While Pogačar’s dominance in Grand Tours is undeniable, the Ardennes classics are a different beast. These races demand specific skills like cobbled roads and sustained attacks over long distances. Other riders like Alejandro Valverde or Wout van Aert have proven their mettle in these conditions. The idea that Pogačar will single-handedly dominate Liège-Bastogne-Liège overlooks the unique challenges of this race and the potential for upsets.

Pogačar's team might face internal conflicts if they focus too much on one rider, neglecting other talented cyclists.

The future of Liège-Bastogne-Liège hinges on whether Pogačar can maintain his dominance without stifling other competitors. If he continues to dominate, it will likely lead to a surge in popularity for cycling but also raise concerns about fairness and competition. The question is not if Pogačar will win, but how the sport will adapt to his reign.

Human tribalism will split this vote sharply. Fans of Pogačar will cheer his dominance as a sign of greatness, while others will see it as an unfair monopoly on cycling’s most prestigious races. The debate will rage on social media and forums, with each side fiercely defending their stance.
