  And let's not forget, Tadej Pogačar won his first Tour de France eating pizza, drinking beer and playing Playstation. This kept goinig on for another two years and when he lost the Tour 2X to Jonas, things dramaticaly changed. Today Pogi is a "killing machine." In 2024, in the Tours rest day, Pogi said: "If I compare the year 2019 to what we're doing today, we were real amatuers." ... That is the difference between Pogi and Seixas. Seixas immediately got professional help and advice, he knows exactly what he wants and is already at a very high level. So, the paths of Pogi and Seixas weren't the same.

  Paul Seixas took off from the WC to Lombardia - smart move it seems. Although Remco at least got the Euro jersey.

  Why on EARTH would a rider capable of leading races, leading an entire squad in any race he wishes to go and be (yet another) second fiddle rider to his main competition? Especially when his career is in the ascendant, holding the hope of a nation. You want to be the best - then you want to race against the best. I wish UAE as a team all the best for the most part, but I really dislike their approach of removing any barriers to their golden goose by warehousing them on their squad until they get sufficiently bored and/or pissed off and leave.

  the manner of victory is not Pogi since 2024, Pogi is 50+ k attack, this was last hill/mountain attack, the std attack.

  Yea 'won' is loosely used here in my comment.

  I'm betting PogiFanBoy has many candles he lights on his Pogi shrine every night! Not sure how much room there'd be for Seixas candles.

  If it would shut you up for a season I'm all for anything to make that happen!

  And you have a reason for this claim of 3/4? You know this for a fact? Or it is your ego once again making assumptions? As usual, so much ego about this tiny little comments section, so little insight about the actual cycling

  I disagree with these experts, because the comparison isn't valid yet. Seixas is exciting as hell to watch, but so was Pogačar at this stage in his career. Seixas just finished his second season, and to me, it's not about age, it's about season, so the age of 20 isn't the important thing. All his 8 wins are in this second season, with the Itzulia Basque Country GC plus La Flêche Wallonne and Il Lombardia, and his second places to Pogačar are notable. In comparison, though, Pogačar was set up as a GC rider in his first two seasons, and won the Volta ao Algarve and Amgen California tours in his first year (8 wins), plus the aggressive podium at the Vuelta that announced him as the climber he was, before winning the Volta a la Communitat Valencia and the Tour de France in his second year (another 9 wins). That he has ended up as the dominant monuments winner of his era (better than van der Poel?! my god) was nobody's prediction, but had Alaphilippe's move not disrupted the entire sprint at the delayed Liége race that year, who knows what we might have noticed a little earlier. Point being, their first two seasons on the world tour don't align with each other perfectly, and Pogačar's statistics are better. This should be no surprise. Pogačar has one main rival during classics season, and nobody ever mentions the other, and then the other rival during grand tour season, when everyone forgets the first (van der Poel and Vingegaard, obviously). Will Seixas compete with him equally in both classics and tours, in future years? The cycling fan in me hopes so! Right now, the show is amazing, better when they are on the same circuit, and Seixas is still young. A hand off across the generations will happen someday, to someone. But, I am pretty sure Pogačar would have ended up with the Vuelta, Worlds, and Lombardia had he not crashed at the Vuelta, but he crashed, and such is life, and maybe he returns in full force and maybe not. That's cycling, either way. It's fabulous to have the show, that's for sure.
