He shone really well in 1 tour and he's incredible as a super domestique. Goes better when not riding with MvdP in the pack

Some people are more precocious than others... And some riders have to work hard as domestique instead others are captains.

Almeida is doing great this year but Ten Dam should go back to earth - Remco is way above him - just look at the palmares

Just as all of those things that you have mentioned have evolved, so have advances in medicine and pharmaceuticals. Everything that pro riders do now is highly advanced, and that includes their doping practices.

You can compare Omrzel to his own rivals, but not to Pogačar

I think of these comparisons between riders as being one of the most cruel things in cycling. It's what has meant that no French cyclist has won the Grand Boucle since Bernard Hinault (correct me if I'm wrong). It's what made it so cruel for Wout van Aert, when he was struggling and Van der Poel was doing so well. To compare such a young rider like Omrzel to Pogačar is what could be the end of his career, I'm serious. That being said, I can't say I don't want to see a repeat of the 2020 Tour de France, with Pogačar finally feeling what Roglič felt.

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

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
