Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[DrSahl]

Most sports police themselves, which is why no one serious ever gets caught.

Its just not fun to watch "staged" performances like this.
I am sick of all the duels.. I know many like them.. Pog is however atleast charismatic and that helps him alot, like it helped riders before him.

Craziest performance I have ever, ever seen. Granted, didn't watch cycling in 00s, but this was how I i.agine it was back then

 

[Mayomaniac]

At this point I'm started to get worried about their health, those guys are flying too close to the sun.

Now all Pogacar needs to do is conquer the Volta Portugal.

Insane performance today, up there with the most astonishing displays of athletic endurance the sport has seen. The dial has been upped another notch again this year, UAE weren’t going to beaten at this years race.

 

[acm]

I don't know how much longer I will watch this circus...

 

[noob]

So with the time gaps today who more than Pog beat Pantani??

 

[QueenStagiaire]

At least the pace before the climb was… what the hell?

 

[Penninepeddler]

2 minutes on Armstrong yesterday...
3 minutes on Pantani today...

I mean, back-to-back days too?

A few years ago things were "believable" again.

But these guys are 25 and 27 years old... your V02 max does not magically increase year after year, and we know the gains that bikes give are marginal up-hill.

 

[Salvarani]

Way more than 6.6 w/kg. He took 3 and half minutes on Pantani

It is the numbers that Mou was talking about. A couple need to apologize asap for ridiculing his claims. They know who they are.

 

[Rackham]

Somebody should hand out some iodine pills to the spectators after that, even people watching on TV might need it.

 

[lenric]

pogacar would beat peak doped armstrong quite easily, incredible

 

[noob]

Remco also faster than Pantani, no? If Pog took 3 minutes on Pantani and Remco was 2:51 both him and Jonas also beat Pantani

 

[GuntherL1]

Anyone whom believes Pog is clean is new to cycling.
Its starting to become Armstrong like levels.

Hopefully in the future there are either less or free enhancements, so that we can get a larger pool of contenders that will fight to the end.

The numbers Pog pull are insane. Pantani would have lost minuttes to him today.

It's much worse. Armstrong peaked at the TdF. Pogacars at every race all season long.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Like to apologise to Chris Froome for accusing him of doping all those years back.

Froomey. If you're seeing this.

 

[Ulle97]

My goodness lads this is just surreal.
Smashing Pantani's time by almost 4mins🙄🙄

Fair enough, we all believe that the top riders in the sport take PEDs to boost performance. But this is just on another level.

Some mentioned motors earlier. Idk, Pogacar was almost crashing into the barriers on some of the hairpins..... That's on 9 or 10% gradients btw.

 

[burning]

Remco also faster than Pantani, no?

It looks like he is, this is unbelievably insane, lmao

 

[slim charles]

Remco also faster than Pantani, no?

And Landa not far off, either

Aye, cycling is the new wrestling :-(

A team financed by a nation, a de facto dictatorship, run by one of the most shady persons in cycling history, making insane performances all year. Yeah - great for cycling!

That was just a motorized bike.

What the actual *** did we just watch 🤯

more than 3 minutes faster than Pantani

wtf
