Who's talking about GC potential only? Your comment initially was that Uijtdebroeks '2023 season would already be one of the better seasons in Kelderman’s career', not referring to only GC potential. Before that you stated that his climbing results were better than their climbing results 'even later in their careers'. You constantly make bold statements, than water them down claiming you didn't mean it that way while that is quite literally what you stated.
Let's ask
@Valv.Piti who initially brought it up, whether he meant to compare Uijtdebroeks to Kelderman, Kruijswijk and Mas, as potential GC rider, or rather as a GC rider, with part time domestique duties, and results in races not one fcking soul on the face of the planet cares about, like a top 10 in Eneco Tour, like you seem to believe.
Because before you want to call me out on spouting bollocks and talking nonsense, maybe you might want to do some comprehensive reading so that maybe you understand the context of the discussion. It helps to not spout nonsense or bollocks yourself.
I did not water anything down, i merely explained my stance in case you misunderstood. Believe me, i'm not likely to water down a statement i believe to be true. I think the list i made, speaks for itself. There are perhaps 4 out of 13 seasons in Kelderman's career, that are better than Uijtdebroeks' last season. I personally don't see any wiggle room there. So, 4 out of 13, i think that fits with my statement, "one of the better seasons". I also don't see how a top 10 in Eneco or Poland is going to shift the needle. And unless the forum is filled with hypocrites, you won't find lots of posters to support your case.
I indeed said his climbing chops last year were better than theirs at age 20, and even later in their careers. That's what i said, and that is also true. At his age, they weren't even close. And it took quite a few years for them to perform better. I didn't say they never performed better, or i would have stated it with that word. Never. Which i didn't. I'm quite aware a top 5 or top 3 in the TDF ranks higher than a top 10 in the Vuelta.
