People complain about "boredom" due to the superiority of Pogačar. It is not his fault that the other teams have other figures who have planned to take care of them so that they participate in the Tour. I prefer the spectacle of the Slovenian to the Sleepy Giros of Roglič-Geraint, Hindley-Carapaz and Bernal-Caruso where the spectacular route overwhelmed the cyclists. The best has always been the hobby and the landscapes. That is undebatable.
In the 1914 Giro, Alfonso Calzolari surpassed Pierino, both Italians, by 1h 57'26", we are not going to ask that of Pogačar because the sport has become professional. But he has two stages left to surpass Ivan Basso's record in this century ( CSC) of 2006 when he surpassed the Spanish José Henrique Gutiérrez (Phonak) by 9'18" and Gilberto Simoni (2 Giros and a stage in the Tour and Vuelta) with 11'59".
If we think that this does not happen in the Tour de France, last year we saw how Vingegaard surpassed Pogačar by 7'29" and Adam Yates by 10'56". Becoming the second largest difference of the century. Only surpassed by Vincenzo Nibali's triumph in 2014 where he surpassed Jean Christophe Péraud by 7'37" and Thibaut Pinot by 8'15".
Many quickly forget that the Tour had 4 stages left over when the Dane finished it off. And in the 2023 Vuelta a España itself at Angliru, thanks to social networks, the press and fans who have never seen cycling, they put an end to the competition when, through a statement from Visma, they gave the victory to Sepp Kuss. Again 4 stages that were left over.
To enjoy the superiority, the landscapes and the fans...there is no other choice. Cycling lovers there will continue to watch the sprint stages, see if the breakaways arrive or with the hope that something epic will happen like the 2018 Giro where Froome, Domoulin, Pinot (abandoned in the last stage due to a knee injury), Miguel Ángel López and Simón Yates gave us a great show. Also those of Nibali-Chávez or Nairo-Urán that are fresh in memory. Nor are the few differences synonymous with spectacle, the 2023 Giro where Roglič defeated Geraint by 14" is the eighth smallest difference in the history of the GV and no one remembers it as epic. I remember the Slovenian fans as the best of the time trial final climb. The smallest difference in the Giro has been between Florenzo Magni and Ezio Cecchi in 1948 with 11". Many mention the 1989 Tour where Greg LeMond defeated Fignon by 8". But GV's record is in the 1984 Vuelta a España where Èric Caritoux beat the Spaniard Alberto Fernández by 6"

Mr Flo bikes you are prolific man! Greatest respect and travel diary to die for! You have an knowledgable and insightful and friendly way of connecting with the athletes that most journalists lack. They seem to know you wel adn respect your style and therefore say more for you. many journalists say something pointed to get a rise and often put athletes on the defensive with a mic stuck in their face after a a half sentence! chapeau gregor!
