Pogacar is like: who needs a team, I can do it all by myself. |

I saw Chris Froome run up Mount Ventoux and them call GC times at the top of a penultimate climb without telling anyone beforehand. But this is by far the craziest Tour I've ever seen.

Tired of Pogacar to be honest. |

Just have to tip your hat and hope he doesn't do the Vuelta

Why? At least he is super offensive and unpredictable rider |

I wouldn't call winning everything unpredictable 
But the little hopes we had left of seeing a competition for yellow after the TT are gone from the very first mountain stage.
Interesting who will be third in Paris now.

OK, looked great at the start of the stage, but now me might be set for the most boring Tour ever. Would need some cool long-range attacks and no help for UAE for the others to have a chance...
And I really hope that superhuman isn't going to dominate cycling for the next decade, absolutely disgusting for me.

Not a fan of Pogacar either but at least he finally races and attacks full on. Same for Carapaz.
So much better than roglic, thomas and froome.
That said, when you are so head and shoulders above everyone else it seems easy to attack and settle the discussion early on.

That's my point. He could ride with Carapaz and still be cool. |

This is worse than Skytrain. At least with Skytrain there was hope with 6k's to go. |

Offensive, yes, but kinda ruins the fun for an open race, that’s why. |

We can't have all we want 
I prefer this than Skytrain or Jumbotrain or just sit in the saddle and attack 1.5k before summit. |

Oh man guys we had 10 years of trains, I am happy to finally see some panache in the mountains.

Of course it's nicer to have some action in the mountains. But how is it possible that some young guy is by far the best time trialist, and even two or three levels higher than anyone else in the mountains?
Well, at least that's quite some hours saved by not watching the next two weeks.

This is crazy. I really do think its better than the calculated Skytrain way of racing, even if its arguably more ridiculous performance wise.

Can you bet that Pogacar will win the tour 10 times in a row?
