French columnist reacts to Tadej Pogacar's impressive solo: "There are several riders from this generation who reward us with such performances"

The epic performance by Tadej Pogacar on Saturday didn't escape the attention of many, including Cyclism'Actu columnist Marc Fayet. The French analyst comments on Tadej's solo ride as well as ever-present doping speculations in his recent piece.

"Here we go! As soon as the immeasurable feat accomplished by Tadej on Saturday in Siena, an avalanche of comments fell on the man as on his exploit, as on our dreams, as on our hallucination. And yet, what possible evidence is provided on so-called proof of doping? None!"

"However, there are a certain number of riders from this young generation to reward us with these prodigious accelerations, it is enough only to cite Mathieu Van Der Poel on all of his cyclo-cross events this winter, or even in the image of his world championship won two years ago. You just have to see Remco Evenepoel when he decides wherever he is to leave to finish alone as he did in Spain a few days ago 55 km from the finish. It is enough to see Jonas Vingegaard on the Tour de France (And even if it is only there) accelerating in the middle of the pass and inexorably getting rid of his opponents."

"So I only have one thing to hope dear Mathieu, Remco, Tadej and Jonas, continue to escape beyond the possible and if we are given proof that you do not exist, then it is that ultimately all life is just a dream.
