Pogačar’s Reign: Cycling’s Shifting Landscape

Even before the classic Il Lombardia, the name of the Tour de France, the world champion and world champion Tadej Pogachar with doping again joined. It is due to his dominance and the way he won at the last races.

Spoiler, there is no sensational revelation.

Only the 61 -year -old matador Karsten Migels embarked on a topic that is otherwise taboo.

Migels has been a commentator and analyst for Eurosport and has been commenting since 1997. He remembers the era of doping scandals and falls of seemingly inviolable stars.

“Uncomfortable viewers associate similar performances with doping. This is the heritage of this sport – but the presumption of innocence is true,” He has now opened the question that is necessarily offered in connection with Tadej Pogacar.

Is it really possible for Pogachar to be a level up to the level than other professionals? He wins one -offs, including the most difficult classics, he had no opponents on the Tour de France, plus his long solo leaks at the World Championship in Rwanda and the European Championship. If he repeats it today to Il Lombardia, the famous Italian race will win the fifth time in a row …

“At every race I remind you that until there is evidence, we must talk about a rider that simply does things different than others,” He has now spoken Migels, who rejects doping accusations, although he acknowledges that there are doubts. Therefore, he also perceives events on social networks and messages of hejtrů, who resemble the seemingly pure Lanka Armstrong, who took care of the largest doping scandal in the history of cycling.

In addition, Pogačar is connected with the controversial character of his team boss Maur Gianetti or the person of Bernard Sainz. As wrote by France24, Pogačar “Riding at a pace that awakens the ghosts of the past”.

“I see it in fans’ discussions. People are amazed but at the same time ask how it is possible. This is the reality that cycling carries,” adds Migels. “Cycling has a long memory. Every extraordinary performance will always be under scrutiny. But sometimes it is necessary to admit that even in our sport the real genius may be born,” He hopes Migels that Pogachar will not bring fans disappointing and keep a spark in cycling, which he thinks she hasn’t had for a long time.

The 27 -year -old Slovenian himself admits that he is reconciled to the fact that because of the past of cycling, people will doubt. “I understand it. But believe me, this is the result of hard work and a team,” He said this year.
