- His main problem is his attitude. He was visibly angry when he crossed the line, just ahead the incredible Carapaz.Hills3325-07-2026

- nobody is refusing tests, everybody is asking about the threshold to test between 11 pm to 6am. Strong evidence that will result in a positive test. that is the bar. Why coz disrupting sleep will affect performance badly. It goes against the spirit and rules. I expect Jonas and Pogi to test positiveabstractengineer25-07-2026
- I heard a gossip that Pogi wakes up every morning thinking about: "Who can I give a stage win today? ... He gave it to DelToro, Remco, Carapaz and maybe now it's time for Seixas or Martinez. It's gift-giving time, Christmas bells are ringing early this year :))mus-musculuspeedypogigonzales25-07-2026
- people will do everything to discredit his performances but good for him for showing the haters wrong after everyone saying he'd be dropped first mountain stage and that DT and seixas would destroy himbruins3025-07-2026

- If he could have stayed with Pogačar he could have come around Carapaz. And if he had contributed earlier in the climb it’s possible the trio would have made it to the finish without being caught. As it is, a solid second on a brutal day.RidesHills25-07-2026
- Excuse me but I think Pogy is not the most popular person in Slovenia but is Jan Plestenjak and Janez Janša,Pogy is only in third position, yes firmly but stil third...
