Carlos Betancur discussion thread

Oh my gosh he's gonna win the Tour of Switzerland!

Why did he ride with a watch on his wrist?

Re:

Cause he can ... or to show everyone how superior he actually is. Just adding weight and still crushing them into the ground.

He needs to know exactly when his contract with Movistar expires.

Gosh, he looks thin and yet his thighs are so big.

Re:

To tell the time?
At least that's usually why I wear a watch.

The most wtf moment i ever seen in cycling, was this win by betancur... I was just to see if he would finish the race and he actually won!!! I'm so happy!!!

Re:

Because Valverde does too?

Mother of god, someone will win the Tour Vuelta double this year and it's not Froome :lol:

But in all seriousness I can't believe what I just saw. He wasn't only one but around 20 levels above everyone else in this race and he wasn't exactly riding against unexperienced neopros.

The curse must not apply to Hammertime.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's so he only sees his data when he wants to glance at it. Seems like the sort of guy who rides on feel. Seems like the sort of guy who does everything on feel, TBH.

He looks thin for his standards
If he was professional, he would be the new valverde. What a waste of talent

Re:

His thigh is bigger than his waste. I don't think that's even an exaggeration.

Pretty sure his waste was epic back in the day :redface:

 

[HelloDolly]

Well not sure he will win in Switzerland but there are some stages he could win ...2,4,5 are all promising
And Movistar team has no clear leader so Betancur could show something there

He is the new Tinho.

You say that, his main competition was from Tao Hart :lol:

Re:

So that he would know when it was hammer time.

McLovin.

Guys... realise something?
We're actually talking about him in a racing context! As in actual racing, not just wow... he made it to a race.

 

[diego721]

Welcome to the Hype train!!
Nice to see him celebrating something again.

 

[HelloDolly]

Carlos who spends his time and talent in Colombian night clubs has seen the light ? Lets hope so

Good point, let's say not all his opponents were unexperienced neopros

 

[Simurgh]

A joy to see him back with a good ride! I hope he smashes la vuelta

 

[deValtos]

I can't get over how large his thighs are and how thin is waist is. Unreal. Looks like the legs of Chris Hoy.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Betancur looks unrecognizable. So skinny. He seems to be in absolutely smashing shape

 

[hfer07]

haters gonna hate

don't call it a comeback!!!
