Who’s he beating; Contador, Evans, or Cobo (Froome)?

Since this thread is so random. Take him out of 2000-2005, no he couldn’t. If he has all the upgrades in everything maybe he does. Heck maybe he wins.

Why do you think that? I don’t really remember any issues between the two of them.

Pidcock then would have thrown away second or better by gambling. WVA had a teammate that could help him in the finish who has a good sprint themselves.

Oh they definitely could, especially with Gerrans and Valverde working for a sprint. Though maybe they’d attack more since WVA and MVDP faster.

I don’t disagree on that but Gilbert is still the only one (that I know) since 2000s and definitely 2010s that had top 10’d every monument with a chance to win them all until MVDP and Pogacar. Then MVDP needs a lot of luck to go his way to win 2 of those. Not even factoring in Pogacar’s GC ability.

Pogacar has raced 22 monuments top 10 all but 2, MVDP raced 24 and top 10 all but 1. Pogacar has beat MVDP 9 times (2LBL 0 GdL), MVDP beat Pogacar 5 times.

Is he overrated or are you just severely underrating him due to the hype around his 2011 season? Gilbert still won all of those monuments when others didn’t. He performed in those races. Gilbert also finished top 10 in LBL and GDL the same amount of times as Purito, 1 more time in LBL than...

40% of the time Pog’s lost to Vingegaard but to a rider from Visma 33.33%.

That’s where it stinks we don’t have coverage like today (when it works) to see what transpired.

Gilbert won Paris Roubaix Valverde top 10’d Flanders and could have done it more times if he raced. Gilbert was also the closest to competing in them all in the same year without Pogacar’s dominance.

From Wiki and needs more citations, I know but they got it somewhere. “ After a rest day, Merckx cut that lead to 7 minutes and in the Pyrenees, on the Col de Menté, Merckx attacked as he descended the mountain. Merckx lost control and skidded into a low wall. Ocaña could not avoid...

MVDP would need an extreme amount of luck and voodoo to go his way in order to win LBL.
