Let's take into account that Pogi didn't fall and bruise his body, and use a fair amount of energy to pull back. Let's take into account that his bike wasn't "injured"...cracked or whatever. If we take all that into account, Pogi would have beaten Pidcock and the peleton for at least 30 seconds. Pogi is even greater than we thought. He is the G.O.A.T. of all G.O.A.T.'s in all sports!!! Pogi haters, eat your heart out!!!Mou-Cro-HR24-03-2026
- Pogi that is not accurate. You are generalising. It depends on the doping method used, If you believe that Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froom doped for instance, both of them were thin weren't they?Cyclingsbestfan24-03-2026

- It started to go wrong for the French cycling doper Erwan Mentheour between Paris and Nice, when race officials tapped him for a random drug test. Just before the 1997 competition, he had taken EPO, an anemia drug that increases the number of red cells in the blood and thus an athlete's endurance. Mentheour's trainer and doctor swung into cover up, desperately trying to thin out his blood before he gave a blood sample. They started an IV drip of chilled glucose. They bled him. But still the bastard tested positive. He was thrown off the racing circuit...but not for long. He claimed that his red count seemed high not because he'd taken EPO but because he had had diarrhea and was dehydrated. Mentheour was back on his bike in two weeks. In fact, his excuses were all a sham for almost as long as he'd been racing. The French doper told NEWSWEEK, he had been taking drugs ("doping'') to improve his performance: "For two years I took EPO, growth hormone, anabolic steroids, testosterone and amphetamine... just about everything. That was part of the job.'' So Erwan Mentheour... shut the fvck up!!! Capish?Mou-Cro-HR24-03-2026
- Pidcock has been great this spring. Consistency has always been the issue. Pidcock could be a real GT contender if he could maintain a good level of form. I'm not sure he wants that though? Maybe we are looking for too much. We should perhaps just enjoy the peaks when the come? It's true as his coach said, he could have won MSR. One small mistake in positioning in the sprint and he lost itCyclingsbestfan24-03-2026
- The fact he crashed isn't such a deal for me, this is more noticeable 👍
leedorney24-03-2026 - Sales of 28mm tyres will on the rise after this news gets out.Cyclingsbestfan24-03-2026
- It is some ones opinion. Yes Pog is the best thing since sliced bread but always nice to get an opinion for doper who never won anything and who was after quick payday. We as a sport have more cheques and balances in place for doping than any other sport and also in this day and age a positive would bring the team down.paultryan200224-03-2026
- There’s no point getting too bent out of shape by articles like this, whatever your viewpoint is, and there’s no line in the sand that indicates at some point everything changed. There has always been ‘cheating’ of some sort since cycling first became a sport, whether that will ever change I don’t know, but scrutiny and questioning will continue regardless.Jezla24-03-2026
