I can well imagine teams are now trying to make it appear like they did everything right, when they did not. However Primoz was not bad on the flat part. He obviously did not expect to already lose a lot of time on Tadej there. Dumoulin and van Aert were not just sad about what they saw. They could not believe their eyes, it was quite visible. And I am already doubting van Aert a lot, if not the whole Jumbo team...
Kämna spoke about the incredible watts of Pogacar even before the time trial, but he attributed them to data probably not being measured right. Now it looks very much like the technical side was working correctly.
We have no proof for Pogacar doping. But the fact that he showed something that left almost everyone with their mouths open while being surrounded by shady people is enough to seriously question him. Downtalking what other riders have done in this race does not seem the right way for me in this.
We can talk about Dumoulin not switching bikes, Roglic's helmet, van Aert not being a real climber, Cavagna not being a climber, Porte not being a real time trialist, but then we still have the pure watts and times done by Pogacar, which are pretty extreme.
In addition we have someone like Schachmann four minutes behind, Kämna 4.12 behind, Kragh Andersen 4 minutes behind, de Gendt 4.11 behind... Of course you can find reasons for them as well not performing well, injured, exhausted... and so on... but they should have done pretty well in this and they were going all in with good equipment. What I want to say: this was not a low level time trial. Some guys, like Porte and Cavagna, were really, really strong themselves. (We might just as well question them instead of taking them as a point of reference that Pogacar was not so very strong.)
