you do realize that if everybody raced today with the same bikes and nutrition of 50 years ago the gaps would be much larger in favour of who has more natural talent? when everybody trains and takes care of nutrition like a maniac and focuses on marginal gains it becomes exponentially harder for anyone to dominate. (it's the equivalent of what happens in competitive markets if you want to find a link to economics).who is stronger,eddie or pog on bread and water,old bikes.50 races.
The gap that pogacar has in the modern era is the biggest testament to his greatness. With old bikes and nutrition his gap with the rest would probably be much larger and his dominance even greater. I really do not understand how people do not get this point
