Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

[AlpRaid]

A weak national team that can't control the race and is unable to make it difficult. Buddy, road bike racing is a bit more complex than you think.

hardly was an issue in 24 and 25.

but in 22 he couldn't even drop an entire peloton on a steep hill.

he is completely altered. it's ridiculous.

He is completely altered, but that's not to say that he wasn't ridiculously good before.

For all you doubters out there, "never tested positive!"

Got any evidence of that?

I actually quoted the wrong X-post for the genetic doping, recovery from crashes etc. post. Here is the right analysis, which in my opinion sounds like a good/possible explanation, genetical and neurological manipulation. This analysis also seems to apply on current Seixas form on and the fast rise in power on some points. Allthough I have to admit Seixas looks a lot more talented, if you just compare the junior results, I know junior results have many variables, but still Pog only started showing the so called super talent after joining the ranks of Gianetti, Matxin and UAE.

Maybe you should check the facts, buddy. The Slovenian team had six members in 2022, eight in 2024, and nine in 2025. They were in control and made the race hard for the past two years.

In any case, it’s completely pointless to argue with people who have never done any endurance sports in their lives, since they clearly lack even the most basic understanding of how this sport works. So it’s easier to just leave this thread in peace...

Exactly, it's not like UCI hasn't done that before for their "golden" boys.

I always thought Pogacar was suspicious, but after I learned that UAE owns the bike brand they use, I got even more suspicious (motordoping).

Fascinating. Our only hope is that others can more successfully hack their genes so we can have a more equal competition.

He has clear physical limits,he gets tired,he cant drop anyone at will and he needs hard race to win. Next question.
