With the one exception being Vingegaard in the only ITT he rode Granted, not against the best opposition, but he did look good in that time trial.The only negative I see for Vingegaard is Jumbos overall performance in ITTs this year

Like comparing Evenepoel with Merckx?Why do you associate Vingegaard with Michael Rasmussen and Bjarne Riis??! In addition to him being Danish and a cyclist, there are light years between their and his accomplishments, morals and ethics. I think it's *** and a disparagement of such a great athlete..... just plain ***. You should be ashamed! Imagine if someone did the same to Podgacar, G. Thomas, Remco Evenepool or Egon Banal...... I can't believe that you are bike enthusiasts with such associations You have started the thread about Jonas Vingegaard - Shame on you!

Who is Egon Banal?
Some really ordinary guy...

I think it's a bit rich to come and talk about a lack of respect for a certain rider and then proceed to misspell all other riders' names in the post...
Hey, calm down and take care of your blood pressureWhy do you associate Vingegaard with Michael Rasmussen and Bjarne Riis??!

Ok must admit, this sounds bizarre.Like comparing Evenepoel with Merckx?
The way I see it is that those three Danish guys all had the same one goal in mind, which was to reach a level that made it possible for them to win the Tour de France, and they all managed to achieve it.I didn't mean to disrespect the other riders names...sorry. I admit I didn't get their names written correctly....Probably because it was a bit fast getting it written.
But it is an honor for Remco Evenepoel to be compared to Eddy Merckx. That cannot be said about your comparison of Vingegaard with Riis and Rasmussen...... It would be the same as comparing Vincenzo Nibali with Riccardo Riccò ........... it is disrespectful
I'd rather be confused with Riis or Rasmussen than Chris Harper to be honest.
And it's not like I've gone overboard and made a reference to the cartoon "Help! I'm a Fish", which is about a young boy who gets turned into a yellow fish after drinking a potion made by a mad scientist.
I mean the song was also a major reason why I didn't want to reference the film.View: https://youtube.com/watch?v=RqqOVo6q5J0
I'm a little yellow fish in the deep blue sea
Won't somebody help me
I'm a little yellow fish in the deep blue sea

Do you wanna know how living is beneath the waves
Do you wanna know how everything I knew was changed
It wasn't such a big commotion
All you need is magic potion
If Nibali (or Aru for that matter) were compared with Pantani, that too would be a great honour. Riis is no different.I didn't mean to disrespect the other riders names...sorry. I admit I didn't get their names written correctly....Probably because it was a bit fast getting it written.

Nibali >> Pantani sorry to tell you that mate.If Nibali (or Aru for that matter) were compared with Pantani, that too would be a great honour. Riis is no different.
Hey, we could compare Riis‘ results before 1993 to those afterwards. Is his improvement in climbing comparable to that of Geraint Thomas? I know some people are more angry about Geraint Thomas‘ Tour win than Bjarne‘s and I‘m sure there are plenty of people who would object to Riis and Pantani being similar in terms of comparisons. I would agree, though, to me you can compare people to Riis or Ricco or whoever, especially because this part of the forum is reserved for the actual racing and not the PED component.If Nibali (or Aru for that matter) were compared with Pantani, that too would be a great honour.

Look I'm serious here. I'm with my new favorite poster above. People that want to hate & clown can go straight to the clinic discussion with Rackham & Rackham's buddies. The title should be non-judgmental and to mention someone with ****** **** in the same sentence is the worst most insulting thing I can think of.I'd rather be confused with Riis or Rasmussen than Chris Harper to be honest.
