Eddy Merckx recently said that Tadej Pogacar may be the best rider ever (although he later changed his mind about that ). Stephen Roche and Bernard Hinault have also been enormously impressed. The old guard is often asked for their opinions on the Slovenian phenomenon.

The article discusses comments made by former Belgian cyclist Roger De Vlaeminck regarding the current state of professional cycling, particularly focusing on Tadej Pogačar's dominance. De Vlaeminck attributes Pogačar's success to a lack of strong competition, suggesting that the field is not as competitive as it once was. He also criticizes contemporary riders like Remco Evenepoel and Mathieu van der Poel, implying that they do not match up to the legends of the past in terms of versatility and endurance. De Vlaeminck's remarks have stirred some controversy, as he seems to lament the evolution of the sport, where specialization has become more prevalent, and riders focus on fewer types of races compared to the all-round capabilities of cyclists from his era.
