Mancebo in the Pog era

[BahamontesPhantom]

Francisco Mancebo had 5 top 10 finishes in the tour from 2000-2005 (9,13,7,10,6,4)
Could he replicate this run in 2020-2025? Does he do better or worse? Can he go better than 4th?

I have no answer apart from I rate this thread 5/7 perfect score

Bored of Pog vs Merckx and Nibali vs Valverde let's bring Mancebo for a change

Mancebo has won a national level MTT this year the day before his 50th birthday and he must have been twice as good when he was half as old, so I‘d say Pogačar is lucky (unsurprisingly) that Superstar Mancebo isn‘t in his prime right now taking Tours left and right.

Since this thread is so random.

Take him out of 2000-2005, no he couldn’t. If he has all the upgrades in everything maybe he does. Heck maybe he wins.

Unpopular opinion, any legit gt rider from the 90ies and late 2000s would be a top dog the current era if given access to current preparation, training, nutrition and so on, way deeper talent pool back then.

Mayo, I couldn't decide if I should use the WOW! or laughing emoji because I'm not sure if you are serious here. You are joking right?

Comparing eras is pointless IMO. Apples to printer cartridges.
