Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[Red Rick]

LeMond's opinion on Pogacar is probably based on his early success at the Tour (the youngest ever double Tour champion: while still only 22 yo), he certainly described Pogacar as "big talent" a few years back.

LeMond is someone in the good graces of the cycling community, he'd never talk *** about the new golden child. They really don't drive the public opinion they usually just parrot it.

It's so weird that former riders, busted or not and confessed or not, are given credibility. Their entire platform is by the cycling community, they will not break with the party lines, and because of their dependence on cycling to be relevant if anything they are less reliable.

Actually they know, but refrain to not lose the only graces they have left.
