Four minutes faster than Rominger and Indurain in 1993.

Is that...
A) Believable because Indurain was such a fatass and you know... sports science, nutrition and equipment is so much better or whatever
B) Unbelivable because Indurain was pumped to the gills on EPO
C) Right on the border between the two because they cancel each other out?

it's just bicycles that are much faster and lighter man
 
Idk about doping and other stuff which is not allowed, but it is pretty clear that Pog is just maybe the most talented cyclist ever.
There have been generational talents before. Greg Lemond comes to mind. Before Giannetti got involved with him he was maybe one of those. You know, wins a tour with a close margin, in a hard fought battle. Maybe multiple if the team is good. With the help of the state sponsored doping program he’s become an alien. He’s able to win classics with 80km solo attacks. He’s able to peak for months at a time, he’s climbing minutes faster than the biggest dopers in history.
