Who is the better cyclist between Pogacar and Vingegaard?

[yesdanielbryan]

Good morning.
I'd like to ask you what do you think about Pogacar and Vingegaard. Who do you think is the better cyclist?
Pogacar is for sure more versatile, but is he also a better cyclist? Or Vingegaard is better, and Pogacar is only more versatile?

I started this thread because in an other forum a user has written: "Pogacar is more versatile, but Vingegaard is better because he has beaten him twice at TDF, and considering that TDF is the most important race;". So he stated that the top/best GC rider should be also considered the best cyclist in the world, although he doesn't win Classics, do you agree with that statement? He said that the fact that Pogacar wins monuments is insignificant in comparison to win GC, and in particular TDF, so he is not as good as Vingegaard.

Thank you very much

Pogacar is more versatile and complete than Vingegaard.
Jonas vingegaard is a better time trialist and climber than pogacar.

Hate to break it to you, but if you're looking for a simple straightforward answer... you might be a little disappointed.

As far as I'm concerned, this million dollar question is an attempt from a ChatGPT bot getting answers from other human bots here.

While Vingegaard is undoubtedly one of the best cyclist in generation , Pogacar is one whose virtues span across more generations. So Pogacar obviously.

As far as I'm concerned, Armchair cyclist has the best take on this issue.

I just can't see Jodej Pogagaard being beaten.

Though Tadas Vingecar could run him close.

Pogi. Much better palmares and potential

Who won the Tour de France this year and last year? Who won Velo d'Or this year? There is your answer

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Cycling is so much more than the Tour.

Pogacar have won the same (or equal races) as Vingegaard. Vingegaard cannot win the same races as Pogacar.

Therefore the obvious answer is Pogacar.

I put draw based on riding qualities. But Ving is boring and Pog is entertaining so Pog is definitely the better to watch. You could only be a Ving fan if you have the intellect of a CPA.

More important question. Best offseason topic. Pogacar vs Vingegaard, Contador vs Froome or Nibali vs Valverde?

Remco

Teddy is the best road cyclist in decades.

 

[Netserk]

Teddy is the best road cyclist in decades.

He still hasn't surpassed Armstrong.

 

[Froome]

He still hasn't surpassed Armstrong.

Not even surpassed the hard miles that froome did.

Teddy is the best road cyclist in decades.

The best since Hinault at least.

Therefore the obvious answer is Pogacar.

This I think is really the most important aspect of it. One can easily imagine Pog beating (which he has already) or at least giving Vingegaard a run for his money on his home turf. You can never imagine Vingegaard posing any real threat on Pog’s territory - you know, the one he shares with MvdP…

The other argument is - how far back would Vinge have to go to meet the guy who can do the things he does? Maybe Froome already, but definitely Lance. And then Indurain.. For Pog, it’s Hainault and Mercx and that‘s it, pretty much…

Remco

Remco memes are the new Vino memes

 

[Froome]

The best since Hinault at least.

Not yet in terms of achievements but he could be in the future, if he don't decline.

Thanks @Elos Anjos .

Roglič.

Seriously, it's Pogi.

 

[Berniece]

Pogacar, by far

 

[Cookster15]

Pogacar by far. Poll suggests the overwhelming majority of forumites agree.
