It's not about who he's beating. It's that he just climbed 18km at an average of 6.2W/kg and close to 7W/kg over the final 3 or so miles. He touched 900W at sections in that final run to the summit - to put that in context, if you can maintain 1100W for 5 seconds you are considered a very competent pro sprinter - and that's not after riding close to 100 miles over hills.
The level of cheating here is astronomical.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Do you normally troll under the name sprintgeezer?

These are the record times for the final Couillole climb today and Pogacar smashed them all while still holding back tons, looking relaxed. And Richie Porte wasn't clean either when he set the record time back on Team Sky with the British team "doctors" that liked to use testosterone.

TDF cyclists get daily IV treatments to aid recovery (which is within the rules), Similar to how Mo Farah and NOP took L-carnitine intravenously at x mL/hr. (Or whatever the legal limit is). I doubt athletes watch their doctors mix the drugs and make the IV. Coaches are microdosing athletes intermittently and they have no idea. Helps the athletes keep a clear conscious and remain “innocent”.
Not true. Used to. There is a No Needles policy now. Actually been at least 10 f-ing years. Your been under a rock?
Yeah just like Sir Bradley "no needles" Wiggins and his copious amounts of corticosteroid injections every time he had to do a stage race...

Pogacar was doing 7+ W/kg up the climbs on the final day Tour de France TT and wasn't even giving it full gas since he was showboating during the TT with various hand gestures to the cameras. His FTP based is the highest ever recorded in pro cycling. This is far worse than Lance, at least our Lance knew when to ease back.
"Pogačar – Stage 21 Time Trial Climbs
La Turbie
Time: 16:58
Average Power: 445w (7w/kg)
Col d’Eze
Time: 4:12
Average Power: 500w (7.9w/kg)
After three weeks of incredible racing, Tadej Pogačar won the Tour de France, more than six minutes ahead of Jonas Vingegaard. Remco Evenepoel finished third, over nine minutes down on Pogačar, and those were the only two riders within 19 minutes of the Slovenian.Based on the numbers, Tadej Pogačar has an FTP close to 7w/kg. These are the highest numbers that we’ve ever seen in professional cycling, and what’s even more incredible is that Pogačar is pushing 7w/kg for 40 minutes after four hours of racing. Plus, they’re racing in the heat, and it’s the third week of a Grand Tour. Fatigue doesn’t seem to affect Pogačar, and it’s hard to imagine anyone beating him at his best. He was cruising in the final three stages of this year’s Tour, and he still won them all."
