I am not the one who can't back up my claims, so it's funny that you of all people are using this insult.

Ganna, climb?GC threat??
He can climb pretty well considering his size (he actually weights around 80kg) and was second in this year Tour de San Luis hanging on in the mountain stage with the best so I think that there is potential for him to become a GC threat in the future but not for the moment

Agreed. A rider with Ganna's physical engine can become a GT contender, but it also takes a special psyche to stay concentrated every day for three weeks. Ganna showed promise in the race you mention, although it was a very weak field. A bit like Tom D, who also showed glimpses of climbing talent in the 2014 season.

What the hell are you even talking about. You posted the link with 7 top 10 ITT's out of 12 ITT's yourself. You were the one claiming he was never a good ITT'er, while clearly, he was. You were the one with the clinic insinuations based on this specific ITT. Yet if Almeida wasn't a good ITT'er as a youth, then almost nobody was. Maybe you should check results of junior and U23 ITT's of guys you DO consider "good ITT'ers". And see if they did any better.
He posted the link himself: 7 top 10 finishes.

1st year junior: silver NC ITT
2nd year junior: gold NC ITT
1st year U23: bronze NC ITT
2nd year U23: silver NC ITT
3rd year U23: gold NC ITT

Lopez has now crashed on the first stage in both the Tour and Giro. And both crashes were kinda absurd-looking.

Hit a bump when he was transitioning from the aero bars to the regular bars, looked like a routine enough incident, but then the bike gripped when it was on its way down which forced him to veer sharp right into the barriers.

No way... 1:59.54 after the first split... 125th for now
His first race back since recovering from covid.

Looked fairly nasty, tried to take his hand off the bar as he hit a bump and lost control and kinda rocketed sideways into the barriers. They might have had enough give to soften things a bit though

Lopez and the TT bike
His time was already terribe before the crash if I saw correctly (something around 70th or so).
