How Pogacar Won the Fastest Giro d'Italia in History

Tadej Pogacar has won the 2024 Giro d'Italia to no one's surprise. Now he will have to prepare for the Tour de France 2024 against Jonas Vingegaard, but first here is the analysis of the Giro 2024, how Pogacar broke records of dopers like Tony Rominger or Eddy Merckx and how he won 6 stages wearing the maglia rosa for 20 days. How Pogacar won clean, without doping, the fastest Giro d'italia in history.

The increase in average speed is interesting when you look back at previous similar jumps. 1983/84 are exceptions given the flat parcours to favour Moser. The next big increase happens with EPO in 1990 and then another with TR and Dr Ferrari in 1995, just around peak Gewiss. There’s a couple of other suspicious jumps along the way but none of them come close to a 41kph average even when we know guys had haematocrit readings of 60% through the mid nineties. Over 2kph faster than Roglic last year or Bernal in 2021?? 2kph extra at 40kph is how many watts? About 40 I would think and maybe 50. Madness.

Remember super boy “Dash” in the Incredibles? At least he tried to look like he was part of the peloton

[@antoinevayer7465]

Excellent

Lets all dope and see who wins hands down then.

[@cyclinghighlights]

The guy with the better doping?

Vingegaard’s favourite one!

[@goodluckchuck3029]

Pogacar should be fine if he doesn't try to poke the bear by upsetting the pharmaceutical companies. God forbid, he started a fund that attempts to treat/cure cancer, we may hear headlines about him in a doping scandal.

[@markdownton3185]

Why bother watching at all if you're going to pour sarcasm and cynicism out afterwards. Pro cycling has always included the use of various performance advantages. Enjoy it for what it is or don't watch.

[@MarkKanaster-ev6pq]

Eddy junior or Lance junior?

[@doktorkraesch3014]

Eddy Junior, Lance didn't chase the Monuments.

[@CFCMahomet]

The race course, with a lack of elevation, played quite a bit into the speed of this race. Not everything is doping.

[@bronzilla5]

3:48, bro they had 19 days of sun

[@landscapeandmonuments1615]

The cleanest athlete on the planet

[@cattycats4]

Charlie Waffles + science fact = winning

[@FaiscaaaH]

It's all about aero bikes and tail winds 😎😎

If you didn't feel the fat ubiquitous irony point of the video you are probably either new to the sport or weren't listening carefully.

[@user-lz4fu8ku3v]

how to make top pros look like amateurs without trying? blood + electro-mechanical doping!

[@izmael_kneafcy]

Cycling commentators be like: “New generation.””Nutrition””The bikes are so much faster.””Carbohydrates”

[@joffly]

Of corse he is tunning! But, what he showed was enough to drop Pantani or Lance, both dropped until the ass!

[@mykofreder1682]

If you are going to credit advancement, the top 10 or 20 should also have the advantage over the 90s or 2000s. If everyone other than the allegedly doped are not that much better than 10/20 years ago, you only have 1 conclusion.

[@mkaleborn]

Dude you kill me! So many great bombs. ‘The Welsh alcoholic’. Geezuz!

[@stefanjoeres7149]

I mean, they did 42k meters of elevation compared to 53k last year, it's not really surprising that it is the fastest edition.

[@totalrepawns]

pro sports are all natty 😉
