An absolutely stunning performance, in the wake of mythical riders like Fausto Coppi. I’m 56, have been a fan of cycling all these years, and I’d never seen anything like this in my life. Excellent summary, by the way - the best to be found on the Internet.

[@guilhermemuquem2466]

Historical performance

[@drewd9985]

Thanks Adam Blythe - Tadej didn't win Tour of Flanders his debut - he put Matthieu van der Poel so deep into the hurt locker on the Paterberg that he was metres from cracking, but Matthieu held on, then Tadej screwed up his positioning/tactics in the final to come 4th. Won it the next year riding everyone off his wheel on the Oude Kwaremont. 50k solo last time in Strade and 80k solo this time. Phenomenal. Wasn't even the team plan to attack at that point in the race.

[@kennykaniff]

In Pogis defence he was a new and young rider then. He's not the same rider nowadays!! So much smarter and nobody knows their limits like Pogi does. He's a beast and so fun and entertaining to watch 💯 Cheers 🤘🏻🇬🇧

Once he got the gap, given his fitness (skip the unsubstantiated claims) big advantage. He was alone, picking his own line, no jostling for position- settle into a good pace and let the rest do the usual " I'm not dragging you along when I chase on" lack of cohesion. Not easy to do , but much simpler going solo. Just sayin'.

P1SS OFF!!! NOB HEAD!!! Either watch cycling or don't. Quite hating. To be honest with you I look at it like this if these guys are doping then it makes a sport that much more incredible and it's not just the top five winning riders that are doping IF they ARE. HALF the peloton is doping if that's the case so they even playing field is in effect. I personally think we see better battles and races and abilities if these guys are doping and I won't make that accusation unless any of them are found guilty of doping!!!
