Why did I stop speaking after Pogačar’s Tourmalet performance?
Because no matter what I or anyone else posted about him or that stage, everything came to one thing… doping. Every single comment section about him is still flooded with people who are convinced they have discovered everything, know everything, and I am just blind, naive, childish, or whatever they think of.
For me, the reality is simple… There is zero credible evidence suggesting that Pogačar or any of the other 5 riders who broke the Tourmalet record are not clean, while there is plenty of evidence that they are.
And I just don’t want that kind of constant negativity on my page or in my life, and I know you can’t fight with these people, because they always have their truth. If you want to watch the Tour de France believing in that negativity, that’s your choice. I’ll be on the other side, enjoying the race I’ve been waiting for all year and being happy with it.
