Pretty incendiary interview from Pogacar’s coach. Says basically that Pogi’s rivals are in terrible form, have “nothing.”
Dr. Iñigo San Millán says skepticism around Pogačar is unwarranted; rivals simply aren't as strong in 2021 as they were last year.

Who has said he's better than last year? He already was on that level last year, I'd say.
Anyway, pretty dismissive of the other teams and riders.
I mean, sure you try do explain why Pogacar is so much better, but this is a nasty way of doing it. If all the others are so much weaker it must be because they all messed up their preparation? Not only Ineos, Jumbo, but also guys like Stefan Küng and all the others? Aha.
"With us, we did analysis to see if the riders are catabolic [losing muscle], how their training is being stimulated, what their fatigue is, and we are being very, very careful with the nutrition. Nutrition at altitude is a whole different planet compared to at sea level."
And all the other have only amateurs working for them, or what?
Everything else about this to be discussed in the clinic.
