For The Love Of Cycling · How Tadej Pogačar Dominated Cycling · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

What can you say about the comparison? voice-verified

I mean, I think what Talia Pogacar is now is it's not unprecedented in the sense Eddie Merckx was the same. voice-verified

He had that same passion for racing. voice-verified

He wanted to do the monuments. voice-verified

He wanted to do the Grand Tours. voice-verified

He wanted to win them all. voice-verified

But then the sport evolved over the years since Eddie Merckx. voice-verified

Yeah, and it's interesting that evolution, and I think in every walk of life, evolution generally means specialization. voice-verified

Because in order to excel in one area, basically the levels got so high that you need to just, in order to beat those people, you've got to just target that specialization. voice-verified

We thought generalization was dead in professional cycling because it was thought you had to train your body in a certain way. voice-verified

You had to have a certain psychology to be a grand tour racer. voice-verified

And like I described earlier, it's totally different for one day races. voice-verified

You'll even hear teams. voice-verified

I think when team sky and it's pump, they would say we, all our energy is on grand tours because we can't do one day races as well. voice-verified

Cause that's a completely different thing. voice-verified

Taddy Pogacar's ripped up the rule book and it's set a new precedent that it is possible to do these things. voice-verified

And the fact that he is now in this world of specialization kind of shown that it's possible to do all these things. voice-verified

And this is one of the reasons I think he's so positive for the sport, because generalization is what makes it interesting. voice-verified

If we look on, there's this website called Pro Cycling Stats, which does all this huge data accumulation. voice-verified

And the riders always have their kind of rankings for their abilities, and they do that through all the data collection. voice-verified
