Didn't say that TdS wasn't a farce. But he did get there with the climbing legs.
Hincapie? I don't know how much he did outside of winning Plat d'Adet from the break.

Absolutely! I think we can probably queue up all the regular excuses and excuse makers ...
It‘s in line with his normal crazy time gains on other climbs but gaining 30 seconds looks crazier if you do it on a fancy bike
Yeah there was very little that was unexpected about this other than the ratio between his T1 and T2 split.
There's nothing ridiculous about what happened today. Simply, he is a better rider than the others on this race.
Uh, I dunno -- either winning or being in very close contention of winning four of seven stages is a bit much. Reminds me of when Armstrong was chastised by Dr. Ferarri for making it look too obvious.
That's quite normal, especially when again the other top riders are not there to have some competition. I don't find outrageous the gaps he had to the others riders today.
Yeh, similar to a 60kg skeleton doing stage 16 of last year's TdF.
Hey, whatever floats your boat. Just don't make it sound like Pogacar was racing against amateurs.
They are not amateurs, but the field is really weak. LPDBF TT was more impressive.
I don't know what LPDBF TT is. Are you referring to the Gay Games? (I'm kidding.)
Maybe they should be riding the Giro instead of the deadwood left behind by Pogacar.
The GC field is weak. But arguably the best TT specialist in the world came 2nd. We will know exactly how hard Pogacar pushed himself today as this Giro unfolds. Next rendezvous: Prati di Tivo.
+the weak field is one reason why the double might be possible this year. The other is the relative dearth of climbing metres this Giro compared to previous years when a serious attempt on the double was made - eg Contador 2011 and 2015.
I said arguably
. Ganna only finished 12sec down on Remco at Glasgow. Point is Pogacar's performance was great compared to Ganna - nothing weak about that competition.But Pog today was still light years lower level than Vingegaard's stage 16 demolition in last year's TdF
The performance of Pogacar was great, that's undeniable.I said arguably
But Pog today was still light years lower level than Vingegaard's stage 16 demolition in last year's TdF
Today was way less absurd than stage 16 of the 2023 Tour de France. That TT was only 32 minutes and the gaps were much bigger than today's 51 minute effort. Lest we forget ....

Pogacar also made bigger gaps on that day, if we forget Vingegaard, but it was on stage 18.Today was way less absurd than stage 16 of the 2023 Tour de France. That TT was only 32 minutes and the gaps were much bigger than today's 51 minute effort. Lest we forget ....

I hope Pogačar gets the double. Just to see this place explode. LOL.
It was less absurd, no argument about that. In fact, it might be less absurd than many a Tour TT.Today was way less absurd than stage 16 of the 2023 Tour de France. That TT was only 32 minutes and the gaps were much bigger than today's 51 minute effort. Lest we forget ....

Nothing beats awesome dopage to make the clinic explode. And Taddy is cranked.
We'll need a higher level of meme beyond the Pogenheimer one.
La plance des belles filles TT. I.e Stage 20 of the 2020 TDF.
