Can anyone beat these 6

[HelloDolly]

MVdP
Roglic
Allaphillipe
Pogacar
Wout van Aert
Sam Bennet



These six riders seem unbeatable at the moment in races (except by each other) in every discipline

I would love to see the unexpected or other win the classics or the GT but cant see anyone beating any of those six in any race bar accident or illness

Does these guys strength make cycling better or is it 2 tier now

Can Gilbert win his 5th monument
Can Matthews or someone else win MSR
Can anyone else win PR

I can's see it but hope I am wrong

Add Ganna in the TTs.

 

[Bonimenier]

Bernal and Evenepoel both will likely win once or twice as well

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Also sprints are too unpredictable for total dominance. Nobody wins them all, not even peak Cavendish. Bennett is batting .666 so far this season, which is unbelievable but he’s not going to maintain that and it means he’s been beaten twice already.

 

[HelloDolly]

I am not sure Bernal will beat Pog or Roglic but he is doing hte Giro so I think he can win there

I am not sure about Evenepoel yet ..I dont think he is yet with these 6

In the 1980 only a few riders dominated and were good all year

 

[BlueRoads]

I think you don't like him anymore since he left Sunweb... but what about Hirschi?

 

[tobydawq]

What is Bennett doing on that list?

Next year we can be talking different riders. So it happens!
Towards the end of the year 2020 everyone was talking Hirschi. At the beginning of the year in the mountains Quintana had no match.
What about Evenepoel before the crash?
Mollema is getting the hang on the hilly classics.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

They can beat each other. This is basically how cycling works. Every team has one or two dominant leaders. Each team works for their leaders. Out of all those leaders, there are always a few that are more dominant.

I guess we'll see how Hirschi and Evenepoel go when they start racing.

 

[Breezy1985]

Winning

 

[Krzysztof_O]

It seems there's Big3 in classics (MVP, WVA, Ala) and Big2 in stage races (Roglic, Pogacar). Also there's a dominant TT-ist (Ganna) and sprinter (Benett).
But things are consistently changing: soon there could be a new Big3 in stage races (Pogacar, Evenepoel, Bernal) and Hirschi is already a top classic rider (who will probably improve further).

 

[HelloDolly]

I think you don't like him anymore since he left Sunweb... but what about Hirschi?

I dont dislike Hirschi cos he left Sunweb more so that Sunweb got rid of him and nobody really knows why
Lets see what Hirschi and Evenepoel can do this year

I agree Ganna should be rider number 7

And I know every year riders are good at different times ,etc but these guys seem on another level to everyone else in their discipline and I dont think its just form

 

[HelloDolly]

And what si more I dont see it changing anytime soon

 

[tobydawq]

I agree, it's too easy to say that "every year somebody new is dominating". And it isn't true, either. This is a sick bunch (apart from Bennett) but Remco can probably play with them on some terrains.

 

[Publiuszam]

Winning

Playing with them, or playing "with" them...?

Yes, they make cycling better!

Yeah, don't believe in this. All of these guys can and will be beaten (some of them have been already). And Bennett being on this list makes no sense. He's certainly good but by no means head and shoulders above the rest, even with the DQ bump. We're certainly not talking about a Cav or Petacchi situation with him. The one guy who could conceivably be invincible this year is the guy you didn't include.

 

[tobydawq]

Compete with them, not crush them.

Pierre Rolland?

 

[jaylew]

Pierre Rolland?

Exactly who I was thinking about.

 

[Bonimenier]

How many stages will these 6 combined win in this year's TdF?
Over/Under 20?

 

[HelloDolly]

Who that ?

Only thing is if those 6 or 7 are so indomitable it will be easy for the bookmakers

 

[davidsonduke]

8 times MdvP, WVA, and JA have been in the same race. 8 times one of them won. (that's what I heard today--there must be some sort of qualification--not sure)
