While he was still only 22 during the 2021 TdF, he was no longer a U23 rider that year.
While he was still only 22 during the 2021 TdF, he was no longer a U23 rider that year.
He literally won the most prestigious U23 race, the Tour de l'Avenir and it's hard to make a good sprint when you're constantly racing against older, better-prepared riders.
He mixed with really good climbers from WT teams on tough mountain stages.

Give me another example besides Pogacar where an 18yo conti (non-dev team) rider was a factor against WT teams on a +3000m elevation stage w/ a 14km 7.5% climb?
Yes, he won many races as a junior and lost a few (including ITT) to someone who recently retired at the age of 24 because he had no results as a pro. The significance of the junior results has already been outlined. But you just keep repeating the same thing over and over again.
Lefevere has already signed and groomed Remco in 2018 - https://www.soudal-quickstepteam.com/en/news/3538/remco-evenepoel-to-turn-pro-with-quick-step-floors
I guess it's easy to beat 17 year olds when you've got the whole Mapei behind you.
Enough to look at the list of recent winners of the Giro della Lunigiana and the Course de la Paix Juniors. It's pretty easy to decide which one is more prestigious and which one gives a better insight into the list of future GT contenders.
Either way. Here's a picture of Pogacar winning a stage at the Course de la Paix on an oldish Fondriest bike.

Nothing in motogačars rise to current domination with Gianetti&co is even in the same universe with natural. He has talent, but what we are witnessing is total bs. And like @Gianetti_Is_The_Goat mentioned, it's also happening with others in that money protected state dictatorship team.

Like mentioned a dozens of times, it got a lot crazier after 23/24 winter. Also MVDP, Evenepoel, Vingegaard etc. have to focus on particulal events and parcours. They have ups and downs, they can't drop everyone everytime they want to on any parcours and never still get tired or fatigued. It's completely unnatural and the most blatant example cheating in cyclings history.

Look I'm all for coming up with insulting nicknames but they can't be this lazy
The funniest thing is that it's only been two weeks since Pogacar was 4s/km slower than the clean Remco on 40km ITT, even with an e-bike. Moreover, a few days later, after traveling halfway around the world, the clean Remco also destroyed that weak Ganna guy.
These Arabs really need to step up their game; these motors are pretty weak.

Can't take credit for them. Facts thought are never lame or lazy, they're indeed just facts.
Yeah that makes all more ridicilous. He can be that much weaker in less than a week, then when the race that matters for pogster arrives, the super mega watts are there. It's like having a magic button when it really matters and it has been going on full *** mode for two years now. I also think the TT-bike setup has for reasons unknown the assistance. And his not using it all the time, most of the time it's just good old Mauro super juice. The examples of the UAE owned Colnago being rigged have been mentioned here before. And last weekend was also one them, getting the extra push and staying totally fresh after a monster solo and race, while obilirating everyone else.
Want to see a motorbike in action? Check out the WC RR. There was a guy who was literally dropped by almost the entire field on the climb. He put on an act, changed bikes, but unfortunately for him, it wasn't charged. Then he threw a tantrum for a good few minutes by the side of the road, and got the fully charged bike. Then he ITT-ed the entire race, dropping people one by one and finishing the race just a minute behind the winner, who rode non-stop throughout the race.
If you want to imagine an motorbike, then you should definitely look for a pattern like this.

Lmao ignore button is a bliss. Check Fleche Wallone and dozens of other examples. Good bye 😘😇
P.S. He indeed had mechanical problems with the bike already on the climb were he got dropped by dozen of riders.

‘As your jet starts its descent, you are glued to your window. The scene below is astonishing: a 24-square-mile archipelago of coral-coloured islands in the shape of an almost-finished puzzle of the world. In the shallow green waters between continents, the sunken shapes of the Pyramids of Giza and the Roman Colosseum are clearly visible. In the distance, three other large island groups are configured as palms within crescents and planted with high-rise resorts, amusement parks and a thousand mansions built on stilts over the water. The ‘Palms’ are connected by causeways to a Miami-like beachfront crammed with mega-hotels, apartment skyscrapers and yachting marinas.
‘As the plane slowly banks toward the desert mainland, you gasp at the even more improbable vision ahead. Out of a chrome forest of skyscrapers soars a new Tower of Babel. It is an impossible half-mile high: taller than the Empire State Building stacked on top of itself. You are still rubbing your eyes with wonderment as the plane lands and you are welcomed into an airport shopping emporium where seductive goods entice: Gucci bags, Cartier watches and one-kilogram bars of solid gold. The hotel driver is waiting for you in a Rolls Royce Silver Seraph. Friends had recommended the Armani Inn in the 170-storey tower, or the 7-star hotel with an atrium so huge that the Statue of Liberty would fit inside it, and service so exclusive that the rooms come with personal butlers; but instead you have opted to fulfill a childhood fantasy. You always have wanted to play Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
‘Your jellyfish-shaped hotel, the Hydropolis, is, in fact, exactly 66 feet below the surface of the sea. Each of its 220 luxury suites has clear plexiglass walls that provide spectacular views of passing mermaids and of the famed ‘underwater fireworks’: a hallucinatory exhibition of ‘water bubbles, swirled sand and carefully deployed lighting’. Any initial anxiety about the safety of your sea-bottom resort is dispelled by the smiling concierge. The structure has a multi-level fail-safe security system which includes protection against terrorist submarines as well as missiles and aircraft.
‘Although you have an important business meeting at Internet City with clients from Hyderabad and Taipei, you have arrived a day early to treat yourself to one of the famed adventures at the ‘Restless Planet’ themepark. After a soothing night’s sleep under the sea, you board a monorail for this Jurassic jungle. Your first encounter is with some peacefully grazing brontosaurs. Next you are attacked by a flock of velociraptors, the animatronic beasts—designed by experts from the British Natural History Museum—so flawlessly lifelike that you shriek in fear and delight. With your adrenaline pumped up by this close call, you round off the afternoon with some snowboarding on the local indoor snow mountain (outdoors, the temperature is 105°). Nearby is the world’s largest mall—the altar of the city’s famed Shopping Festival, which attracts millions of frenetic consumers each January—but you postpone the temptation. Instead, you indulge in some expensive Thai fusion cuisine. The gorgeous Russian blonde at the restaurant bar stares at you with vampirish hunger, and you wonder whether the local sin is as extravagant as the shopping . . . ’
Fantasy levitated
Welcome to a strange paradise. But where are you? Is this a new Margaret Atwood novel, Philip K. ***’s unpublished sequel to Blade Runner or Donald Trump on acid? No. It is the Persian Gulf city-state of Dubai in 2010. After Shanghai (current population 15 million), Dubai (current population 1.5 million) is the planet’s biggest building site: an emerging dreamworld of conspicuous consumption and what the locals boast as ‘supreme lifestyles’. Despite its blast-furnace climate (on typical 120° summer days, the swankier hotels refrigerate their swimming pools) and edge-of-the-war-zone location, Dubai confidently predicts that its enchanted forest of 600 skyscrapers and malls will attract 15 million overseas visitors a year by 2010, three times as many as New York City. Emirates Airlines has placed a staggering $37-billion order for new Boeings and Airbuses to fly these tourists in and out of Dubai’s new global air hub, the vast Jebel Ali airport.footnote1 Indeed, thanks to a dying planet’s terminal addiction to Arabian oil, this former fishing village and smugglers’ cove proposes to become one of the world capitals of the 21st century. Favouring diamonds over rhinestones, Dubai has already surpassed that other desert arcade of capitalist desire, Las Vegas, both in sheer scale of spectacle and the profligate consumption of water and power.

Anyone else just straight up not watching these races any longer? I just can't be bothered. No interest whatsoever in watching the same single rider do the same suspicious thing over and over and over again.

Yeah I've stopped watching, at least it's saved me £30 a month as I canceled my TNT subscription. If hard-core cycling fans on here aren't watching, I fear for the future of the sport as casual fans won't be round much longer.

“He’s just the GOAT nothing else going on here”🙄
Over 1 minute already, Remco needs e-bike change to make any difference.

Shouldn't have been watching today's race either tbh. It makes me laugh when people talk about tactics; especially posters that post in the Clinic as well. Nothing will make a difference in any case. What a bore.
Haha, the difference between his TT bike and his road bike is just crazy from losing 4 seconds per kilometer to Evenepoel not long ago to completely destroying him on the flats. No doubt that road bike is seriously supercharged.
