If you are tired with the UAE&pog clownshow like i am, here is something to entertain you over the long winter months. Also imho it is absolutely astonishing how differently pog climbs with the TT-bike than the road one. I get the setup, position etc is different, but the gap shouldn't be this enermous. Where are the 450-500 watts 20 minutes efforts on TT-bike and the solo quality he has on the roadbike, often for tens of kilometers in a row.

So how many times do you think normal peds are being used and not being caught? Motors are there and the technology has advanced massively since the first inside the tube battery was made in the late 90s. Even since the bust of Femke Van den Driessche almost ten years back, the size of batteries have gone down and power up. And this is only the technology that is publicly available. You have a smartphone, how did they look over 20 years back? So how can you be sure that something is not being used in a UAE owned Colnago, when there are also the monster watts, attacks, UCI sponsoring and never dropping form. I also think that the UAE team with Gianetti, Matxin and other fraudsters wouldn't have any problem morally using some sophisticated e-assistance.
You can think/believe whatever you want. The truth is that there is zero evidence of him using e-bikes.
I believe that there is a huge difference between PEDs and using motors. Sure, PEDs are still being used and people are rarely getting caught. Also, there are many procedures sportsmen are undertaking which fall into the so called gray area. And, sure, I believe Pog is fully utilizing everything at his disposal.
I also believe that Pog is the best cyclist ever and probably top 3 sportsmen ever (although this is difficult to judge).
I cannot reliably say how would the relative dominance levels compare if everybody were panyagua, but my song believe is that Pog would be head and shoulders above everybody regardless.

I mean, isn’t it obvious by now? They probably don’t even need the PEDs. And again, it’s the unexpected one off isolated and unexpected drops in performance that give the game away. To merely argue that it’s ‘incontheivable’ is to ignore the empirical evidence and the factual context.

Pog wouldn't be head and shoulders above everyone if they all were riding on paniaqua. The team behind him and his transformation first after joining UAE and then again in 23/24 winter is enough to judge on that. So just another one who thinks his goldenboy can't be cheating on a higher level than others, oh the memories from Armstrong era. In a state sponsored team lead by possible the dirtiest backround team in cyclings history, well everyone is allowed to believe what they want.

I was you once. Twenty years ago. I thought Armstrong was the greatest living sportsman. Then I got my eyes opened. And Pogacar is making what Armstrong did look like amateur hour. There’s not a cat in hell’s chance any of it is real and it sure as hell isn’t sport.
 
No.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't be stupid enough to post it here, sorry.

But hey if you want to know more about hidden motors you can contact the monegasque company hps.
Very friendly people.


Or even better just come to Monaco like this you can also meet Pogi in his fav bakery :)

I've trekked a lot in the Alps but never been to the Maritime Alps. Maybe I should to go there, do some nice hikes and ask Pogi what's really going on.
