idkflicker said:which of those two were cleaner in your opinion?
Dekker_Tifosi said:idk
it was more the way Rebellin won his biggest races. ESpecially when in 2004 he was wheelsucking a stronger Boogerd and everytime got past him in the last 150m... I still have trauma's from that.
I saw both races live at the finish and two times I saw Boogerd had the gap uphill and both times Rebellin got back on the flat part on top of the Cauberg and the hill in Ans and passed him

flicker said:I agree. I loved Boogerds style he rode out in the wind and led up the climbs.
Rebellin was a moonshadow in every ride I ever saw him in. Just a little wisp at the end blasting through on the power climbs. A bogus classics rider, like Pozatto, the same mold of negative riding.

Emilia again is possible with the devaluation of that race in the past years.

It is, CCC is also invited to Lombardia, but i doubt RCS will let him race it. But if he does, i think he also has a small shot there.

It's a disgrace the way Horner and Rebellin are treated but younger cyclists with the same alleged past are welcomed with open arms.
