Top reasons to dislike Pogačar

[VanBsr]

Even though he’s without a doubt on his way to becoming the greatest cyclist in history, and even though I think he’s a genuinely likeable guy, a great teammate to both his squad and the peloton, and someone who’s overall good for the sport, especially since he’s one of the few riders whose aura reaches beyond the sport itself, drawing more and more people toward cycling, his dominance can still be frustrating.

So I’m asking you: which of the reasons listed in the poll, or any others (feel free to add your own), bother you the most about Pogi’s dominance?

To get things started: from my point of view, what I saw in this Tour, with Pogi looking after his teammate, wanting to hand him a stage win and a spot on the podium, felt a bit too much. A mix of the arrogance of someone far too strong to still count his rivals an obstacle, and a lack of respect toward the yellow jersey.

I like the guy but he is too good. This makes most races he enters too predictible. I can appreciate the greatness but races (at least for me) nowadays lack suspension and element of surprise.

MODERATOR HAT ON

I'm struggling to see this as a thread that can have much effect other than stirring up rancour and causing unhealthy rows rather than constructive debate. I am going to lock it for now, and will "take counsel".
