Best since Roche. I can't say which of Indurain's 1992 and 1993 seasons was the best, but you could argue they are on a similar level.The best racing season that I remember anyone doing and at only 22/23. Congrats Tadej!
and there is literally no one close to him when there are successive long climbs. not even rog. and if not rog, certainly not bernal.

Considering he's proven to be able to peak towards a goal, it's baffling nobody was talking about him. He was my personal prerace favorite.Pogacar timed his peak to perfection. What a race by him. He showed he was the strongest in the race. An incredible way to end the season.
When he kicks ass... he knows itLol, that look on his face was something.
It was understandable really that he would be downplayed a bit because he was not in his best form in the other Italian classics. Despite that, people still rated him as one of the favorites because you can just never count him out. Glad he was able to peak for Il Lombardia.Considering he's proven to be able to peak towards a goal, it's baffling nobody was talking about him. He was my personal prerace favorite.
i'm just a tad young to ever have seen merckx at his best but we're getting a taste withHe is the best rider to hit his peak right in a long time. What a rider. Biggest talent ever?
Clearly the best all-around cyclist in decades right now. Best classics palmares and best GT palmeres this year. Wow. I’m a Rog and Contador guy but this guy is looking like the best rider in decades.
