Luck would be a bigger factor too.

But Pogacar is a well known luck merchant, so obviously luck will be in his favour, no?

No idea what Salah is doing there but everyone here is just going to vote for him because Carragher will spontaneously combust when he wins.

If they had to nominate a Liverpool player who's been gone half of the year it should have been Jota (too soon?).

Well yeahhh. He wasn't that lucky in PR this year. Maybe next year is different.

He actually was though. MVDP punctured if I remember correctly. It's just that he made a mistake leading to his crash earlier.

Anyone read "Tadej Pogačar: Unstoppable" by Andy McGrath?

The author did not have the opportunity to interview Tadej or his closest circle and a great deal of the material from his UAE time is already publically available. According to me, the most interesting parts were the descriptions of his junior and U23 years as well as the evolution of Slovenian cycling.

Note: The Kindle version needs some serious editing, McGrath writes better than that.
