- 7 years into their pro careers, Merckx and Pogačar are tied with 10 monuments, 2 world championships, and 5 grand tours.
In years 8 to 10, Merckx won 5 more Monuments and 6 more grand tours. In year 8, Pogačar could well end up with 4 monuments, a world championship, and another grand tour. How he does these next 3 years will allow for a better numerical comparison with Merckx, in other words. But we still have to wait for his full career to unfold before we make a true comparison.
- For all the top riders, managing their athletic time is an essential part of their training. There have been plenty of articles written about Pogačar's time off the bike, same with van der Poel. Vingegaard focuses on his family time so much that he gets critique like you just gave Evenepoel. The reality is that bodies need rest, they need time to recover, and there's nothing wrong with an athlete being honest about it.

- It is really crazy how much the motorbikes help. Between favourites it's usually not too bad, but the other riders are worst affected.
It may have been possible for the chasers to catch Pogačar and van Aert without the motorbikes, but due to the presence of van der Poel they got their share too.
- You're earning 6 million euros a year and you have an average of 10 years of high-level performance; your focus should be almost entirely on that. Or you could change careers and find a 30-hour-a-week job.
- Yes, we don’t know when but he confirmed it on his Instagram, mid last year from what I remember.
- Acta non verba, darling. Less filing, more doing.
- This is where you're wrong... Pogi is already the G.O.A.T. ... AD ACTA!!!
- "we share a common religion (Islam, ed.). " has he converted to Islam?
- Interesting that you respond this way to my post, which specifically says "we'll never know," but not to the one above, which says MVDP would have won. Sorry if I hit your tender spot.
