The difference from a Giro with Pogačar to another with Roglič. The design of the stage was magnificent, from km 10 to the finish line it was cycling poetry. The fans, except for a couple of reckless ones...wonderful. The fan service to nostalgia with Nairo in second and Nibali on the podium with Pogačar in ten. Seeing the Slovenian on the last ramps at less than 20 km per hour shows that no one is superior to nature...and that the summit was changed...Beautiful stage!

[@shepshape2585]

This stage was over before it began. There is nobody in this peloton capable of hanging with Pog. The only riders who could challenge him are home training and/or healing. Let's hope the Tour is more interesting.

Let's us forget Voldemort of cycling 🙏😱

[@BrianWelch-ks9ms]

There are a handful of riders at Pog's level. They're all young and have had the benefit of growing up in a post-Armstrong era where the focus is on improved training and health regimens, along with the use of modern technology to turn racing into an exact science. Sky started the trend and other teams have perfected it over the last ten years.

[@BrianWelch-ks9ms]

To the doubters. Race organizers don't like the result of a three-week grand tour event being decided before the third week even starts. They want competition and rivalry to bring in the views and the advertising $$$. If they could bust Pog and open up the field they absolutely would. That they haven't done so-ever-shows that he is as clean as they are able to (or allowed to) test for. Top teams like Ineos, Visma, and UAE (like Sky before them) have the budget to obtain and develop the same supplements, technology, and other advantages for their riders. If anyone stands out among the top riders it's a result of skill and ability, not any special enhancements they have that the others do not. The top GC riders of the past decade have been on equal footing when it comes to anything other than their own innate talent. The domination of Rog, Ving, and Pog over the past few years is not because they are doping and everyone else is clean. So relax and enjoy the show. There's no need to look for clouds on a sunny day.

[@Karollenart]

I just cannot believe that one guy can be so much better than all of the pros. This is very suspect (although I really like Pogi...). Quintana at some point was crazy strong, and it turned out that he was doping at his peak. Lopez was strong when he was fighting with Roglic at Vuela, in 2020 or something, and it turned out that he doped... I am sure there are other recent cases of doping, which I dont know. Let's dont focus on Armstrong that much. Dopping happens currently. Just read some info. I am worried when I see such performances like today's...

[@stammeh22]

I think it's fairly obvious that he's doping. Last person that was this far ahead of everyone else was Lance Armstrong and he was doping his ass off. Pogacar is definitely doping and I think there's absolutely no doubt about it.
