It's still kinda sad. Pogacar won a race today. Instead of talking about that in his thread, they're here talking about remco.
I dunno, i just find that a bit sad.

He actually said 2022-2023 Remco would cook Pogacar on the flat and drop him on RaF. Like 2022-2023 Pogacar, the guy who dropped MVP in RVV is similar to Lutsenko or Madouas to be cooked on the flat... but in this thread, "logic is not present"

Well it would be typical Remco to complete the hour record in less than an hour.

This is probably the only reason why Pog is so dominant. He found a way to bend the space time continuum.

well we don't know of course.
but he dropped him on a hill at the 2021 euros...(when remco was still not fully back from Lombardia crash), so it's not really that difficult to surmise this could happen again before the 2024 transformation.
the only thing being pointed out was pog pre-2024 was very good, but also human and beatable. I will agree with all you pog fans that since the start of 2024, that is no longer the case.
I really do not understand what drives pog fans crazy about these data-driven observations? It's as if they cannot be satisfied with pog winning everything for two years, they feel obliged to make an alternate history where pog was always this. I hate to break it to you -- that is simply not factual.
I am impressed! I stated my opinion about Remco and the way he race and you twisted that to be a post about Pogi versue Remco. You know, I can have an opinion about Remco without mentioning Pogi. I am a remarkable old man....), you only lose vs Pog

1 - Remco being similar to Pogacar in long climbs (unipuerto stages)
2 - Remco could cook Pogacar on the flat (because he somewhat did it against Lutsenko or other lesser riders)
These takes are completely ridiculous. And you are talking about data? You try to act like you have an impartial opinion (you can't) but as we can see, you defend what is not defensible unless (for example) you also think Remco was as good as Pogacar in unipuerto stages with long MTF.

I literally made no mention of long climbs.
Also pointed out that before 2024 Remco did cook pog even on a climb.
Pog fans literally cannot compute that there is a difference between pre-and post 2024 pog. Or maybe they simply note that to admit it shows some doubts.
Lol. Just listening to the cycling podcast, and the guy on it talks about the difference in Pog over the last two years. As well, as the fact that the viewership on TV has gone down precipitously. No one believes what they’re watching anymore.
Also, again, your posts could be verbatim from the Armstrong era. human nature is truly fascinating. Speaking of delusional thinking.

People keep misunderstanding the thread title. DNP Old followed it up with a thread hyping Marco Brenner as being the next Evenepoel, but I guess it was because DNP's secretly a German. It was not meant to be taken litteral since no one really expected anyone to dominate racing like Merckx did ever again.

I wish Trey Parker and Matt Stone were cycling fans so they could make whole South Park season off the different cycling threads. I’ll be Clyde, @RedheadDane can play herself since she’s already has the character.
On Evenepoel I hope he can keep getting closer to Pogacar in GdL to hopefully set up some fun classics and monuments next year.

The "8 minutes" keeps getting dredged up. No one rider beat Pogacar on that day; he bonked when there were still 30 guys in the field going through a lower village. No attacks, no heroic efforts by anyone at that point. Vindegaard could be seen looking around and checking with his DS via radio before he set off to "bury" that dead horse....the one you keep flogging.

Can't remember the last time i even mentioned this, if ever. So by replying to it, it is you who is flogging it, rather than me no? Also, i can't help but wonder why you would feel the need to reply at all when the point of the post clearly eludes you.

Dude wants to make fun of Belgian delusions, please let him. Too funny.
DNP-Old was Dutch/Columbian.

I always took it as a riff on the Wilco Kelderman is the New Merckx thread.
Seemed to me like both a joke, given the number of "next Merckx's" we've heard of, and expression of fond hope.

I think this is a good way to end the conflict between Evenepoel and Pogacar fans:
In 1985, Ben Healy and Marcel Kittel released a video of how the differences between Evenepoel at QuickStep and Pogacar at UAE came to be. Watch the video on youtube.

There is one very important aspect where Remco pre-2024 was clearly better than Pogacar pre-2024 and that is 'being talked about' as is proven by an undeniable statistic on this forum.
At 01/01/2024 the page counts for the threads were as followed:

They have less view though. Maybe UAE should invest in some Indian click farms to get those views up.
Those stats will be proven wrong somehow to make it look like Remco is winning. Maybe down to his weight.

The Pogačar thread gained moumentum in late February of last year for some reason (406 pages vs. 922 (the stats obviously don't include all the posts that have been deleted before and since then)).
