Is Jelle Vanendert a better climber than Evans, the Schlecks, Contador?

I would say not, but what counts is who climbs fastest when they race.

If all in peak form then my ranking would be Berto > Andy > Evans > Frank > Vanendert.

In current form, I have no idea.

Can this coincide with the drop of SKY performance later this year? Or maybe not:eek:

Perhaps you should put this in a thread of it's own as I don't see how this particularly equates with sky, I know it is the vogue to accuse Sky without evidence, so it is just a thought.

How rude, if you're gonna use play school insults you can at least get it right, it's Skybot, Gosh! You know, there's like a boat-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bow staff.

Why would an 'explosive' climber attack from a long way out against a 'turbo diesel'? Makes no sense

It depends on what kind of explosive climber you are talking about. Purito doesn't have the big engine and endurance to hold a gap and possibly increase a gap over 5 km plus say (having said that he has done this in the past). Someone like, say Contador, Quintana or the Schlecks can make a gap and hold it. It puts the pressure on the diesels to go above their limit. Also if a few riders chip off the front and form a group they can work together.
