  I don't understand the hatred shown towards him. He seems like a decent guy, he is very popular in the peloton, his teammates love him. yes he gets heated during competition, but he is trying to win. and he has big goals for himself, which I respect him setting. people disliked him even before he started talking about his religion - which is also good for him, let him practice the faith he wants - people show irrational hatred towards him.

  Active discussion around a rider in cycling circles is in no way an indicator of any upcoming fever. A French fever has every village apero and bbq discussing performance odds and this is not happening, most people still have no idea he exists, he’s hardly had airtime mainstream wise and NONE of this is likely to change unless he lines up for the Tour. Itzulia doesn’t register on mainstream news.

  Can't put Almeida on the same level as Vingo. If Jonas shows up in his usual form, stays healthy and doesn't crash then he wins comfortably. Almeida will in all likelihood be the best of the rest.Hopefully his team actually supports him rather than riding for their own chances.

  Pogi used to have the odd bad day/off day. That seems like history. Two separate bad days cost him two TdFs

  Interesting... solo from an attack before? He has the endurance to win but not the w/kg. Attacking on the penultimate climb and using his massive engine to hold off the peloton on the flat that follows to reach the Mur alone might be his best shot

  I see a surprise from Romeo.

  So much to unpack, he doesn't like Pogacar so he is dumb and is maga. I bet since is son of Columbia immigrants and speaks a few languages he is anything... This isn't an attack but perhaps a digital detox.

  It's races like these which define why they hired Cosnefroy. Let's see how he does!

  In 4 races this year, Pogačar has won 3 and been second in the other one. His lifetime win rate (with grand tours included) is 28% of his races (did some math with procyclingstats). It's not that people are beginning to beat him, folks, it's that beating him is so rare (at times) that people show surprise. He lost Amstel last year. He lost to Narvaez at the Giro (and his response was even more forceful domination). He has always lost close races here or there. There's nothing new here, is there? I would love to see Seixas and Evenepoel reach the level of van der Poel in terms of competition, but I have a selfish reason for it. Pogačar losing means he hangs around to win again, the next time. I don't want the guy getting bored!
