Totally deserved.

I expect Pogačar to dominate this award in the next few years.
Yeah, he should win every year but expectations for him are very high so if he doesn't win the Tour, he will not win the Velo d'Or

Omg this guy is so jealous of pog😞
He wants attention. It's so obvious Merckx is only considered better due to his better palmares, even if it was gained in a much weaker era. For example, monuments were basically disputed by belgians. When we talk about ability, there is no doubt Pogacar is the best ever. He just needs to win all monuments and GTs (and 2 Tours) to end this discussion.

Stick up for your generation as you should.
Having always extolled how great he was to be able to win big when Merckx reigned de Vlaeminck is unlikely to say someone else is better.

If Pogačar wins Giro or Vuelta, Worlds and at least one monument, he should still get the Velo d'Or unless the jury is deliberately against him or Vingegaard wins two GTs in that season.

Well done him.
Having been a big winner in the Merckx era including all five monuments who would say that another rider is better.
Roger was a dog eat dog racer with a big mouth and big brother to beat.
And her raced in the Brooklyn and Belgian champs jerseys.
