It is likely someone posted this when it came out. Came over my feed and I thought it was pretty great. The scene in the restaurant when the family and friends see his Lombardia crash is painful to watch but made easier now that we know how it has turned out:

I was struck by how similar his “attack” in Burgos in 2020 was to his “attack” in La Vuelta on stage 6. Just accelerating a touch until no one or few can follow.

Strange how big difference there are in how some riders initiates debate. Gilbert, one of the top classics riders after 2000 only has 685 posts. Valverde has over 8k. Evenepoel over 12k.

The Gilbert thread started in September of 2012 after he won the World Championship. From the thread:

Philippe Gilbert: Winner of the Ardennes triple, 2 time winner of AGR, winner of San Sebastian, 2 time winner of Paris-Tours, 2 time winner of Giro di Lombardia. 9 total Classic wins and 16 podiums in the classics. And now...

A world champion

It's an outlier. Remco's thread started when he was a Junior? Gilbert had been riding as a Junior, U23, or Pro for 13 years before his thread started and was already a legend. Also, he wasn't a GT guy, which seems to cause a great deal of the discussion here.

Lefevere needs to be really careful when he rates Remco‘s current value as „100 millions“… Remco was good, but:

LBL has been won by Maxim Iglinskiy before. The Vuelta was once won by Papy Horner. And even Kwiatkowski once became World Champion.

So we have to wait and see what Remco will deliver in a TdF against Vingegaard. And don‘t forget, Vinge let Pogi look like a CT rider on Granon and Hautacam… Vinge in 2022 brought Pogi‘s decline. Will Jonas in 2023 bring Remco‘s decline?…

Tadej Pogacar is a good rider, but:
The tour has been won by Oscar Pereiro before. Tirreno-Adriatico was once won by Filippo Pozzato. And even Moreno Moser once became Strade winner.

Pogacar once was 3rd in Vuelta, so was Peter Velits.
Pogacar won Lombardia, so did Olivier Zaugg.
Pogacar won in Montreal, so did legendary Lars Petter Nordhaug.

Pogi is having one hell of a decline with 15 wins this season.

Well, have those riders mentioned above all three win all of those races in one season? Absolutely not. Jonas vs Pogi is going to be a generational battle, and throw Remco in there and there is not a better generation for GC riders. Pogi is not decling, respectfully stop your trolling.
