It's a comparison that risks getting people talking but which shows to what extent Tadej Pogaca impresses in the Cycling world. The Spaniard Pedro Delgado Robledo, winner of the 1988 Tour de France, praised the Slovenian rider in an interview published this Wednesday, November 20 by the Iberian newspaper Diario de Valladolid. “Perico” did not hesitate to compare the Slovenian to Eddy Merckx and he had strong words to evoke the domination of the three-time winner of the Tour de France. The Spaniard did not fail to make a comparison with the Belgian legend Eddy Merckx, five-time winner of the Grande Boucle in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1974, by assuring that Pogi's reign is a dictatorship.
Robledo praises Pogacar in his own way
“His reign is a dictatorship. It's so good. It's a miracle. It's another Eddy Merckx. No one doubts its quality. Evenepoel, as good as he is, appears as an apprentice at his side. He has the values of a winner and he also has that mentality. It's a true miracle. I don't know how long his dominance will last, not because of his conditions, but because he gets used to winning. A detachment may occur, but I have no doubt he will dominate cycling for the next five years“, confided the man who also won the Vuelta in 1985 and 1989. Suffice to say that Pogacar continues to impress and it seems far from over.
