  My thinking is that Pog's experience and strength would have outweighed any fatigue in Il Lombardia. But the sad thing is, we'll never see peak Pog (call it Pog 2) go head to head with Seixas. However well he recovers from his crash, he'll return as Pog 3, with the shadow of severe concussion always there.

  Some speculation and opinion. Had Tadej not crashed out of the Vuelta he would have been less fresh and I'm not sure he would have beaten Seixas in this race. Maybe he would have been able to contest the race in a sprint and maybe not. Believe me when I say I keep up with many of Tadej's climbing feats and records and I understand how great he is but the Paul we just saw at Il Lombardia was not that far behind Tadej.

  Firstly, someone who says parenting is babysitting is delusional and shouldn't be taken seriously. Secondly, with pro athletes it is not the same as a normal worker. They are being rewarded for doing something for which they have a talent which doesn't actually help people (besides inspiration). It's quite a different dynamic

  only way for him to effectively learn to microdose is to go to uae. other than that there is no reason for him to go to uae.

  that was a great win, and quite a surprise at the time. That was a loaded field, and he held of Valverde for the win. Still shocking that Valverde never won Lombardia. He seemed perfect for it. Mollema just went to work every day.

  I hope he races Volta a Majorca. We'll really be able to see if he can do one-day-races (but do they count?)

  Seixas best chance is obviously UAE. They are the best team in history of the sport and they developed pogacar into the goat. They also developed Del Toro to be nr 2 in world. Seixas would become unstoppable at UAE. Lets see if Seixas stays at decathlon but if UAE comes knocking its impossible to say no. Barcelone and real madrid combined into one team, thats UAE in cycling it feels like..

  I think he does or goes to whichever team gives him the scope to become the rider everyone thinks he'll be when Tadej stops.. that simple

  I remember at one time he was mentioned in the same breath as Seixas. no more. Onley has a lot of work to do to be deserving of that.
