  It would be a perfect match - psycho rider on psycho team.

  Show us on this doll where Pog touched you.

  i think he has got his head on straight. But still the tour is no place for riders who want stages in the mountains. UAE and Visma are going to go hammer and tongs

  I don’t think he’d beat a crashless Rogliç and he’d probably have a tough time with some youngsters too

  My assumption is that right now, the ability to train your body to take in huge amounts of perfectly legal fructose/glucose mixes, while doing the high altitude training that creates naturally what they used to do illegally, mixed with the unbelievably data driven analysis of output and recovery, means that we are seeing legal ways to drive performance in the human body beyond what doping once provided. After all, people now react to Merckx’s doping as “yeah, but those methods weren’t really effective,” but it was still doping. I honestly think that what is legal now outperforms the typical illegal cases of the past. I also see how some riders don’t want to be that kind of automaton, so tightly controlled in comparison to the past.

  Funny how all it takes for two mediatised people in the same domain to be compared is a shared passport when they may have nothing else in common. Just shows how “deeply” people reflect.

  Timewise the difference in the Tour is almost always less than 0.1%

  The wheels keep turning and the fans keep cheering Pogacar doped to the gills…

  So sad. "Don't compare me to Pogačar". That's exactly what the pundits will do. I'm excited for the Tour de L'Avenir

  There is SOME truth to it though, if you consider an amateur can ride over 90km in one hour on an aerodynamically optimised « bike » you cannot ignore that improvement will happen in many domains of the bike and posture(comfort). If you consider development in eg swimming or running, everything stays pretty parallel, we’re still cycling at only twice running speeds. Of course, nobody is going to be surprised that doping still occurs but I think the gains afforded by it these days are much smaller than expected, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were using stuff more effective for things like fast recovery and consistency at peak level. What’s more, riders are probably picked vased on their malleability to just swallow whatever they’re given and not ask questions, it seems plausible that tvere are ridees, maybe even Pog naive enough to think they’re not taking anything but that someone in the team is in charge of their « intake », feeding them exactly what they need when they need without it being noticed.
