Agree. I think Pog debunked his bad reputation in the heat in the last two TdFs which were hot.

Pogacar crushed the competition on a super hot stage finishing in Hautacam and was super strong during hot days of Tour 2024 as well. If anything, I would say his performance in cold conditions (relative to his rivals) isn't that impressive anymore.

His most recent performances in the cold/wet conditions in the Tour happened when he was slightly sick/had that knee issue though. In Fleche this year in the rain, he still crushed his rivals (but that was just a 500 meter max effort).
