Breaking down exactly how Tadej Pogačar dismantled the sport’s top one-day riders on Sunday en route to a stunning victory—one that puts him on track to surpass the sport's all-time greats
Your analysis is the best available but respectfully, ver der Poel crashed and was reportedly ill and yet finished just one minute behind Tadej. They've raced twice in classics this season and each has won once. I don't get the Pogacar one-day dominance conclusion.
Part of winning means staying healthy (not crashing, not getting sick). Pogačar deserves credit for many, many things...including not crashing and not needing antibiotics leading up to an important race!
Totally agree that Spencer goes above-and-beyond with his analysis. I also appreciate there’s room to question his conclusions. Both of you have points. Me, I’m glad I can cheer/watch for both.
