Just how much better is Bernal than Quintana?

Re:

It's a great shame that Ryo isn't around to hype Bernal.

I do guess he's not the purest of climbers though.

Re:

Overhyped spanish speaking riders.

There's the new Contador, but way more explosive and just more all around.

Aye but do we know if the dawg or big Tom D is over hyping them? And that was the point in bringing up that stupid statement, no one knew what they 2 were thinking but one of the mods in here was happy to tell everyone that the dawg and Tom d wouldn’t pay attention to any over hyped Spanish speaking and no doubt didn’t respect them

TT are better.
Probably much better all rounder at his peak!

Re:

If only he didn't ride for Sky...

That would be great for the sake of cycling.... Oh well.

Yes well he does so enjoy through the tears

 

[Baldinger]

Hype him all you want, but if he stays at sky and progresses as expected everyone will be sick of him in five years.

If he goes to a "weaker" team, then he can have it all. Grand tours and lots of fans.

 

[Gigs_98]

Meanwhile Thomas is really disappointing.

Make it 2

Maybe Movistar will pick him up. 4 leaders for GTs has to be a good thing!

Feel kinda sorry for G. Perhaps the year he could really shine, but falls through

Great time by Roglic

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

decent time Dennis

 

[infeXio]

Roglic faaaaaast!

 

[DNP-Old]

F*ck.

 

[RedheadDane]

Why, oh, why didn't I place a friendly bet with Red Rick regarding the "Winner time won't be much below 27 seconds" statement?

 

[classicomano]

Rogla is a beast.

 

[Red Rick]

Rogla

Re:

I was thinking of Nairo just now. The poor guy has only just turned 28 but it almost feels like his window is closing. So hope he wins the Tour this year.

But, Bernal, dear lord that was fabulous. It's 3:30am here in New Zealand and I'm trying to keep my excitement in check to not wake up my wife and son. It's not easy.

 

[jaylew]

I think Bernal may actually be the first Sky climber to never have to be a part of the Froome train.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Roglic +4s. Roglic leader.

Told you Porte rode a weak 2nd part, that is all.

 

[Escarabajo]

Roglic, excellent time!

 

[lmrt]

tmrw will be epic. sky strength's is good for fans when they are chasing and not leading. Roglic has decent team though it's gonna be fun

 

[SafeBet]

Tomorrow could be fun with these time gaps.

 

[Robert5091]

Chapeau Bernal & Roglic - outstanding! LRP looking good too.

BERNAL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gaudi

Seriously this is giving me chills, this guy.

No need to compare cyclists to architects.
