As Tadej Pogačar rewrites the record books with ease, I find myself both awed and exhausted. Loving the sport means loving the fight, but what if no one can touch him?
Beautifully written - and right on point! The excitement I always feel for the classics was missing big time this year. When every race with Tadej feeling like a foregone conclusion, I found it hard to stay interested. I'll gladly take tension, tactics, and surprises over dominance any day.
I feel this deeply. I find myself rooting against Tadej in every single race just because I want to be surprised. I want things to shake up. I want the tension. Otherwise it is so very very boring.
Amazing writing. So eloquently expressed - I love the point about looking elsewhere for our excitement, women's cycling (and other disciplines too) has a huge opportunity to gain a new audience by those feeling this fatigue.
