isn't it time to change the thread title? leave Merckx out of the discussion

True, Merckx never even become a WC TT champion. Let alone win an Olympic Gold medal.

That WC didn't exist and the Olympics were an amateur competition until the 90s in which only under-23s participated.

Rider thread titles are just there to catch a moment in time, and that's perfectly fine.

This didn't age worse than my "Rohan Dennis Threat" title.

Not sure about that. He’ll do the descent a couple of times pre-MSR, but I doubt he would really train it

why not?

Out of Merckx, Pogacar, Remco, only Remco has rocked the goatee.
Nuff said.

Because he thinks he is good enough in descending. He’s arrogant that way
