  Pogi is already in the record books. The 2nd person to win Lombardia 5 times and the only one to win 5 consecutive times

  Baseline of riders: Remco: gets beaten by 2nd rung climbers Vingegaard: May get beaten by the top riders Pogi: Rare defeats. As a result Remco needs significant time to up his level but that level is not close to the other two. Its not a question of hard work but one of potential and he does not have that.

  The early wins in Spain showed the engine is running smoothly for Remco???... I disagree. The early wins in Spain showed nothing. Winning second and third class races shows nothing. His first real test was the UAE Tour and he failed...just like he failed many times last year. Del Toro demolished him...so will Seixas and Ayuso. We don't need Pogi anymore...the young "bulls" are just about enough for Remco. Pogi is in his own league.

  Oops, my bad, I thought he wasn't riding the TDF this year. So he's attempting the Giro-TDF double? Brave decision. We'll have to see how that one pans out. Not sure it's the best preparation for the Tour, if he has genuine ambitions for the win, but good luck to him. A bit daft to say his palmares would be better if he hadn't competed against Pog, of course it would, but you could say the same for the unfortunate rivals of Merckx, Hinault and Indurain. Having said that, his legacy will still be up there with the best when he decides to call it a day. I definitely don't want to give the impression that I don't admire his performances. By the way, who is disrespecting Vini? Most cycling fans are now paying for the privilege of watching professional racing, so we want to see the best competing with the best. I think this also gives us license to comment on the performance of these outstanding and highly paid superstars. I get that some people are sensitive, but as a rider, you can either let negative comments control your emotions like a puppet master, or you can use them to fuel your response and prove people wrong. Don't forget that Pogacar and MVDP have their critics as well, but they still keep winning.

  Groenewegen's wheels are the most rounded, Fretin's slightly more distorted, Girmay's next and Moschetti's is the most distorted. It's obviously to do with proximity to the camera. All photo finish images look like this because otherwise the riders closer to the camera will appear further in front.

  On the matter of winning all 3 GTs, Jonas would certainly move ahead of Tadej on the list of greats. Jonas would be the 8th rider to join the Triple Grand Tour club, and Pogačar would not be part of it (yet). Pogačar might go to La Vuelta and win or he might be too tired or both.

  You are right on that point and yet you don’t notice his back wheel is naturally round as opposed to the rider at the front who not only has distorted oval wheels but also a distorted hunchback. Obviously the camera distorts different distances differently and so what we see isn’t representative of the moment. I assume and hope the technical staff know how to interpret everything perfectly like radiologist staff at hospitals can see what seems like a mess to us. The finish line is obviously defined even if maybe artificially highlighted but an obvious question for me to them to clarify how it all works would be, if you « undistort » the front riders image does that stretch his front wheel over the line?

  With or without a moped?

  You noticed the words « I think »??? So already definitely not a lie. I’d be interested to interview you on a range of subjects to see how you hold up with answers that others would dissect in any way they would see fit for their agendas. Do I need to explain the rest to you in more detail too or are you now recharged for rethinking it all through HIS perspective as opposed to yours, after all, that id the position he is speaking from, regardless of your opinion of him.
