Hi, I did confused remco with spilak for quite a long time, but since his great performance in Liege I have a lot more respect for him and he went up in my estimations, he is a great rider.Don't feed the troll. This is coming from a guy that seems to confuse Remco with Spilak or Wout with Pozzato.
Masnada is a rider that can be a great domestique but will never be more. The Giro he succeeded in 9th place but actually he droppped early on most climbs and ended up climbing on his own tempo both keeping him up in GC and effectivly made sure he didn't have to do any hard climbing for leader Almeida.
I sence a bit of Italian envy for the great generation of Belgian riders.
Wout as a Belgian Pozzato is more accurate. He underperformed in monuments due to his defensive racing and lack of tactical intelligence, despite being an incredible talent.
Masnada is more than a gregario please , watch the lombardia where he made pogacar worried.
I never said I am Italian and I am not patriotic.
You obviously don't know the career of Masnada ans his story and what obstacles he overcame.We all do.
Yes, as a helper for Remco.
He's a nice rider and has a few nice results. He's not done anywhere near enough to warrant GC leadership on a team. Sorry. What has he won? Not much.
Well I say it because it's his best result in a GT. He's done nothing close to it before. He's done 20th, 28th, not sure what else. So he's improving, which is great.
What is Remco? One of the biggest talents in the peloton, winner of many, many races. Look, these guys are on the same team. The team knows who the talent is between them, as does anyone with a functioning set of eyes. It's not a debate, I hate to tell ya.
