I think Slovenians are pioneering it.

It's gonna be a crowd so huge, that it could only ever be matched if Dorian Godon were to win a third successive Cheese Race!

Colombians definitely did it too.
Can't remember if Brits did it.
I assume they didn't do it in 2014. 17 riders would've been a crowd...

A shame Champoussin isn't in the race, otherwise he could have been named the Niceist rider

Cycling is LifeMy dad has a plaque on the wall of the USA Cycling Hall of Fame. He rode in the late '30s and early '40s. I was Literally raised on the sport.
I was too. My father rode. I wasn’t around for Merckx but came of age with Hinault.

I just dont understand why some are so upset about Cavendish getting the record or not.
Or why compare him to Eddy.

Pogacar with one yellow, and one white shoe.
Surely he should be wearing a polka-dot helmet to complete the image.

Yeah.
Comparing to Pogačar is a lot more appropriate... Contemporaries.
The kid has only 5 TDF stage victories.

Merckx was Froome, Contador, Valverde, Cancellara, and Boonen combined together. No reason to hate.He's NO Eddy Mercx. How many GTs has he won? None and Never will. He's a Great sprinter period. How many Momuments has he won? One and One Worlds. Mercx won 11 GTs and 19 Monuments. Let that sink in.
The Disregard for the Greats the sport has seen over 100 years is discounted so much on this board. Must be a bunch of youngsters here
EDIT: And Eddy sure as heck didn't need 4 teammates nursing him in so he wouldn't be over the Time Limit every time the road went up. No OTL watches for Eddy.

Not really upset, but I dont personally consider Cavendish one of cycling greats regardless. When I think of great riders, its versatile riders than can do lots of stuff and not just put their nose in the wind for the last 200 metres. Boonen, Cancellara, Valverde, Nibali, Gilbert, Contador, Armstrong, Ullrich etc. etc. I all consider better riders for sure, and thats just one the top of my head from riders I grew up watching.

It gives one a different perspective than the normal fan. I adored Bernard
I came of age with Anquetil.TRENDING THREADS
