I am sure (although I don't know) he never said that he could win the Tour this year or something like that. His comments were likely referring to the eventual possibility of him challenging for GT wins in the future, which would be fair, imo.Red Rick said:If he's really smart I doubt he can't understand why he's not a favorite for a GT.
As he said that he might surprise himself in the coming mountain stages, I'd say he's realistic about his chances in the big GT climbs ... but I like that he's going at it positively.Red Rick said:If he's really smart I doubt he can't understand why he's not a favorite for a GT.

Completely unstoppable in Itzulia.
Ofcourse, guys like Sivakov, Lambrecht... are 3 years younger. In U23 ranks, that's a huge difference.Mayomaniac said:(a stacked field with Frankiny, Mas, Padun, Reyes, Ravasi, Aguirre, him, Sivakov, Jose Luis Rodriguez and Bjorg Lambrecht in the top 10)
That thread had a good timing. You could kinda see this coming with his great showing in Catalunya, but still, chapeau for making this thread before these mutant performances.tobydawq said:This guy has won 40 percent of all stages in WorldTour stage races since I opened this thread.

I made it after stage 1 of Catalunya, so I didn't have much evidence from that race. It was more his Strade performance that was insane.Valv.Piti said:That thread had a good timing.

Er, no?Koronin said:Another stage win today. Very impressive at the Tour of Basque Country.

I'm pretty sure from an earlier discussion that "he" is a "she".Logic-is-your-friend said:I think he's a day behind due to timezones?tobydawq said:Er, no?Koronin said:Another stage win today. Very impressive at the Tour of Basque Country.

You can't be more than 13 hours behind Spanish time. It's about midday on the American eastern coast right now.Logic-is-your-friend said:I think he's a day behind due to timezones?tobydawq said:Er, no?Koronin said:Another stage win today. Very impressive at the Tour of Basque Country.
Yea, in Vegas it is 9 am when the races usually finish in Spain. Though I thought Maximillian won as well at first when I was readying the results on ProCycling Stats.tobydawq said:You can't be more than 13 hours behind Spanish time.

Sure, but you can't expect people's days to revolve around this race. So if she still didn't have a chance to see "yesterday's race, today", then she'd effectively be a day behind. As, as it turns out, was the case. IIRC, Koronin also said (maybe in a different thread) that she was recording the race to watch later.tobydawq said:You can't be more than 13 hours behind Spanish time.

The stage wasn't completely over at that point, but it was in a definitive phase.Koronin said:Sorry was catching up on yesterday's stage when I posted that. Don't think today's stage was over at that point. (Also got a little behind due to some major computer problems yesterday. Problems hopefully are now fixed.)
Yes I'm a she.

Would be such a waste of time and talent.Sestriere said:These last two stages have been promising signs for Schachmann for the future. I think he exceded the expectations of most people climbing-wise. What makes it more impressive is that he can seemingly ride at a high pace, even drop several times and come back, over a longer period of time. It seems that his engine is suitable to these kind of stages which makes me want to believe that, if he can improve his overall climbing step by step, he could also defend himself well in the very high ground of the Grand Tours.
