I'm only familiar with the pronounciation because Timon and Pumba were Flemish in the Dutch dub of the Lion KingLequack said:Deceuninck is really hard to pronounce (or write even). Just my opinion.

RedheadDane said:How many of their riders have never won a race?
Asgreen, Declercq, Evenepoel, Honoré, Knox, Serry.
Anyone I'm missing?
Pro-races, obviously. Sorry, Remco.
He's won one UCI race. In 2005 as a 20 year old, the year before he turned pro.tobydawq said:RedheadDane said:How many of their riders have never won a race?

Fabio Sabatini.
You won't give Marangoni his first ever win in his last ever race last year?tobydawq said:Okay, but I don't count .2 races.
But that's the eternal discussion...![]()

Oh, both Declerq and Asgreen actually have two wins each and Honoré one (all .2 races). I guess RedheadDane doesn't count .2 races either, which makes Sabatini a legitimate addition. Serry, Knox and Evenepoel are the ones without any kind of individual pro win.
Touché. :lol:tobydawq said:Squire said:You won't give Marangoni his first ever win in his last ever race last year?tobydawq said:Okay, but I don't count .2 races.

Nobody can do that since he won a stage in the .2 race, Giro del Friuli-Venezia-Giulia race in 2008.
Those kinds of statistics should always be taken with a huge pinch of salt when it comes from TV commentators. I remember how Liggett was going on about Contador riding his first Tour de France when he was winning in 2007.RedheadDane said:Okay, then I guess I'm counting Sabatini too. After all; this entire thing started because it was mentioned that Declercq has never had a win.

Fortunately, Brian Holm and Thomas Bay are more knowledgeable than that guy.
I know Lefevre counts them as victories, he also counted Keisse's Six-day wins and Viviani's wins on the track last year when he was tallying it up.RedheadDane said:tobydawq said:Squire said:Those kinds of statistics should always be taken with a huge pinch of salt when it comes from TV commentators.

Otoh… Holm also seemed to think that Senechal's earlier cat 2 races count.
Evenepoel, Knox and Jakobsen will go to the Giro. Bennett and Alaphilippe will go to the Tour. Those have been confirmed as far as i know. I guess it depends on who they want to send along with them. I assume they will send at least two guys specifically to support Jakobsen, and maybe a jack of all trades. Evenepoel and Knox are going for GC. I know Knox wanted to ride for himself, i assume they will let him and Remco help each other out as much as possible, without forfeiting their own chances. But they don't have a lot of experienced mountain domestiques... so i still wonder who they will send to the Tour and Giro.Do you have an idea who they are going to send to the Tour / the Giro? Will they put together a very young team at the Giro and send all the oldones to the Tour? Or will a grown-up watch their steps in the Giro?
