The official Magnus Sheffield is not from Sheffield Thread

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

This young talent just won Brabanste Pijl today and has other notable career results like a stage win at Ruta del Sol and 3rd at Yorkshire Junior Worlds. Heres to a successful career that kicked off today.

Awesome to see an American rider with a significant win! Team tactics played a huge role, but obviously really strong today. Still 19? Amazing.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

strong!

I kept an eye on him since his very good ride in Harrogate supporting Simmons. Didn't think he would be such a force in his first WT year but Ineos obviously knows better. They have a very interesting group of riders for the Classics in the next years.

 

[Lequack]

He deserves his own thread after today for sure. Great future ahead of him.

Magnus looks to be a versatile rider with a great engine. At only 19, he's shown he already belongs at the world tour level. His recent American predecessors Quinn Simmons and Brandon McNulty have shown promise, but Sheffield's ceiling might even be higher. Maybe?

That's a big win for a 19-year-old. Would be a big win in at least 90% of the peloton's palmares, but for an almost newcomer especially, very impressive.

This should be "The Magnus Sheffield is not Scandinavian" thread!

The change has been made.

Dude has a right engine. Surly a great chance of winning a bigger classic on this showing?

 

[jmdirt]

Congrats MS!

Wouldn't it be better to inform that he doesn't come from Sheffield?

Yep. I knew he was one to keep an eye on in Harrogate, but he was simply the the most impressive rider in that race. Since then i kind of expected him early. Today he was again impressive.

Seems to be a much more mature character than Simmons as well which is a good thing

He's a year younger as well. He was a 1st year junior back then while Simmons was 2nd year.

Showed some good climbing legs in the final stage of Ruta de Sol, although he seemed to pace the climb quite poorly (absolutely flew in the back half) so I guess that will come with experience. He's privated the power on the ride now, but February last year, he did a power test and did 454w for 28:43 (6.26 w/kg going off his strava weight). If he gets the opportunity he could do well in the Tour de L'avenir GC, even though he's a big built guy he's just got ridiculous raw power to compensate.

Both!

from 13.04.2022, Sheffield Wednesday will be remembered as something different than a mediocre English football club.

 

[Boes]

Can anybody give me some insight on his skills?
It's obvious he feels well on short hills and perhaps even on cobbles. Does he have a good sprint? How will he do on longer hills like LBL? Or even on mountains?

A guy with a big engine who pushes big numbers. That's what i know. Iirc he also has done some track in the past.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I'm here for the outrage when Ineos start making him work like Kwiatkowski in the TDF.

That will be a very sad day.

Wow, I didn't realize he was 1.83. I thought he was much shorter than that, but I guess it was just him riding next to Turner that made me think that. He seems build for the hardmen's classics then. Ineos really has some classics team for the future.

Hopefully they will use them for the classics as well instead of trying to turn them into GC domestique drones.

What about the Pello Bilbao thread. We know he looks like a cramp, but does he come from Bilbao?
