Even your own arguments are going against you.
So MVDP is close to De Vlaeminck, and Pogacar already beat him 2x in Flanders.
Vingegaard is close to Ocana, and Pogi already beat him 3x.
But Pogi is not even among the greats ? Hahahaaa...
-------
There is absolutely ZERO person in the cycling world who is NOT A HATER, who would deny that Pogi is among the GREATS, and most would agree he is in contention for the Number 1 spot.
De Vlaeminck finished seventh in the Sallanches World Championships, while VDP doesn't even compete in some classics because the are hard.
Furthermore, De Vlaeminck also won more races than VDP. If Pogacar isnñ one of the greats with his track record VDP is even less so.
But VDP is already one of the best, and Pogacar, who is far superior to him as a cyclist, isn't. LOL
Overrating Vingegaard while they underrating Pogacar is nonsense at this point. There's no comparison between the two as cyclists in general.
It's like when those who defend Remco undervalue Pogacar. If they undervalue Pogacar, what are they doing with Remco, who doesn't even have half the important wins in GT and Monuments? It's absurd.
To defend VDP, Vingegaard, or Remco, the most absurd thing is to undervalue Pogacar, who has won twice as much as them. If Pogacar isn't that good then the others are much worse.
