I just hope he goes for the grand tour clean sweep next time. All 3 in one season, which, let's face it, if he wasn't focused on the triple crown this year, I think he could easily have done it. I can't see anyone doing all what he has achieved this year - ever
I thought he could have won the Vuelta on one leg, but I didn't understand how bad he was after the Tour which he spoke to just recently.
All three may be impossible.
I'm afraid that the 100-kilometer escape has exhausted Pogi so much that it can cost him victory in the fourth consecutive Lombardy. I hope I'm wrong.
Of course, this race also exhausted many of his competitors, but so far there are not many names on the Lombardi start list so far that could surprise
I enjoy them both but please don't compare men's cycling to women's cycling
Too bad he didn't race at the Olympics and a chance to complete a golden quadruple crown (Giro, TDF, Olympics, Worlds).
Still, what an incredible season from Pogacar! I hope he doesn't take it for granted and that he cherishes every win! (Sometimes you lose sight of your achievements when you dominate and win everything...)
Did you see his reactions both coming in to the line, hugging and kissing his fiancée, and on the podium? That was anything but taking it for granted! I don’t think I’ve ever seen him as emotional.
I used to see a "best individual season" ranking by any rider in all of history, but can't find the page again. I think it was on PCS (ProCyclingStats), not UCI's points. Can anyone help with a link to such a page?

- I understand that there are things that are 'lost in translation' on a site like this, which don't necessarily have the budget for things like proofreading that larger publications have. My sense of humour may not be that funny after all, but I do seriously appreciate being able to view articles and and comment on them without having to pay a fee, which is increasingly rare these days..
