More pizza is of course better.

Maybe you don't remember but it was TBH who hit him with a very reckless move.

Don't know why his agent is lying and wants to be in the spotlight so much. Pogacar himself said knee issues started stage 17...

Doesn't matter much. It just shows what a snake his manager is. Pogacar in most cases is honest and fair. The opposite of his manager.

Pogi stated that knee problem appeared when he hit his handlebar during Mt Ventoux finish.
While that crash didn't affect him at all in the Pyrenees maybe it did make him more tired at the end.

I didn't know. In fact I always thought his knee injury was caused by his crash in stage 11.

When I saw the following, I thought of another Tour de France winner who pushed his own battle with cancer and formed a foundation.

Carera added that additional sponsorship income is also directed to the Tadej Pogacar Foundation, which Pogacar created with his partner Urska Zigart to support cancer-related causes. “The second part, they give the money to the Tadej Pogacar Foundation,” Carera said. “The foundation gives this money to the hospital to help people fight against cancer.”

I'm not saying that Pogi's foundation does not pass on money to people, but so too did that "other one". A coincidence maybe.
