Rather a lot of cynicism (to put it politely, which I wouldn't…) about Pogačar's performance on YACF [and elsewhere, natch], led by the usual forum specialist in doping conspiracy theory. The youngster beat Roglič by nine seconds in the national TT, not two minutes, and after a week of mountains in France he was 57 seconds down so couldn't possibly outclimb him. Dumoulin was putting out similar power to his world title TT win, yet lost 1:21 (and Tom D himself has said he'd have to improve 5% to keep up). Ergo, sayeth the man with no access to power data or drug testing results for anyone involved, it stinks. As there exists no way of proving a negative and, unless I'm mistaken, the burden of proof remains with prosecution not defence, I'll have a little more faith in human nature and current testing procedures than the scepticism of online witchfinders…

A bit disappointed that Pogacar did all his speech in English. I think he should have said a few words in French for the French public. I believe his mother is a French teacher so no excuses.
Apart from that, congratulations to him and looking forward to the next one.

Such a great end to the tour! Thrilled to bits for Sam Bennett!
One of my favourite bits of this tour has been the podium gentlemen! I’ve loved seeing how sheepish they’ve looked, especially the gentleman in the polka dot outfit!! Fantastic stuff.

I'm bitterly disappointed he didn't do it all in Slovenian
I've often wondered if the next French winner of the Tour will do his victory speech in French or English but, sadly, I fear I will never find out at my age...

When it does happen, and be patient, he will most certainly do it in French , why should he do it in English ?I've often wondered if the next French winner of the Tour will do his victory speech in French or English but, sadly, I fear I will never find out at my age...

Because said Frenchman might want to address those non-Francophones in the international audience? The bother President Macron gets any time he uses his excellent English is unlikely to be directed at them. Froome addressed the crowd in both languages, Bernal three if I recall correctly, so French and English would be perfectly reasonable…
