Vingegaard cracked from his poor base due to the injury, Pogacar annd UAE were just that much better, and he will be happy to even do that well after his injuries.

Do you reckon this Mou thing is a smokescreen for doping? They know there will be huge questions on Pogi's improvement this year so they release these explanations about his training improvements. But they know it will be dismissed if it comes from official channels, so they post it on this forum as if written by some lunatic. This way people will love it and make it some weird cult thing. People will also think that if there are leaks over this there would be leaks over doping. This also provides some explanations as well that people will believe

100%, and it’s working based on twitter interactions.

People who accuse him of doping better have concrete proof or else theyre getting sued and his ''improvements'' can be explained with that he is 25 still improving not even in his peak yet & that he changed coaches.

It's just speculation. If UAE start suing people for speculating that he might be too good to be true, I suspect that will do them a lot more harm than good

Well, one thing is past and one thing is present.
To dope or to be a doper is not to be a criminal, for me is serious, but not criminal.

It should be criminal if it involves people under 18, as it often do in the start.
We don´t know the full impact on health with all of it yet after all, but we have some theories (depending on what it is)
 
Armstrong officially trying to give Pog some advice about how to keep a low profile and that he knows from experience that being to agressive and smashing your opponent might get you suspected...

That.. that.. is just... Think about this for a secound... Why can´t they just either once for all catch all this people or give free roam to it (I would prefer the first, for the health of the riders) Nobody believes any of this anymore and tbh. I´ve seen performances in the last 10 years, that were even worse than Armstrongs era..

Its really hard to enjoy cycling, when there are riders that basically never have an off day and just sprints like motor driven cycle. Its not as charming as it once was.

All outlier performances in pro cycling come out with smokescreens. Who can forget the wild explanations for the most absurd performance since the EPO era ended - Vingegaard’s Combloux time trial last year.
Why was absurd, He was the best rider of the race, he is quite good at ITT. The ITT has lot of climb. It is normal at the end of a 3 weeks race the best rider make the difference on the ITT. Vingegaard cant respond a powerfull attack of Pogacar, but he can do that.

If you dont belive in sport about good days and exhibitions of his best sportman, I dont understand what are you doing following it. Of course it was an amazing performance, but it is not to assure something not allowed is there.

In my efforts to substantiate Tadej Pogačar's integrity in the 2024 Tour de France, I have meticulously examined official statements from race organizers and anti-doping agencies. Despite this, I have been unable to locate records of his independent testing. Could you provide information on the frequency of Tadej's tests? His performance this year has been exceptional.
