This inferiority complex (I would like to have another word but I can't find one better) about Pogacar is bliding people to the point they question how better Pogacar is due to equipment.
May I remind people, he won the TdF against Visma with zero relevant teammates?
They're not interested in remembering the 2020 Tour because it dismantles all their theories.

He won the Tour alone against a far superior team like Lotto-Jumbo. He didn't even have a Landa who finished fifth in the Tour.

It's also worth remembering that in 2023, until the accident, he was dominating the season, including resounding victories against Van der Poel at De Ronde and againts Vingegaard at Paris-Nice.
Using him as a reference for Remco in stage races is self-deception.

According to himself, one of his best watts, performances and he was beaten by the stronger guy. I know you like to find excuses for MVP when he loses to Pog but not in that edition. Pog's early attack, their big chase (MVP/WVA/Pog) behind a strong breakaway and the finale was awesome, superb intensity. Pog's 2023 Flandres was maybe better than 2025.
And WVA only won because Pogacar slowed down on Kwaremont (he couldn't drop MVP). If MVP wasn't there, Pogacar would drop WVA for sure. MVP had his best season in 2023 and we should not forget WVA was still in his peak. Now MVP is clearly better than WVA.
Moving on to not be off topic, Bora will have some problems in putting the right schedule to every star they have and for some reason, I believe Roglic will be sacrificed.
