Of racers that I've seen when several Tours de France, most have been around 30 years old. None of them were previously 21,22, and 23 (we know Pogrcar is going to win). This empirical fact has always made me question what Pogacar is doing/taking to be so dominant at such a young age compared to anyone else. Ever since Pogacar beat Roglic massively in his first TdF, I"ve had doubts that Tadej is relying upon natural ability only. My impression is that young pros have to spend several years to build up to where they win a grand tour. What do you think?

I couldn't edit my initial post. It should read "win," not "when."
