Would Tadej Pogacar Win the Women's Tour de France?

Recent analysis comparing Tadej Pogacar to women's cycling champion Marlen Reusser suggests biological differences would prevent the Slovenian star from winning the women's Tour de France.

A comparison between the women's Swiss Tour and Tadej Pogacar's performance highlights a 10% difference in power, roughly three minutes. This gap stems from biological factors including muscle mass, hemoglobin levels, and hormonal fluctuations. If Pogacar were female, he would likely generate 120-130 watts less power due to physiological differences. Consequently, he would probably struggle to beat Marlen Reusser, the current women's Tour de France leader, in a women's race. cricket-info.homes
