Teams & Riders The Big 6

[Oldman]

Would anyone deny that MVdP is a "Legend" of the sport at this point? Or at least that he will be when all said and done? I have him as a legend, whatever that means in my brain. Would I call Vingegaard a legend? I wouldn't. 3 Tours, probably. All 3 GT's, probably, but not unequivocally. So likely both are legends when all is said and done. But for me, MVdP has the more impressive domination of his domain at this point.

I really like MVdP and I really like classics. I don't dislike Vingegaard, but his personality and riding style do little for me. So I have bias. But I also would say that MVdP has an objectively more attacking style, a more committed style, and has wins which made me stand up and shout out loud watching, while Vingo...not so much. MVdP in my view has a better palmares in his discipline, and has a style and panache which make him a legend. Where Vingo is a great rider, but not terribly inspiring.

MVdP's World's win was against all of them except Jonas (who wouldn't have fared well). It was a tough, serious and a technical race crammed together. He even managed to soundly drop the remaining break companions, crash and finish solo in dominant style. Mega Panache'

Roglic going down this way too. We are soon to have Big 4, as in Tennis. Remco probably taking the Andy Murray role.

Seixas already better than Remco. Just has to supply the results.
