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.

PDBF?
I vaguely remember
It must be in my "to nuke" list somewhere.
Pogacar has never broken Pinots personal bests.Thibaut is such a nice guy. He will nuke climbs to spare you the effort.

He has won Tours, though.
What's a Tour or two in comparison to RhD's heart.

Although he rode onto the Tour podium all the way back in 2014, he is still only 31, after all.
such potential...I can like them both, and a bunch of others.
Also, Toby, you might wanna read this article really carefully:

See this bit:
He's only 31. Quite young.
Good question, both are positively ancient.

For me?Knife and freezer at the ready.
Even great riders can make honest mistakes.

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