Best forum memes

[gregrowlerson]

Is that all the explanation I can get?

I'm about to become an ancient member, I DESERVE TO KNOW!!!

There are some things that cannot be taught.

Tbh I'd associate myself much more with complaining about GT routes than The Button.

Libertine Seguros has had a few, though I wouldn't call hating Sagan a meme really, but the Sepp Kuss thing is hilarious. Also Fedaia (FEDAIAAAA!!!!!), mentioning the best women rider in every rider of the year discussion. And shoutout to that one time I said there must be at least 150 climbs harder than Alpe d'Huez and LS went and made an entire list of 150 climbs

I do like the Black Album thing @Netserk. I'm not sure if it ever was a meme, but I did like @LaFlorecita's old sig referencing Hitch calling Contador the Greatest of the Nine. I think it started during the 2011 Tour or something.

CN was way different when I was still lurking. Stage threads were insane, previews could be huge. I think the first time I was lurking might actually have been the 2011 Tour de Suisse when Leipheimer beat Cunego in that final ITT, which is probably the smallest race to ever cause such rage on the forum. There also used to be some rivalry between The Dutch Mafia and some other posters, I think Aussieyclefan but most of this was before I posted here.

FEDAIAAAA!!!!

P.S. My favourite I think.

Jose Rujano will win the giro this year.

 

[valentius borealis]

Team Gadret

LRP and Aussie cycling in general deserves a mention.

You can't mention LRP without also mentioning TGBM!

 

[gregrowlerson]

Macbindle's love of Pinot's sensitive side.

Could become a meme if it hasn't already.

#freehugs

 

[Billie]

X will win this bike race

 

[King Boonen]

The Vortex.

Please no.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Tony Martin ruling the peloton with a stern German iron fist.

Can also link to forum calls for race neutralisation whenever there is a drop of rain (this goes back to Fabian Cancellara days too).

 

[Aproblem]

Bavarianrider's obsession with the wonderful American tarmac.

 

[Red Rick]

Please no.

Is that a Clinic meme?

 

[King Boonen]

Is that a Clinic meme?

Yes. The good Dr. is no longer with us but some other users do occasionally pick up the mantle...

 

[Gigs_98]

There was also Contador's 3 seconds over Nibali on stage 8 of the 2014 Tour, though I'm not sure if that ever became a 'meme'.

Nah, that's no meme. That's just a bad argument

Anyone remember El Pistolero? He wasn't backwards in coming forwards.

El Pistoleros golden moments came when people were discussing Valverde, with stuff like "his LBL wins don't count as real monument wins, his Vuelta doesn't count as a real gt win and all his other wins were unimportant because they were neither monuments nor gt's.

That does sound like Pisti

 

[Pricey_sky]

Jancouver vs the Tour Down Under, LRP and Aussie cycling in general deserves a mention.

Yes! Always kept us on our toes during a cold and miserable January.

Personally loved Ninja Zubeldia, Vino and FEDAIAAA!!

‘The peloton remembers’ could become a classic.

 

[ice&fire]

All I recall of Vino's meme is that he was added as the (unlikely) winner of any poll in race threads, even if he wasn't in the start list.

Then it got out of hand and at his peak it reached Chuck Norris' memes level.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I feel like a quarter of them are Libertine Seguros.

Nuke/burn the Tourmalet, and more recently PDBF.

Mick freaking Rogers.

Short stages don't work in and of themselves.

I cannot think of them all. But there have been many things over the years that have made LS want to kill kittens.

Drowning kittens and burning qurans yeah that was funny.

Meanwhile, one low key thing I've always loved was @Descender coming in once a year to make one comment about how bad the Vuelta route is, although it's good to see him back a little more active this Vuelta around.

 

[pastronef]

I forgot who was that HATED the TDU and Richie Porte. like very bad. really angry he came up every January

 

[tobydawq]

What is the Fedaia thing?

 

[ice&fire]

Meanwhile...

 

[PeterB]

Is there any more classic than this one?

I mean isn't @Libertine Seguros a bit of a meme themselves, writing a scientific 50 page essay about race designing every time someone points out, that good stage recently was actually rather short.

 

[SafeBet]

"Rider x is the new rider y" in the thread titles.
Which sometimes became "Rider x is the new rider x".
Best spinoff of course: "Rider x is the new rider y is the new rider z is the new rider..."

 

[gregrowlerson]

What is the Fedaia thing?

Libertine Seguros' favourite climb EVER!!!!

I would like to see more TTT's for no other reason then to read Libertine Seguros responses about said TTT's.
