Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

So they don't reward the accomplishments of the year before?

They do, but they also just seem to have very Pop-culture surface level, favorite sports of luxury and rich people criteria it seems. They basically just give it to whoever a sports casual would think is the best athlete. That‘s why Bolt won a frankly ridiculous four because he was just very famous. Federer won four in a row, Djokovic 5, I agree the award is BS.
Pidcock got action sportsperson of the year, though, so he‘s one up on Pogačar. Tadej better get on that Mountainbike for the next Olympics

It seems that Florian Vermeersch will go to the Tour instead of the Giro due to injuries.

Compared to cycling tennis (and many other disciplines) have a reputation of clean sport. It's about reputation, not about actual things going on. Cycling has been totally compromised regarding doping: too much fight against doping proved costly to the sport.
