Tim Merlier Thread

[Armchair Cyclist]

Jens Voigt said the other day that Jonathan Milan is his clear favorite for TDF wins, jersey, points, ect..not me!!

In fairness, I don't think many of us have you down as a likely winner of TdF sprints. What is your head to head record against Milan?

I have never beat him!! I will ask Jens Voigt about my chances as soon as I finish my beer, cheesecake and potato chip breakfast casserole, still waiting for the butter to melt!!
I vacationed in Milan briefly but don't believe ever sprinted against anyone with that name.
Don't know if reality TV is as big worldwide as US, but could definitely see a show with... Joes vs Pros having appeal. ..
If I am paid for my humiliation I will race Jonathan Milan at the time and place of his choosing..I will likely be sponsored by deodorant brand, beer and tequila manufacturers, Ozempic and Alpecin on my kit!! He can keep Trek and grocery store..
This could work!! Given events of last days, some humor, even at my expense is needed!!

I presume you will have won a big packet today on the 'horse'.

If there were any doubts,

Tim is the fastest. Such a beautiful slingshot in bunch sprints. I'm happy he can show his talent at world's biggest race.

Great sprint after a tough day. Congrats.

GREAT sprint TM!
Patience, power, and speed!

He always executes it to perfection man. I've never enjoyed watching a sprinter so much, even Sagan.

Pity his teams have wasted his talents by not taking him to the TDF. Two editions is not enough.
