Re: Re:
I doubt anyone can back that against anyone.
Classics ands GTs are different fields and deserve to be treated as such. But I think we can all agree that winning a GT however weak the opposition is requires far more sacrifice and effort than winning a classic.
Valverde is pure talent, a truly gifted rider, excels at all fields... who wins Classics but falls just a bit short of GTs. That should serve as an idea of the point Im trying to make.

Has Valverde won a World Championship? No.
A rainbow jersey is better than the Vuelta, just ask Nibali.

And winning the points jersey in the TdF 3 times is better than winning 4 GTs + 1 monument, just ask SlovakFan12345.
Your point?
