After World Championships win, Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel agree: “Many put Pogacar and Vingegaard on the same level, but that’s not true”

“Tadej Pogacar is a generational talent, he’s in the pantheon of all-time greats. Obviously physically the guy is so

superior and the confidence level so high, he looks like he’s racing a junior race. In my day I wouldn’t attack at a

hundred kilometers even in the under-23’s, it’s a beastly confidence.”

Johan Bruyneel, co-host of ‘The Move’, for his part highlighted the comments of his great rivals after his exhibition

and described what he had achieved as ‘unique’: “In the interviews of the other two favorites, Remco Evenepoel and

Mathieu van der Poel, both agreed that they could not believe what had happened; Evenepoel said it was ‘suicidal’,

they could not believe what they had seen. I think Pogacar’s achievement is the most deserved World Championships

in the history of modern cycling, it’s so unique to see a rider win such different races.

He makes it apparent that he is much ahead of Jonas Vingegaard as a complete cyclist, with only Paris-Roubaix

serving as a true challenge in his career:

“Many people compare Pogacar and Vingegaard, but that is not true; Vingegaard cannot do what Pogacar has done

in the World Championships in a one-day race, and he has already beaten the big specialists in the Tour of Flanders,

Van Aert and Van der Poel, on the cobbles. He just has one more race left, Paris-Roubaix, which I believe he can win as well.
