Teams & Riders Thibaut Pinot discussion thread

[Red Rick]

He broke his PB on Ballon d'Alsace so the back must be cured, seems unlikely he would be able to do that otherwise.

Forget AdH climbing records.

This is the record that matters

For some reason my brain decided to add a few more letters to that, and decide that PB probably stood for Planche des Belles Filles. He broke it! He just broke the damn mountain. Also; it's his! His mountain, no one elses!

How could he break one mountain while riding on a completely different one? That would be Tibonuclear!

My brain glitched...

But I'm pretty many sure people on the forum and Jumbo-Visma would've appreciated it if he had wiped out LPdBF completely.

But probably not the people who were at the mountain...

I think it's Pogacar's.

PDBF?

I vaguely remember

It must be in my "to nuke" list somewhere.

Thibaut is such a nice guy. He will nuke climbs to spare you the effort.

Pogacar has never broken Pinots personal bests.

Pogacar has never broken Pinots personal bests.

He has won Tours, though.

What's a Tour or two in comparison to RhD's heart.

What's a Tour or two in comparison to RhD's heart.

Good question, both are positively ancient.

On the PDBF, it would be Tibogacar

He felt good today, was in front, bigger gears than what he has done lately, sore legs but TP is in good spirits. Tough stage tomorrow that will tell us where he stands condition wise.

I read the last page...the troll is still there, isn't he? Me too...two new jobs and three houses later, my bike is out of the storage unit, back in the garage, just tuned up. I live again!

I can like them both, and a bunch of others.

Also, Toby, you might wanna read this article really carefully:

Pinot: 'I still have a little bit of pride, a little bit of ego' - CyclingTips

See this bit:

Although he rode onto the Tour podium all the way back in 2014, he is still only 31, after all.

He's only 31. Quite young.

Even great riders can make honest mistakes.

For me?

 

[RedheadDane]

What mistake did Pinot make? He is 31, that is a fact. Pretty sure the "only 31" bit came from the author of the article - Dane Cash - and who am I to argue with a guy named 'Dane Cash'? Especially when he speaks the truth.

such potential...

Says a lot about the expectations towards the guy that people are acting like his - quite frankly very respectful palmares - are a let-down.

Dane Cash sounds sound a lot like a made up name though. Pinot is not too old, but if you really think Elissonde is a youngster, then you simply must be a lost cause anyway

You did say RhD's heart was ancient? Time to be cut up and frozen!

I'm nice! At least I only take his citizenship...

Frozen first, then cut: much cleaner

 

[lenric]

well he's still very young by Volta a Portugal standards
