Can anyone beat these 6

[Bonimenier]

"Can anyone not beat these 6" is a more appropriate title by now.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

In one-day races a lot can happen but it's way more difficult to beat top guys in GTs. I mean Pogacar, Roglic, Bernal and probably Evenepoel should win majority of GTs in years to come.

 

[Andre]

Jasper Stuyven

 

[Blobs]

Beaten again.

Going to be harder in the stage races though.

Everytime someone else wins, I think of this thread. Forget about the rainbow jersey curse, this thread right here is the real curse. Watch now Valverde win Itzulia.

Any of these 6 gonna win anything anytime soon? Maybe tomorrow with Bennet but the others are just so not justifying being on this list at the moment.

Roglic did win quite recently.

At stage-races it's still Slovenian status-quo: Very good chance that Roglic (or maybe Pogacar) wins the Basque race and the former won the TT yesterday.

Bennett: Scheldeprijs
van Aert: BP
Roglic: Itzulia
van der Poel: Tour de Suisse stage 1
Alaphilippe: Amstel
Pogacar: Flèche

Maybe Alaphilippe can be replaced with Asgreen with winning E3 and Flanders

Let's wait until he takes the Worlds-Roubaix double in the fall.

Will these 6 losers still be riding in the pro peloton by this time next year?

Then I guess it's a good thing he already has a thread, so you don't go and repeat the Trentin-Thread-Thing.

I hope this is tongue in cheek because Van der Poel has more WT wins than any other rider this year

 

[Bonimenier]

That's a lie. Bennett has more, and Roglic and Pogacar both have as much WT-wins as him. They are all 3 on this list though.

Of course it's tongue in cheek. And what you are saying it's not true at all. VDP has 4 WT wins. Same as Bennett, Roglic and Pogacar.

Edit:
Sorry, Bennett has 5.

Edit2:
And Chris Harper has like 8 or 9.

 

[topcat]

There should only be 2 on the list: Pog and Bennett. Pog is almost unbeatable in a stage race and Bennett is almost unbeatable in a sprint. The other 4 are second class citizens.

 

[Leinster]

In terms of the classics, and this may change as soon as Liege, there are currently no standing multiple-monument winners under the age of 30. The big 3 all have their collection of races named after arrows, beers, and gravel, and a shiny rainbow jersey too, but none of them have more than 1 of cycling's 5 biggest one-day prizes.

The current youngest multi-monument man is Sagan (31). There are 8 u30s currently sitting on 1 (Demare, Jungels, Alaf, Bettiol, WvA, MvdP, Stuyven and Asgreen). Of those, Demare is unlikely to get another chance before his 30th birthday this August.

Yes it was tongue in cheek, hence the emoji at the end. I just expected them to win every race they entered being the "big 6"and no other racer was entitled to win.

I guess we're now just left with one. This thread just keeps getting better and better.

Bunch of riders saw this thread, and went; "Challenge accepted! "

 

[Pinot's goat]

Just wait for Landismo tomorrow, Pogacar won't be able to cope as Landa TTs his way to the leader's jersey after going solo on the Erlaitz.

This thread is hilarious. Can anyone beat these six? Yes. Close the thread.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm just looking forward to the day when all six of them are in a finale together - don't ask! - and then some random dude just pops out of nowhere!

Too bad Bennett didn't ride SB. He would definitely been up there.
