    Mark Cavendish Vs Greipel: What is, and what could've been

    Re: He just seems too heavy for that race. I don't remember him contesting the sprint at all.

    Mark Cavendish Vs Greipel: What is, and what could've been

    I remember "hating" on Greipel during the 08-10 years, thinking that he was just trying to block a better rider, in Cavendish. These days, after watching many races and growing up, and watching Greipel burying himself for teammates, tackling the cobbles, falling and getting back up, being...

    Peter Sagan vs. Mark Cavendish. Who has the best palmares.

    Re: So it's all about number of wins? Sagan best season was 2013? Not the one where he actually won classics, a monument, a green jersey and 3 tour stages, the european title, the world title... All while wearing the rainbow jersey? This season alone surpasses anything Cav did during his career.

    Chris Froome Vs Alberto Contador. Who has the best palmares?

    Those are the best wins listed by PCS. I'm sorry if I missed something relevant. Jesus, some of you wear your hearts in your sleeves. Stop being so fanboyish. Yes, Alberto beat Froome at the Vuelta in 2014. Was that a "normal" season were both prepared for it? No, it was all dependent on how...

    Chris Froome Vs Alberto Contador. Who has the best palmares?

    Re: Even when the guy that won the 3 GTs has never beaten the other at the most, by far, important GT of them all since Froome became a contender in 2011? I feel like dividing this from before and after the ban is relevant. Just look at the results. Also, what about the future?

    Chris Froome Vs Alberto Contador. Who has the best palmares?

    Re: If someone thinks that they are even, they should untie based on what they perceive as their worth as riders.

    Chris Froome Vs Alberto Contador. Who has the best palmares?

    Well, I would like to ask you all 2 things: Who has the best palmares, now? Who will have the best palmares when both finish their careers, and who will be considered the best, strongest rider? Let's get down to facts. Froome, clearly the strongest of the 2 since 2011. 3x Tour 3x Dauphine...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    People. Let me apologize in advance from what I'm about to say. Anyone that even suggests that Froome and Sky are clean should be immediately banned from any public place, the clinic included. We know, for a fact, that's just not possible. If a person suggests that, after everything that has...

    Sagan Clean?

    Sagan is the best cyclist on a peloton dominated by dopers. That has to put him up there. He was also racing for tinkoff, ffs. However, that's it. He isn't more suspicious than any other top rider. Kokoso's irrational hatred comes only from the fact that Sagan is better on any single aspect of...

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Re: I never saw Alberto attacking on the flat/descent as the strongest rider (or even close) in order to win a race, besides that 2012 Vuelta. MOD'S EDIT: Doping reference in the PRR.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Re: Contador never tried to win the Vuelta, that day. Besides that Vuelta against Rodriguez, I don't remember any particular aggressive ride as one of the top3, maybe 4, strongest riders. Contador never did what Froome did this tour, being actually an aggressive...

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Re: Re: I only saw an "aggressive" Contador when he was absolutely outclassed by his rivals. It rarely worked. Froome, on the other hand, was fantastic, this Tour. He attacked more and provided more spectacle than Alberto ever did, at least when he was even a threat for the GC.

    Sagan Clean?

    Re: Re: But that's only because he can crush the wheelsucker that is Stybar on every single terrain, right? Oh, and with style too.

    Il Lombardia 2016, Oct 1st

    Why is this monument taking place on a Saturday with sh*tty coverage? Seriously, we need someone to "buy" cycling and treat these monuments like they deserve. No wonder the vast majority of the best riders aren't here.

    Il Lombardia 2016, Oct 1st

    Re: Re: It might me meaningless if a GT rider wins it, since it is so biased towards GTs. For a classics rider to win it it usually means that he had a freaking awesome season. So there's that. Quintana winning it means nothing more than "the guy who was buried at the tour but managed to win...
