I think you’re the only person saying that.
Most people are asking questions and looking to justify his performance somehow, which is a valid exercise after riding away from the field.
Full power data from the stage would go someway to proving if it was a ‘superhuman’ effort or he’s still operating at close to 100% and the field is fatigued.
snoops-
The ‘superhuman’ output from a rider was a hallmark of when overnight transfusions and heavy in-race EPO use occurred no? Highly unlikely that’s analogous of modern doping.

I'd agree with andyp but I don't want to pollute this thread with arguments about doping allegations. There's little point. There's probably a whole bunch of others that feel similarly. Create a separate TdF 2021 Doping? thread and go teeter on the edge of libel there.
Comparing times up Strava segments is also quite pointless, as others have said the weather might have been different, it might have been a different stage in the race, etc. In previous years challengers might have been riding together in the same group so no need to go full gas. This situation was quite unique, it was a perfect situation for Pog to put the hammer down and gain a shed load of time on his rivals.

As is the "he beat everyone, therefore he's doping" stance.
