Despite just winning the Giro d’Italia, Tadej Pogačar still managed to win his THIRD Tour de France victory at the age of 25. He won 6 stages at the Giro and 6 stages at the 2024 Tour de France. Pogačar has completed the amazing feat of winning two back-to-back Grand Tours…but is his dominance bad for cycling? I asked Tour de France Stage Winner Juan Antonio Flecha this and more.

Is Pogačar's dominance good or bad for cycling? Let us know what you think 🤔
👏🏽
I consider that pogacar is very good for cycling not for his individual level but for the media impact that he generates but also as he can be winning all year at a high level he generates that his rivals of renown those who can really beat him by level have to be at 200% physically and mentally to be able to beat pogacar in the big races like vingegaard in the grand tours , remco , van der poel , van aert in the classics.And joans vingegaard deserves more respect than he has at the moment, let's not forget that he is the only rider in the world who can beat pogacar in grand tours. Obviously he didn't win the tour this year but his tour de france is a real feat to finish 2nd in the Tour de France, the most fiercely contested race in the world, when 3 months ago you were in hospital. And in such a short time to come back and be the one who has been the closest to pogacar, also winning a stage and the way he won it is a huge merit. And I have no doubt that Jonas in 2025 will come back stronger than ever to try to win the tour again.
In every Generation there will be an athlete that will be well above everyone. Tadej is our Athlete, what is funny none of this criticism happened last year when Visma dominated all of cycling last year.
Pogi is great for cycling and as a fan and cyclist I am enjoying this. We will never see this dominance not for a long time after he is gone
Plus Pogi is colecting money for his team as well, don't forget this!
