- Slowly, very slowly...
5-7 yrs.

- Up to this point: "It is just not yet at the level of Vingegaard and Pogacar."
First Jonas, and then level of Tadej.
Period!
- The sport has long had a divide between the more diesel-like riders and the more explosive riders. Where does Pogačar fit? His explosive attacks are followed by a high speed diesel climb and he's rarely been caught in the past 5 years (people can name the moments, it's so rare). Seixas is young and we have no idea where his body will end up on this spectrum (just like we didn't with Pogačar when he was 20 and being a diesel up the Vuelta mountains of 2019). Speculation is fun, being a fan while it unfolds is going to be more fun.
- yeah it'll be an epoch shift when Pog can't drop people, and/or when they start dropping him.
- Yes, he won't ride away yet, but he will and that day will be notable
- Expect the young French rider to slowly asphyxiate the Slovenian into retirement.
- 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.
