It's iconic! He's even got sponsor agreement with Gillette because of it.

He looks like one of those waffle shop owning hipsters in Wellington, NZ.

All I have to say is that I'm also not a fan of blond moustaches. Or any moustaches. But blond ones are the worst.

Thanks for backing me up, good to see you also think Cort should be relegated.

Of course I think so. After all I have van Wilder on my cq-team as well.

Van Wilder should have just not celebrated when there was a pink tornado approaching from behind.

Not surprising since Van aert is quite good at losing small group sprints.
Somehow? How is it somehow? It's obvious that he is a good rider who is bad tactically and doesn't win a lot.

To an extent, but a guy who's made the top-6 of like half the spring classics + the Worlds and has won Brabantse Pijl + on Alpe at the Tour really should have won more than just those two by now. It's not like he's a Landa-calibre sprinter either...

According to PCS there are boniseconds??? Is this correct? There weren't in the past.
In that case Van Wilder did a good job regardless. This race will probably be decided by less than 20 seconds overall.

On yesterday's evidence, he sprints better with no hands. Perhaps he should add unicycle racing to the set of World Championships he is aiming for.

Cort was a first-mover. Nowadays, most young guys have a moustache.

If it's a big, thick, Urs Freuler style darkish mustache one can pull it off, otherwise not so much.

That's not the issue. We aren't saying he should be relegated for having a moustache. Do you think we're idiots. We're saying he should be relegated for having an UGLY moustache.

They are!
He looks like a bad pron star in it tbh. The worst thing is I think he cannot shave it ever until he retires. As how can he not be superstitious when everyone is talking about that darn ugly thing ugh He is good, no doubt. But because of his passport commentators overhype him to the level it just becomes cringy (in cyclocross races they talk about the big 3, as Pidcock was ever factor when Wout and MvdP were present) and he himself doesn't hold back with his overconfidence sometimes.

I think his career would crumble if he got a beautiful moustache.

https://www.radsport-news.com/sport/sportnews_132879.htm had it this morning. They changed it however. No mention of a Portuguese CT man any more…
Wasn‘t meant to be an insinuation, sorry if it looked like that… But everything Pidcock touches turns to Gold… ;-)
Maybe he has not won a lot yet because he has basically only competed in most of the biggest races and against very strong fields each time. That he "should" have won more is a bit harsh in that regard. I think we would need to see him race a couple of full road seasons with different type of races at different levels to be able to come to that conclusion. By that point, if he has still not won "many" races, I think you could say that. At least that is my opinion.
Where he has won so far speaks a lot about what he is capable of and his talent, but a lot of great riders has not ended up with as many wins as one would have probably expected. There are a lot of factors involved to be able to win bike-races. It is very hard for most riders to win more than 5-10 races over a career. 80% will never pass 10 wins and many just end up with 2-3 wins.

To be fair, Cort could do this kind of finish even before he got his moustache:

Yes, he exceeded expectations in his first year, but pretty much the exact opposite last season due to stomach issues, long-running knee problem and Covid. This was his second race day and he should be somewhere back to full potential this spring.
Conveniently forgetting about the Christmas races this year when he was a factor. It's impressive to be anywhere near the two of the best CX riders of all time. And he is definitely one of, if not the best MTB ridersin the world. Juggling 3 disciplines isn't easy, just ask MVDP who hasn't been able to since The Olympics. And yes no doubt some of The UK commentators focus too much on him, but how much that winds you up is your decision.

I'm pretty sure the baton has been passed on quite a bit since then. Or are those selfish WT riders only thinking of themselves?
(Yes, I know Philipsen wasn't technically a WT rider last year.)
