Can anyone beat these 6

[Krzysztof_O]

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.

Ha, nothing beats Landis' ride in 2006. Fast and furious!

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

I wish threads could be closed that easily.

 

[cycling_pro]

yes, ban thread, delete OP

 

[BlueRoads]

Now we have even jinxed Primoz.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

The list should be about 15 riders long at the moment.

"Can these 6 actually beat anyone?"

"Can these 6 actually beat anyone?"

Awesome. Meme-level potential for this thread!

 

[wheresmybrakes]

LOL, thought this was gonna be a dead thread, add another to the list.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Surprisingly it seems that even Primoz and Tadej are just journeymen.

To be fair the 5 riders with the most WT-wins this season are all on this list. Only Alaphilippe needs to do some catch-up.

He is off form but wait till he shows you his trophy cabinet

He can't anyway, he's cursed. But more importantly I asked him to not get more than one win this season in order to save my cq-team and he's so nice as to oblige.

They can. Some are kept for comic relief.

 

[42x16ss]

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.

Being incorrect is lying now? Wow. Nice.

 

[Bonimenier]

Always has been

 

[RedheadDane]

Always have been

Has it? Doesn't lying imply that you're intentionally providing false information?

 

[42x16ss]

Always has been

To anyone who has ever failed an exam - apparently you're a dirty liar.

Made a bet and lost - you too.

Gotten your directions wrong and ended up lost - better believe that's lying too.

Take it up with Bonimenier...

 

[Pinot's goat]

Replace Bennett with Cavendish.

 

[tobydawq]

The curse continues.

 

[RedheadDane]

The list just keeps growing.

 

[Escarabajo]

Fatigue can be a b!tch!!!!

 

[johnymax]

Add Pidcock!

 

[johnymax]

Can you please start a thread "Roglič can't win a WT stage race in France", please?

One day races (classics, monuments whatever) are just way too much of a lottery to clearly define a hierarchy in today's peloton.

Yeah Alaphilippe, van Aert & van der Poel are super strong in these kinds of races, but everyone else knows that so they get an entire peloton riding against them & the win is easily lost. Meanwhile in GC stage races, it doesn't matter whether everyone knows Pogacar & Roglic are untouchable, come the final climbs they'll still drop everyone & take the lead.

So out of those six, notwithstanding accidents I'd say it's only Pogacar & Roglic who're "unbeatable" because the nature of the events they compete in (GC classification in stage races) means the strongest in the field mostly comes out on top. Meanwhile the others face a massive fight against a whole bunch of guys who can beat them on one day.

Schachmann and Vingegaard, though.
