The "at" in goat is for "all time". So you're saying he's the goat, but only of the last decade and a half.I think it will be impossible to really compare across generations. It's quite possible in the modern team environment Mercx may not have thrived, equally without modern team support Tadej may be nowhere.
But in the modern cycling era (by modern I mean post the institutionalised doping era) Pogi is the goat.
