Belgian GOAT

[Netserk]

what is greatness , is it enough to win many races before tv had colours or is it about how hard a rider can stomp his pedals ?

if one goes by either of those two options solely , there can be no doubt about who the greatest is - but what is it :
- merckx as goat
- evenepoel as goat

LMFAO

 

[AmRacer]

If I say Pogi is the 🐐, cycling fans letting me know that Merckx is the 🐐 due to better palmares.
Therefore, Merckx is the Belgian GOAT

 

[Panda Claws]

One is also only 26

 

[Netserk]

One is also only 26

and maybe already goat

he isnt exactly up against farmers

 

[hrotha]

Voted Evenepoel as a protest vote over the absence of Ludo Dierckxsens

Only against a way shallower talent pool.

 

[Mayomaniac]

And where is the Boonen option?!

 

[Netserk]

And where is the Boonen option?!

neither better palmares than merckx nor could he ride as fast as evenepoel can now

 

[kingjr]

Drunk polls are the best polls

Only against a way shallower talent pool.

Evenepuddle vs man who rode in versus Saharah level of talent pool

I would like to know the reason behind this thread.

I would like to know the reason behind this thread.

it seems like people understand greatness differently

some people think its most important to be very strong
some people think its most important to win many races

that should maybe also decide who they think the greatest belgian cyclist of all time is

But it's easy, just compare with Pogi. Is Eddy or Remco better than Pogi?

Who put the capital letters into the thread title?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Remco (considering all of the asterisks)>>> merckzx >>>>> de valeminck >>>> pocagar

 

[Hugo Koblet]

neither better palmares than merckx nor could he ride as fast as evenepoel can now

I'm pretty sure that Boonen had a higher top speed than Evenepoel on flat road, so it's actually Evenepoel who can't ride as fast as Boonen could.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

There aren't many good belgien cyclists.

This ranking has nothing to do with results. It's about the ineffable.
