Is banking much of an issue if you are simply following the black line? (Genuine question, no knowledge of being on a track at all)
It's some G forces you're not gonna be used to as a pure road rider, so being a trackie should normally help, in combination with it basically being like 450ish 180 degree turns this wya.

I doubt it would be a make or break issue though.

By the end of his career...God willing. I don't want to argue either, and will not; I only like conversations.

He's #45
If he doubles the points, he will finish #6
 
What's the difference between pcs and the other ranking? Which one is more official and professional?

Selecting a ranking that fits your narrative?

I did not bother to go into the debate, cause i already know it would be like talking to a wall. I'm pretty sure the people were talking against the person on my ignore list. and he's on ignore for a reason. Don't mind adding more if needed. I don't mind constructive critiscm/realism. But people just trying to bring down a cyclist and their fans cause they dislike said rider and their fans are pointless for me to go into a discussion with.
 
Just people trying to do their best to put down a cyclist they don't like, Red Rick.
They'll be attacking everything and everywhere they see a glimmer of a chance to do so.
Jesus, you have a guy here saying Remco will be top3 in the end of his career
Do you know what this even means?
Pogacar
Hinault
Merckx
What are the odds Remco will be better than one of these riders?
 
I don't understand the sudden obsession with PCS rankings and at this point I am too afraid to ask.
I think just as a way to justify vibes or an inherently subjective topic (GOAT). Trouble is all the points rankings put someone like Roglic way ahead of Nibali and Contador (eg) cause of his one week stage dominance, whereas Contador to me has much the better palmares and Roglic/Nibali is balanced and open to debate according to whatever you think is more important.

In essence, I think it's totally useless.
 
I think i said i see him somewhere between top 10 and Top 25 when all is said and done. Which was my only contribution to the ranking conversation. (and remco has his work cut out for that to be true)

That does not change the validity of the point i just made.
The discussion isn't rly about where Remco will rank for some people ultimately.
It's about bringing a cyclist down a peg or two.

How something is conveyed matters at times almost as much as what is being conveyed. the motives off some people are clear.

You seem to be out of argument when discussing facts.

Top 10 to 25 at which list? Pcs or your preferred one?
