Difficult to compare. Out with Covid before the Tour, not been selected for any GT as lead (as per his own wishes) and not exactly the same crazy dose of talent Pogi has.
The question is, why has he been so disappointing this season? The case for the prosecution is that riding three GTs in a year at the sharp end is too much and significantly impacts an athlete’s ability to perform the following year.
I completely understand your point, yet I believe Pogi is something else. He's the only one that can do it as far as I can see and this year it's his perfect chance.
