    Who is the better Classics cyclist between Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel?

    Cavendish has beat Contador on some uphill finishes. They might not have been long or steep but they did go up. ;)

    Pogacar v Merckx

    The thread is “Who’s the real cannibal.” Neither as far as we know have ate another human. Now if they’re eating results, both are prolific but Merckx won more year over year while racing a lot more. Both have an extremely high win rate of the races they completed.

    Pogacar v Merckx

    Criterium’s don’t count because they’re scripted like WWE(F)/TNA/WCW/AEW/ECW. The winner is selected beforehand and Merckx was the most marketable. The only question is if criteriums back then were like they are today. Plus the 525 might count amateur wins.

    @Armchair Cyclist or @Potomac did but I don’t know how to see the post time. Then Archmair credits Orla Chennaoui for the nickname.

    National Football League

    Patriots just have to show up and out in one game this year, 9/21 at home against the Steelers. But I think they have a good chance to finish second in the division over Miami.

    After being allowed almost 30 mins in the breakaway. Pereiro was the Nieve of the 2000’s. If given the same advantage as Pereiro these riders would win the Tour and some by minutes; Healy, Gee, Pinot, A. Yates, Cattaneo, Carapaz, Aru, Bernal, Nieve, G. Thomas, S. Sanchez, F. Schleck, M.

    Yes, Oscar Pereiro a huge threat in Grand Tours during the 2000’s.

    Wow, Cunego extremely under delivered on his race results with how much talent he possessed.

    Vingegaard has had his bad days as well and unlike Pogacar, gave up on the overall win two years in a row.

    With this logic MSR should be number one. RVV is in the same part of other hard classics like E3, GW, and DdV while PR is in the same part as RVV.
