- Pity jv can’t defend his red jersey this year - but, winning the Giro is still a decent season?
- Armstrong may be right about one thing: the real debate isn't whether Pogačar is the most dominant athlete in the world—it’s whether anyone in cycling has a realistic path to beating him anymore. After this Tour, I don’t see Jonas Vingegaard closing the gap unless something fundamentally changes, and I don’t see anyone consistently challenging Pogačar for years if he stays healthy. The next rider who beats him may not simply be the next great talent; it may be the rider willing to think differently about the entire game. Imagine Paul Seixas choosing legacy over the biggest contract and joining a team like EF that is willing to build a completely creative project around one mission: finding a way to defeat Pogačar. Sometimes history is not made by the rider with the biggest salary—it is made by the rider who is willing to sacrifice comfort, challenge the impossible, and become the one who ended the greatest era of dominance cycling has ever seen.
- While there is no doubt that Pogi is one of the best riders ever and currently the best second to none, i do not think it makes sense to compare him to to previous stars where bikes had weight of 2-3 fold modern bike weight and technology and food was inferior.
- After this Tour, I don't see Jonas Vingegaard closing the gap unless something fundamentally changes, and I honestly don't see anyone consistently challenging Pogačar for the next several years if he stays healthy. The only wildcard I can imagine is a generational talent like Paul Seixas deciding that legacy matters more than chasing the biggest contract—joining a team willing to build an entire, creative project around one mission: beating Pogačar. Imagine a team like EF creating unconventional tactics, giving him complete freedom, and making everything about ending this era of dominance. Sometimes the greatest legacy isn't earning the most money—it's being remembered as the rider who dared to take a different path and became the one who finally dethroned the sport's seemingly unbeatable champion.
- No he did not his so called victories has been stripped due to doping. He became stinking rictch by cheating. He is a felon like Trump and a disgrace to the US and cycling . Fortunately other US riders do well without cheating also in this tour - feel sorry for Sep Kuss, if the henge had been 2 meter shorter he most likely would be dead.
- I would take quality over quantity any day. Tadej's winning percentage would be more than Eddy's. Tadej does not need to race more as he's paid handsomely unlike Eddy who had to keep racing to make a living.
- Julian Alaphilippe is past his prime. I don't think anyone was expecting much from him and therefore omitted from the list.
- To even it out for France, why not include Julian Alaphillipe in the disappointment list? Everytime he tried a move, it never went through... sad to see, he was such a crowd favourite but this year he never managed to show it!
- Anybody?
- I suppose the money for the win would be nice. Being gifted the stage though is nothing to be proud of in my opinion. If Del Toro was on his knees at times. If he had not been nursed by Pogacar and left to do his own race, Seixas would have won the white jersey.
