Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[Rotted Melon]

...this all changed some time around 2020 and now we are seeing what humans are really capable of doing (probably even more than this but it is a good trajectory)...

Yeah, we got them big pulley wheels on rear derailleurs, ceramic bearings, and chain lubes made from graphene that all save watts. Watts man! WATTS!

The guys in the 90's and 00's were just as dead serious about training and how they lived back then as now. There's just more money and watt saving technology now (like inboard motors). WATTS!

How is it possible that Pogacar is performing ten times worse here than, for example, in the Tour... mechanical doping. He looks 100 times more tired than after a tough Tour stage or a Monument. Ridiculous.

Romandie is an early Asian criterium, fake climbs, fake sprints. Mauro had promised the race organizers that one day he would bring Tadej. Zone 0-1 till the end and everyone is happy. He was constantly looking at the power meter not to accidentally drop the other 3 riders.
