  In a global journey spanning more than 50 years, Stücke travelled over 600,000 kilometres by bicycle, but he never competed in bike racing. He's in the Guinness Book of Records.

  I see it like this: Before this cycling year is over, Pogi can still win the Vuelta, the World Championships (third in a row) and the last Monument-Lombardy (sixth time in a row). I think he will win them all. Next year-2027 he has to win a few more Monuments, especially Paris-Roubaix and the stage race Itzulia Basque Country. And what's most important, he has to win TdF for the sixth time and he will be in a club of his own... the one and the only!!! He needs nothing more...he can retire (he won't, but he could). As far as I'm concerned, he's already the G.O.A.T., regardless of his palmares. If he keeps going at this rate for another 4 years, until 2030, no one will ever match him in the future.

  @SLO: I haven't said this so far, but I think he's the greater rider, as well. I am in awe like I've never been of any rider, as an adult. I also know how these things get compared. Fifty years from now, when Merckx's records are 100 years old and only a few really old people remember Pogačar racing, people will look at his palmares. People forget the nuance, they look toward numbers, it's just how it is. Look at how they talk about Bartali, "...his prime years were curtailed by the interruption of World War II. That context demands special care when interpreting his statistics." Yes, in my mind Pogačar is actually outdoing Merckx in many ways, but if his career ends prematurely, he'll get the "what could have been" caveat added when interpreting his statistics. Merckx will remain on top, because of his palmares, which he got when he raced longer at that high a level. It's cycling, winning is what counts in the long run. I don't necessarily agree, but I don't get to pick the culture of the sport.
