A top rider that no one dislikes?

[Machu Picchu]

The younger the rider, the less haters
(although of course there are exceptions, cf ricco vs Voigt)

less successful the rider, the less haters (especially if rider is a hard working domestic).

I'd use the term 'top rider' in a broader sense, someone in a position to win or is an important part of placing a rider to win, for example I would include Tiralongo as a top rider that I think few would dislike or indeed Kiserlovski on the other side of the age scale

My comment was rather as reaction on the comparison between rodriguez and sagan

Bit of a paradox there, no? For nobody to dislike a rider, you would also need to not dislike them. But you have stated that you would always dislike such a rider...

Not really. Echoes didn't say anything about not disliking somebody that somebody dislikes

Mathew Hayman

I don't like the fact that everyone says he would won a lot riding for himself

 

[mr. tibbs]

What about the ladies? Does anyone object to:

Marianne Vos
Judith Arndt
Kristin Armstrong
Katie Compton
Ina Yoko Teutenberg

Not a paradox in the Star Trek-Time Travel Episodes sense of the word, but in the sense that it nullifies the entire thread by closing off the possibility that there could be anyone not disliked by someone. The poster pre-emptively dislikes anyone that is not disliked by anyone else, and thus ensures every single rider will be disliked by at least one person. It is a mobious strip of negativity.

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot..

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot..

I'm sure a lot of wives would hate her if she was famous.

I didn't think anyone was good enough to measure up to the lofty standards of the CN forums.

If you do too well your probably a doper
If you don't do well you're a ****er
If you're a nice guy you lack the killer instinct.
If you have the killer instinct you're a bully and a jerk
If you're humble you don't have drive.
If you have drive you're arrogant.
If you don't attack all the time you're boring and have no panache
If you attack too much and blow up you're dumb and don't know strategy.
If you're above 4% body fat you're fat
If you're below 4% body fat you're an unhealthy "chicken"

And so on. It's a tough crowd.

Yes, well done. Take all the opinions held on a subject, within a group, bundle them together and then act as though all of that group hold all of those thoughts. Of course lots of different people's opinions will appear contradictory if you stick them all together as one. What exactly are you trying to point out?

Oh, and try Googling the origin of the nickname "Chicken".

How about Timmy Duggan?

Is he a top rider?

PFP, Rochelle Gilmore, Stevens, Clara Hughes maybe. Would people like Bronzini or not?

 

[greenedge]

no, Haussler dislikes him : )

Does anyone dislike Haussler or is he not a top rider at the moment?

 

[trevim]

I dislike all the excuses he come up with. Still hoping he gets back to 2009 form though

 

[LaFlorecita]

To the OP:

Doesn't exist, just like there isn't a top rider no one likes.

 

[cineteq]

Is he a top rider?

Not yet It seems everybody's posting any rider on this thread. On the other hand, there is no such thing as top rider who is not disliked, by default he will have haters.

 

[Nick C.]

From the recent past I don't seem to recall having seen, read or heard anyone say anything negative about Charley Mottet or Andy Hampsten.

 

[mr. tibbs]

What about greener, edgier Hausler?

I think those others are all good bets, even Bronzini. She cuts a mean figure in the rainbow stripes! The only pro woman I can think of that people might take issue with is Longo b/c of the recent "contraband" dust-up.

 

[pugdog]

Bronzini... A bit too mannish for my tastes.

The thread is about collective likes/dislikes. 9000ft is pointing out the collective's ranging opinion.

 

[norwegian]

Do Sagan and Boasson Hagen really have haters?

I can`t understand how anybody could dislike them.
