This article shows what I have been saying about Pogacar being under prepared for junior races, when other juniors were already training like a pro (and I don't even say how much better the equipment was compared to Pogacar).
absolutely, but one could argue that also in his first two 2 tdf he was under prepared, you can see it clearly from his body composition. Sola mentioned it in the december camp that a big step pog made in 2024 was related to his body composition. When you look at some 18/19 years old riders that become pro today you can visually see they are already more maximised than a 21/22 year old pog, which makes his first 2 tdf victories absolutely impressive

Now mvp has been sick all season!

Allergic to pogi
It’s funny; days before, he was better than ever, and in the race he even rode brilliantly following several relentless KOM efforts non stop and was clearly best of the rest in terms of strenght. For his sake, just one too many.

MvdP is awesome, but this Pogacar is just a different level even in RVV. It really shouldn’t be hard to admit that. Notice how it’s not MvdP with the excuses.

Some of them are even saying he was on the level of Wout and Pedersen even after dropping them (with Pogi) 3 or 4 times (Paterberg, Koppenberg, Taaienberg, I think I am forgetting other berg). He just got cooked by a better classics rider.

This is what’s so annoying about die hard Pogacar fans. Instead of saying nice win of Pogi, a shame MVDP wasn’t at his best, you guys have to keep pushing the narrative as if he’s much better than anyone else on the bike. Deliberately ignoring all signs that MVDP wasn’t at his best.

When Mathieu and Remco loses to Tadej, they are never at their best. According to your narrative
