Give them a break, times are difficult for non-Pogacar fans. Eddy is too scared to unretire and face Teddy so their only hope is that Coppi resurrects somehow. Desperate times, indeed.

First of all, I'm poking fun. I'm not trying to shame you, I am trying to pick your brain. You don't like to cheer for countrymen, ok. And you don't like to root for boring riders.
Personally, when I am not rooting for other Belgians, you know as required by cult, blood, law and peer pressure, I will always root for the underdog. I personally find it boring to root for the overwhelming favorite. Unless he is Belgian, but again I have no choice in that matter.

That's like claiming Rutger Wouters is the GOAT of cycling because he's won a million kermesse races.

But its still not fun rooting for Remco in time trials, right? Or do you like when he wins easily?

Are you really badmouthing Rutger Wouters?! Because I will tell you something mister, I have no idea who that is!

Remco is Belgian, I am required to like him.

No problem, big chance a mod will delete them. Or did they grow a sense of humor all of a sudden? Unlikely!

I know that you think that's funny, but it seems to me you are dodging that question since your main question was you couldn't understand how one could be rooting for a dominating rider. Alright then

Pogacar was an underdog in the 2019 Vuelta and 2020 TdF. So you are a fan but if he starts winning too much, you change your favorite rider?

I actually already answered that question. During national championships there are other riders i root for. If Evenepoel weren't Belgian, i would only root for him to beat boring mister Universe. But if he would then be riding against Healy or Vacek, i would not. I can root for one rider in one race and root against him in another.
Yes, i liked both Pog and Rog initially. For Rog it's different, not really because he became too dominant, but because he lost his chaotic and attacking ways of pre 2019.

Okay, I guess you are a superior human being then. Gongrats! I will try and try and TRY to root for Valentin Madaous and Laurens Rex next year in Tour of Flanders, but I can already tell I will be having a hard time. God bless the underdogs.

Was there ever really any doubt?
Seriously man, everybody roots for who they like. My posts are for fun, not to criticise. And i am well aware and also poking fun of chauvinism, but that's also part of the beauty. Think of all the decades these Slovanian suckers didn't have anyone to root for, lol.

Actually now that I think about it, I obviously root for WVA in Flanders and every other race he can win, so I guess Im rooting for the underdog and therefore its probably more even.
I believe that Pogi could have participated in this tread all while racing.

Feasting on what? Not even water and gels, riding alone. The lone long ranger?
He should switch to unicycle to make things interesting on the last lap... 😅
Very specialised era ATM, Pogi specialist in GT, week long stage racing and at one day race events, regardless of the surface.
