- Cyclocross is nothing without stars like MVDP, WVA, Pidcock... etc. Out of all cycling disciplines, road racing is the most popular discipline in professional cycling, especially in terms of global prestige, major-event audiences, and the historical status of its greatest riders. People that don't follow cycling as a sport have heard of Merckx, Hinault, Pantani, Armstrong, Remco, Vingegaard, MvDP, Van Aert, Pogačar etc.
So if we're talking about professional cycling and the sport's most famous athletes, road racing is the clear number one. Road cycling's greatest champions are judged across such a wide scale. E.g. - Pogačar can win the Tour de France and then go after Paris–Roubaix and other prestigious one day races. These races also have a wide range of versatility: cobbles, gravel, punchy, hilly, TT. This versatility is a huge part of why road racing is No.1 in cycling. Maybe Sven Nys is a dutch cycling "legend"... but that's where it starts and ends. Ad acta.

Stop whining and just be better than him bro...
- “at some point those guys will turn their backs on OUR sport”? after dedicating so much of their lives to cyclocross and in mathieu’s case winning more world championships than anyone, it would seem to me like they’ve earned the right for it to be always be THEIR sport, too, even after they retire from it.
- It takes two to tango. Riders also have a say. Maybe they didn't see any opportunities on a stacked team such as Visma's? Who knows, but could be a multitude of reasons why deals fall through.
- Eventually Pogi will get older and slower. Father Time will favor the young. The question is whether he can beat Pogi before Pogi decides to retire. You never know... Pogi may retire after winning paris-roubaix :)
- i think he can continue to race for maybe another 2 years till he drops out of podium contention. With his TT and his follow the leader in the Mountains,he should not need too many teammates too.
- Aren't they still shopping around for a main sponsor for next year?
- How broke is visma now? wtf they cant even fight moviestar and decathlon for riders and lose both their mid targets based on their budget and they cant even get those? Crazy...:/
- TT
But he won by a minute so he could have cut down on some of it
- weight is measurable. power is measurable. So why didn't he prepare that way from the TDF if he wanted to beat Pogi and after Pogi wasn't going to be there, to win.
