Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

There’s no way only one could get popped without the other being positive as well. That goes with MVDP as well if it’s Pogacar that has a positive of anything.

Difference with MVDP is that he isn’t good at everything and he isn’t good ALL THE TIME. You can see a clear difference between MVDP at Flanders or at LBL. He’s already on a downward trajectory. Pogi on the other hand is almost at 100% all the time, and never tires.

He only rides MTB, CC and road with great success.

He is just not a climber.

Pog is very complete and the best climber.

Yep. MVDP can’t do it all like golden balls can. He targets certain times of the year and certain types of races, primarily the classics season because he’s a classics type of rider, not even able to do what Van Aert can do in GC. He then goes missing as he moves into a recuperation block. Even with those races he targets there’s usually a pattern to his form, getting better as his season starts before eventually dropping off towards the end of his race sequence. In other words, he appears to be incredibly talented but ultimately human. Pogacar doesn’t seem to need rest, has little variation to his form through huge blocks of race sequences, doesn't see a parcours which he thinks doesn’t suit him, and can now even compete in sprint finishes. Sorry, that’s just not possible.
