I was that handsome dude.Based on that angle I'd say you must have been right around where I was standing.

If the reference is Froome and Sagan he deserves more than that!
I think Evenepoel is fine athlete coming in his very own way atm, dunno if he needs to morph to a rock staresque like Sagan turned (naturally but still very positive way, allways keeping humble side of things). Evenepoel carries himself very nice now hopefully future too, I think sponsors can be happy with that. In this light I see him more like Froome type of athlete, even if it makes many here furious to make comparison like that.
He’s literally the opposite of Froome. An actual talent.From this trio Sagan is clearly above others and for a reason. Not lately sadly, but say during the prime of his career, up to 2017 kinda. On the bike, off the bike, on the road, off the road. Very complete package and that way worth every dollar or euro, imho.

Not to make it about Sagan but, for someone who's had Covid 3 times in a year his finish at Worlds was pretty astounding. I'd put an asterix on his last 2 seasons and next year we'll find out if he cares enough to go after it.From this trio Sagan is clearly above others and for a reason.

Sorting based on replieswe are on page 497.
Half of these posts were just people hoping he would fail lolSorting based on replies

Nibali -19119
Froome - 18758
Evenepoel - 12404
4th on the all time list at 22 but a lot of ground to cover to become forum conqueror.
Yeah, he's a class act. Preferred riding the last round with Keisse instead of competing.Looks like he really wants to finish side by side with Keisse.
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.Sorting based on replies

Looking at his belly hanging down with that jersey on, hope his wedding suit fits a little better.Yeah, he's a class act. Preferred riding the last round with Keisse instead of competing.
I think super fans are a big driver too. Contador and Remco do not lack in that department.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.

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
Tadej Pogacar is a good rider, but: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.
Small addition: here, Remco‘s belly seems to have grown:

Well deserved… Lefevere and van Mol will tell him when to stop…
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?…
