2024 TDF changed everything. He went up a level and become unbeatable even by the Generational talents like MVDP for flanders and Jonas for TDF and Remco for hilly classics. So now it makes sense to avoid so that they win some important races.07-03-2026 04:48

First he has won no monument or GT. Second he is competing against dominant riders in Pogi, Jonas, Remco , MVDP. Third he is only 19 , he needs to mature and more importantly not crash or acquire the crash curse06-03-2026 10:09

Getting dropped by the 2nd rung of climbers wasn't stubbing a toe. Reality is he is behinf the top 2 but he is the one insisting that he can compete. Hence the criticism , that too only after failure. a GT is 21 days, one bad day and you are defeated and this Pogi also knows all too well.26-02-2026 04:05

Pogi is already in the record books. The 2nd person to win Lombardia 5 times and the only one to win 5 consecutive times25-02-2026 13:45

Baseline of riders: Remco: gets beaten by 2nd rung climbers Vingegaard: May get beaten by the top riders Pogi: Rare defeats. As a result Remco needs significant time to up his level but that level is not close to the other two. Its not a question of hard work but one of potential and he does not have that.25-02-2026 13:41

The next Pogacar or Merkcx will not arrive for the next 25 years. When you treat an outlier of an outlier as a normal this is bound to happen. Low weight, high training volume, high intensity, focused diet means they are going to burn out faster have disorders and discarded when not useful24-02-2026 17:20

Onley, Sexias also same time and lots of others close by. Also only 2.7 km, not translatable to 10-20 km climbs. Not a great result in context24-02-2026 09:05
