The Gianni Moscon Bandwagon Jumping Thread

[hrotha]

Even if it's the police, nothing easier than claiming you didn't see nuffin'.

 

[Lo squalo di messina]

I just read an interview with alaphilippe in belgian newspaper de standaard where he basically confirms that moscon has a bad name in the peloton and doesnt show any respect to fellow riders.
However he was also quick to add that he didnt see the reichenbach incident and only heard about it.

Wouldn't be surprised if Sky mandate sessions with Steve Peters soon.

5th in Roubaix and 3rd in Lombardia, you can only hate him as a person because he's a racist, a cheater and maybe also something worse but it's a feat probably unseen since Sean Kelly in the 80s.

Tafi managed to win both.

Somehow.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yeah, he is a pretty awesome rider. Not a huge fan, but credit where credit is due. So many great young all-rounders now.

You're forgetting Gilbert.
RvV 3rd, Amstel 1st, Lombardia 1st (2010)

if Nibali was riding Roubaix, it could be interesting given his performance in this epic Tour stage.

Tafi managed to win both.

Somehow.

But within three years, not in the same season.
Kelly podiumed both for two consecutive season.

Bartoli was 21st for his only Paris-Roubaix and won three monuments.He probably could have done better at Roubaix.

Oh, ok. I didn't quite get what you meant the first time.

I think Tafi was on the podium in Roubaix in 1996 so he is still the last one to do so in the same year.

 

[hrotha]

It's not like "Roubaix+Lombardy" is a thing so honestly all this shows is that Moscon is very versatile, which isn't saying much.

"Lo Sceriffo" won both Roubaix and Lombardia during the same year. Actually 1st at Roubaix and Lombardia - 2nd WC - 3rd Giro in 1978

By the way, Roubaix was the standard course and Lombardia was a Milano-Como (similar, but not exactly like the current one) The world championship was tough at Nurburgring.

Was the run in that flat in '96, or does the profile just miss Bergamo Alta?

It looks pretty flat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcjYXf5tDcY

Re: Re:

I could come up with an equally "interesting" story.
Reichenbach had an accident in his own, but FDJ took the opportunity to blame it on Moscon seeking revenge for the Reza affair, as they think the guy was not punished for what he said at the time.

Sound like the most likely version ....

so basically you are saying Sebastian Reichenbach is making a false accusation (as he went on to press criminal charges against Moscon) .....

In fact, Reichenbach doesn't even exist. He is merely a projection of your own witchhunt against San Gianni. It's Reza's own fault he is black and he should be called out for it and it's the team car who held on to the entity that is called Moscon. A crash? How can you can make someone crash when said person doesn't even exist?

I call for a wake in the name of Gianni Moscon. A wake held in one of Rupert Murdoch's summer houses, a wake in which will be announced that if anyone ever has the guts to call out Gianni Moscon, the true leader of (wo)men, he gets imprisoned and can rot to death like anyone else who doesn't fit into the sacred values of xenophobia, bigotry and class war the Murdoch empire holds so dear.

#Moscondidnothingwrong
Jokes aside, that was an impressive performance, but he should just let his legs do the talking for him, he's geetting a bit too many enemies, even if the sprint today wasn't really dirty.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Putting aside all the controversy for a second, which of course needs sorting, another very good ride today. Massive talent, just needs to grow up and learn from his mistakes.

 

[Pippo_San]

Say what. I wasn't 100% on the bandwagon but after today, where he relegated those French Fries out of the podium.
Man.
Let's fire up this 2018 Gianni.
FULL PUNK MODE please. We needed a bad guy with awesome legs like you.

Right on. The inner chimp is obviously out of control.

 

[May0maniac]

We should send him to Paris as the new ambassador, he'd probably start a war in no time.
