In a sport where likely all the top dogs dope in some sort of fashion, I still find Pogacar the least palatable . He never doesn’t have form, can seemingly compete on any territory, and almost always remedies any small mistake instantly. Compare him to the other two podium finishers from last year
Vingegaard: Doesn’t really ride the classics, only ever peaks for the Tour ever year, so if you want to claim he’s free of doping at least.
Remco: Doesn’t have as much of a mountain engine, and has the most varied form of the 3, which is relatively “normal” compared to 10 years ago.

I understand that. We all experienced our riders not being able to win against their rivals (in my case, Contador against Froome).
Well, Vingegaard did beat Pog twice, but since Pog's quantum leap in level, in his mid twenties, while already being the best in the world, is just too much.

So after Contador you decided to take a sure bet for fandom? I was a big fan of Alberto, it started when he was fighting the chicken and got all my respect after beating Pharmastrong. So for me it's really hard to understand why are you know supporting pog, who is way worse in the cheating part than Lance ever was. Alberto wasn't clean either, but he was not even in the same solar system than teddy, lol. He was human!

How do you know Pogačar is ‘way worse in the cheating part than Lance ever was?’

I'm a big fan of Pogacar since he won the last mountain stage in the Vuelta (I notice him when he won Tour de l'Avenir and specially Volta ao Algarve but in the Vuelta he conquered me). So no, I'm a fan before his rise to be honest.
