Which one of these two will achieve cycling immortality first? I'm tipping Sagan, although the Dutch fans will obviously talk up Bauke Mollema.

Vote away.

And yes, this thread is in jest

I think both of them are completely different riders, not really that comparable.
And probably neither will ever gain cycling immortality, but if I'm forced to pick one who is most likely to gain this honour, it would have to be Sagan

Lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:mad:
 
All riders not from Colombia are limited, duh. ;)
Except Vino and Ricco.
Anyway, like the youngest said, Mollema only rides a bike since 6(?) years, he was a football player (and not a good one) before that.

But if we take this discussion seriously, there is no comparison, as Sagan is a completely different rider.

What?

All that at the age of 6. You dutch sure must start cycling really early, and be really good at judging talent if you can spot if someone is going to be good at football, about 3 years after they learn to walk.


As to the discussion. Surely it should be Sagan vs ebh. Oh if the Australians want to take the **** out of the dutch hyping up Mollema, perhaps the dutchies should create a thread asking "who is the star of the future, Peter Sagan or Richie Porte", because Mollema is a lot better (and younger) than Porte.

Sagan is a good talent, but talent and some success at 20 do not guarantee success at 30. Just last year Ebh was the next Mercx, now hes getting dropped by the green jersey on climbs. I think Sagan could be a great classics specialist. MSR and cobbled classics suit him and his climbing aint bad, improve on that and he might just be the one to get the grand slam of monuments.

Oh. And people thought Frank Schleck was a great prospect, and then they heard his brother was even better. Perhaps with Sagan it will be the same. His brother is apparently quite good as well.

'Since 6 years' is the Euro syntax for 'for 6 years' i.e. He has only been a bike ride since 6 years/for 6 years

Edit: Oh yeah , Sagan FTW

I was once asked if I "want to spoon?" instead of do you want a spoon? in Poland. Awesome.

Haven't you guys been reading cyclingnews? Sagan is clearly the next Taylor Phinney

That's some funny stuff right there.

My money is on Sagan. That kid has it. It wouldn't even surprise me if he lost the baby fat and became a potential GT rider.

The dude who impresses me just as much is Richie Porte.
