Gianni or Florian?Vermeersch
I feel like both have been 2021 revelations already so I don't know how good they need to be in 2022 to really be revelations too. Top3 classics riders in the world probably. The same applies to Ayuso and Cosnefroy to an even bigger extent. Expectations are already so high of them so they would really need to reach a level of someone like Van Aert or Pogacar, otherwise they're just performing as expected, not revelations.
This is pretty much the most clever thing written in this thread.But it's never the ones you think of.
We're reaching some sort of logical paradox here. Someone asks who will surprise next year and then a bunch of people start mentioning the same names all over again. Obviously a rider who gets mentioned like that will NOT be a revelation, but just someone who takes a totally expected step forward.
