Thank you sir.

JTL would destroy El Purito.

Let´s see, it´s soon to say that

 

[maltiv]

I think Purito would've been able to drop Nathas Haas

 

[hrotha]

I think Purito would've been able to drop Nathas Haas

He means similar as in "similar type of rider with similar strong points", not as in "as good as Purito". I'm amazed how often people get the two confused.

 

[ebandit]

and.............

and i'm just like jens voigt..........................'s shadow

good luck to jtl though hope to see him off the front in the coming world's road race

:facepalm:

 

[El Pistolero]

I haven't seen aything from him on steep stuff.

 

[ebandit]

steep

I haven't seen aything from him on steep stuff.

jtl excells on very steep but short british climbs

my thought would be 'how will he do on longer alpine type climbs of lower percentage rise'

then you didn't watch haut var

 

[El Pistolero]

then you didn't watch haut var

Haut-Var, the typical Purito race - Lol.

Haut-Var was just a bunch of guys off form versus a guy in form.

 

[brilleaben]

A seperate JTL forum section is inevitable with all the threads being created about the wonder.

 

[Duartista]

Haut-Var, the typical Purito race - Lol.

Haut-Var was just a guys off form versus a guy in form.

Actually, the second stage was a classic 'Murito' stage. Except that it was over 200km long and wasn't flat for the most part, of course.

yeah whatever

Strictly tyle-wise, I'd compare him to Contador rather than Rodriguez. Once he's out the saddle he moves a lot like AC

Contador's style is a lot smoother and more beautiful to watch at than JTL.

 

[Sophistic]

i always thought of him as a mix of pantani, indurain and kasparov.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Maybe you and AC should get a room

No love for John Lennon?

 

[sublimit]

JTL does seem to have spent a lot of looking around this time, probably looking for Haas, Howard and where his teamates were. In those earlier races he just went and burned everybody off.

If Sky can sort his position on the bike out he could be dangerous.

 

[jens_attacks]

he has the legs of cobo and the upper body of contador
basically,unstoppable.

 

[SpannerBender]

"I'm similar to Rodríguez"

Let's hope he can ITT and not get mugged on the flat then

 

[Praetor]

I'd say he will end up being similar to Visconti.

Not that he's the same type with the same strengths and weaknesses, but that he's too strong to be "just" a continental rider but that he's not exceptional enough to become a relevant figure on world tour level.

This thread is hilarious. Please continue.
