Yes exactly, we were talking all the time of seasons 24/25 after teddys jump and you brought up Jonas in season 22/23😂. I rest my case.22/23 do keep up. Good 👍 you want to end this meaningless exchange.

So, you narrow the period to 24/25 so far? So it fits your narrative.Yes exactly, we were talking all the time of seasons 24/25 after teddys jump and you brought up Jonas in season 22/23😂. I rest my case.
Being cooked is literally being dropped by the Peloton on the first serious climb. Finishing on the podium isn't being cooked man. Come on.
So fast, that the UCI want to slow it down. Time for a big drug bust, and a "Tour of Renewal"! That'll sort things out ....The peloton is faster than ever. Every year.
Sounds perfectly fair to me.If we listen some of you cycling should invent new rules :
- Any GT winner that finishes more than 2 min in front of the second best should be disqualified.
- Any GT winner that wins a flat classic should be disqualified.
- Any GT winner that doesn't lose a few minutes at least once in the year should be disqualified
No you started changing the years after the reasoning didn't fit your narrative anymore. We had been talking of pogs total lunatic level after the winter 23/24, he was crazy even before and with Gianetti&co in the back not beliavable. After only reading this forum for many years, I even registered when it got totally out of hand with pog&gianetti.So, you narrow the period to 24/25 so far? So it fits your narrative.

This is not only for you, but with the reasoning we see here from some posters, I really have to believe many are quite new to following pro cycling. The context is not there and quite frankly the comparisons/examples made are well a bit off.
If what you're talking about is Pog's insane jump in level for the '24 season, then it clearly doesn't make sense to bring up the previous seasons.So, you narrow the period to 24/25 so far? So it fits your narrative.
No I/we here have been mostly talking about the last two seasons, when it has gotten super ridicilous. How hard can it be to understand, it's not that complicated. Of course I recognise others wins too, when have I said I don't. Seriously starting to question your reading comprehension.It was you wanted a date span fitting your narrative first.
And you don't recognise MvDP, Remco and Jonas wins.
This is 100% what I have also been saying, but somehow get attacked with oneliners again and again, even thought it's not a difficult point and also actually based on pure facts about the performances of the riders. Not even been accusing a lot of pog about anything just know😅just stating that the results and the performances are really not even comparable.If what you're talking about is Pog's insane jump in level for the '24 season, then it clearly doesn't make sense to bring up the previous seasons.
It would be the same as if, ten years ago, Froome apologists had said: "Of course he isn't doping. Look how bad his results were in 2010!". That's clearly besides the point.
Fitting your narrative that is. Don't you think Mathieu and Remco have done amazing things? And Jonas comeback from his near death experience?No I/we here have been mostly talking about the last two seasons, when it has gotten super ridicilous.

Just because they said so does not make it a fact (I mean Gianetti and co lying? That would be unprecedented, how dare they?)There is zero doubt in my mind, the huge leap Pogacar took between 2023 and 2024 is related with having a new coach and way less a new doping program.
He really started doing things he never did before. Heat training and strenght training. These are facts.
Whataboutism and false equivalences, do you have anything else?Fitting your narrative that is. Don't you think Mathieu and Remco have done amazing things? And Jonas comeback from his near death experience?
Zero doubt huh? Here’s some case for doubt. Two words none of the Pogacar apologists can get around: Mauro Gianetti. The old leopard doesn’t change his spots. Never has. Case closed.There is zero doubt in my mind, the huge leap Pogacar took between 2023 and 2024 is related with having a new coach and way less a new doping program.

In 2023, Mauro was in UAE so this argument is not great.Zero doubt huh? Here’s some case for doubt. Two words none of the Pogacar apologists can get around: Mauro Gianetti. The old leopard doesn’t change his spots. Never has. Case closed.
It doesn't add up. Strength training, heat training and some different intervals, do not account for a 10% increase in power. It's the law of diminishing returns. When you're already training a lot, the benefits of increased and/or optimized training get smaller and smaller. The only thing that could explain such a leap would be hugely increase volume, as in doubled or tripled even, and there obviously wasn't room for that.There is zero doubt in my mind, the huge leap Pogacar took between 2023 and 2024 is related with having a new coach and way less a new doping program.

The narrative switch from "San millan is a genius!!!" to "He's a fraud, thank god for Sola!!!" is kinda hilarious tbf.It doesn't add up.

Yes, and in 2023 he could have introduced a new doping regime/product or increased the existing one.In 2023, Mauro was in UAE so this argument is not great.
And until 2023 they were using a mediocre doping program... please, they are fully doping at the highest level since 2020 (at least)Yes, and in 2023 he could have introduced a new doping regime/product or increased the existing one.
I find the argument very good.
No, I never said that.And until 2023 they were using a mediocre doping program... please, they are fully doping at the highest level since 2020 (at least)
Lol. Believe in what you want.No, I never said that.
Of course they are fully doping. But maybe not pushing the boundaries beyond the extreme.
