Why would anyone be waiting for my post
I mean GT winning isn't the only thing that makes a good rider and they didn't clarify it as one of the best GT riders we've seen in decades.
In the last 10-20 years I'm not sure you can easily say Bernal is better than Pogacar, Sagan, Ala, WVA, VDP, Froome, Roglic, Contador, Nibali, Valverde, Boonen, Cancellara etc
Indeed, Pogacar and Roglic are better ...Bernal one of the best cyclists we've seen in decades according to Eurosport. Seems a tad hyperbolic. Hasnt even won a GT that was raced in full

Definitely above Ala, Rogla and WVA on current palmarès. Current palmarès also has him above Tadej and VDP but they've also got the best chances of the above to rectify that.
ganna trying to secure that money bag he is due from giro winningsI wonder how much time Bernal lost to Caruso because he took all the corners really careful.
Ganna told RAI that he said to Egan that he shouldn't take any risks, cause if he'd end up crashing he'd hurt him even worse.
Maybe we can wait until Roglic actually wins a Tour instead of being Zulle 2.0 to say thisIndeed, Pogacar and Roglic are better ...
Tour GC win + Giro GC win are both worth more than any one day race. Including Ala's rainbow bands. WVA's road palmarès isn't comparable to Egan's, but if you include the 'cross there's a much more convincing argument in his favour.I wouldn't say he's above Roglic at all unless you're counting the Tour GC win hugely.
Roglic has 11 GC stage wins (which is ridiculous for a non sprinter tbh), loads of week long stages, LBL and 2 Vueltas.
Ala and WVA are a bit different just due to the races they target but the likes of winning MSR,Strade, AGR, WCs etc are worth a lot imo

Maybe. We'll see how everything looks in several years. I mean, Roglic is terrific but Bernal currently has two wins that are bigger than any win Roglic has and he's quite a bit younger.Indeed, Pogacar and Roglic are better ...
Roglic could have won this race.Maybe. We'll see how everything looks in several years. I mean, Roglic is terrific but Bernal currently has two wins that are bigger than any win Roglic has and he's quite a bit younger.

Remember Bernal also has Suisse and Paris-Nice as well as some other minor one-week races like Colombia Oro y Paz and California too, which balances out much of the lesser stage races because Tour > Giro > Vuelta in value. Rogla having LBL is probably the better argument in his favour and I think they're fairly comparable. I hesitated on including Rogla in that post, to be honest.
I expected a much better Giro from Carthy.Carthy poor: Bardet might manage 7th
Coulda Woulda ShouldaRoglic could have won this race.
