While Pogi has 5 wins and 2 second place finishes in the TDF everyone forgets he won 3 stages in the 2019 Vuelta and finished third on the podium. Thats 8 podiums in 8 grand Tours.
Oh how we forget The Sheriff so quickly…and I don't want to hear about doping. Everyone did (and still does) it. The records are still there and on everyone's minds. 98 days in yellow, 7 TdF wins.
Voldemort rules supreme.
Pog rewrote the book of cycling itself. Races like MSR and Flanders are raced now in a totally different manner and using totally different tactics. Massive influence over the entire sport
Pogi is at peak or will reach peak soon and has at least 2-3 more years of winning
This was the Classiest Tour I have ever seen…Chapeau🫡
Changed all of cycling……..Okay, I'm sure Red Bull Hardline is a Pog free zone – that's still cycling, is it not?
When Pog did the Triple and won 2 Monuments in the same year, he surpassed EVERY cyclist in the history of the sport. That was the moment Pog became the GOAT.
Drugs and more drugs
"I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles" words I will never forget.
Still has to beat Eddy Merck and Lance Armstrong (everyone was doping, and who cares anyway? That’s a Big Health care policy that is only in place for the sake of greed anyway).
5:58 Not likely mate!
3 more years tadej will still be the king, I think he can go for 8 tour de France title.
