Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

However Yates fantastic comeback as a tour winner 2026 and retirement might indicate early access to super blood.

Early access, incredible results but mentally torn so he quits. Who knows? His Finestre result is such a performance outlier of his career (~ 6.14 w/kg for an hour!) and exactly when it mattered most of all.

Mr Gianetti's 'methods' weren't able to counter Simon Yates in the Giro

Not a good day to mention Simon Yates...

What is the biggest deal is the bio-passport cannot distinguish between natural and synthetic hemoglobin like how they can distinguish between young and old red blood cells to detect autologous infusion.

On Mauro, and UAE, it still needs to be explained why they might be the only team using synthetic hemoglobin? And I am not seeing crushing dominance from their other riders (not Pogi). Some are predicting big things from Del Toro but Mr Gianetti's 'methods' weren't able to counter Simon Yates in the Giro.

Del Toro was better than Yates during the entire Giro, including the final stage. That was a massive tactical failure.
