Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[noob]

I won't be surprised if he does vuelta now. That's why Ayuso ain't going? Or it's Almeida time to huff

 

[Divergence]

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.

 

[noob]

Meanwhile Yates is spent

 

[Brullnux]

I’m not saying he’s clean, I’m saying Jonas is at least more conceivable of a clean rider because we’ve seen guys like him win the Tour before. Pogacar build riders haven’t really.

What? He's 1.76/1.77 and 63kg, that's not crazy. Probably the least crazy part of his entire profile

absolutely top quality posting today. i am proud to be a part of it folks

Oil money has ruined yet another sport.

They have to put a stop to this shitshow

Not even peak Pantani on an e-bike would be able to compete.

15 minutes to 5th...
23 minutes to 10th...

the overall gaps this year and last year are right back up to the ~1995-2005 era.

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.

Im off to place a bet for Pogacar to win the two last stages! He does not want TVL to win another stage and he wants to destroy everyone! It's money in the bank!

This is actually the buried lede.

Reminds me of when the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase bought the WWF World Championship belt.

 

[madthebad]

I mean even El Pistolero is impressed with Pogi. Game recognizes game!

 

[repoman]

Everyone is still gassed 5 min after finishing, Pog wins, crosses the line and is breathing out of his nose.

Come on man, he was just the freshest today! That's why he won! It was smart of Pog to back out of the Giro at the last second so he'd be fresh for the Tour.

The only way we'll find out what's going on, is when some disgruntled (former) member of UAE starts talking. Ayuso or San Millan, you know what to do.

LMFAO... where was this energy when Vingo had the best TT in the history last year ?

That's because traditionally you had to be good at TTs as well to be competitive in the Tour. This new phenomenon of small, featherweight riders like Pogacar, Vingegaard and Remco cranking out faster flat TTs than the big, tanky specialists is indicative of some next-level alien mutant gear being used. How the f*** are they producing all those watts?

 

[Red Rick]

Hey look. It's me being right for the last 3 months.

 

[ahsoe]

As others have pointed out he has to crush the Vuelta as well. First to win the triple is some feat. F it all.

 

[Abedfo]

This tour has been ***.

The GOAT

In the Vingegaard thread, lol. I guess you din't read that.

But the difference is he didn't win several monument and the Giro in the same year, and as strong as he was last year, this years Pog would still have destroyed him.

That's not really true, TdF winners have often been guys that are great at climbing but can also win TTs. Contador and Froome won TTs in their GTs.

Nah, it’s only Mou.

 

[Nick2413]

I can accept there’s gonna be some doping in sport.

This is way too much to take the sport remotely seriously. Gross.
