Perfect for winning 10 green jerseys in the Tour as well. But first he has to win one.

Very good! Did i also just totally overlook the Grande Paul Magnier and the Paul Seixas threads until now?

10 wins in his debut season and the boy doesnt even have his OWN thread yet?

Guy reminds me so much of Sagan

Ouch it hurt a bit to watch that. Too bad for Cian that he couldnt keep this up.

I think Torres should not be discounted. He did an insane amount of WT racing before the Abruzzo/Hungary combination. He crashed very heavily in Hungary and has been aiming for Avenir ever since. Just recently returned from altitude camp with some of the other UAE hotshots. I would put Seixas...

In the case of Noval that is quite easy to answer

He hardly has any opponents because he is so much better than the rest. He just dominated the tour while being sick himself.

I think he has the palmares. And what he definitely has is the domination he has shown during his active years during an era where the sport was not fully mondial but at least way more mondial than during the era’s of most riders mentioned above him. You just cant value a Lombardia win in...

Any list that does not have Pogacar sitting on either one or two right now doesnt make any sense at all.

Yeah I thought Ardila would become great, but with his knee it just never came to be. That Giro he was magnificent, I still remember how awed I was by his performances. But he won a big race yesterday. ;)

To be honest Jayco never really gave him much of a chance. They treated him really poorly and his Development has suffered a lot as a result. Pena is a WT calibre rider. I was hoping that a team like Astana or Picnic would pick him up at the start of the year and i still hope that a team goes...

Dont really think so, hé looked fine. However the second group came with much more pace and he was not able to find the space to move up after that.

I think of you come from a situation where Cian has been for these past 1,5 years it will help your confidence a lot even if you win on a lower level.

There is a reason not to send him. The goal this year was to learn to win in the pro peloton. He is not going to do that in the Vuelta with this build-up not even when they have full confidence they fixed the issue. So better for him to go to races like Ain, Czech, Slovaquie and then the...
