Belgians. They are Belgians.

The Dutch are a different kettle of fish alltogether.

I was talking about Gargamess

 

[Gargamel35]

48, 15, 8.
Technically he was losing Less and Less. So following YOUR pattern, he was getting better and Roglic worse.
Unless you suggest Romeco wouldn't be able to finish in a 30 man group, containing GT winners like Omar Goldstein.

8s with R. crash and fake flat tyre. Sure.

 

[Gargamel35]

The crash yesterday was his fault, 100%. The one in the Tour was tough, but everyone else in that group missed the bale. I think you're quite right, his attention clearly slips at times. It's unfortunate, he's a great rider and personality otherwise.

No they didn't.

 

[Gargamel35]

rEmcO wOuLd LoSE tImE i'm sURe oF iT

you dutch Sourgrapes always make me smile.

No dutch here, sorry. And i still like them more then butt hurt Belgians.

8s with R. crash and fake flat tyre. Sure.

Why did you need to go down to troll level?
Fake flat tyre because he would've been dropped by a group of 30 people... As you said "Sure".

Because Belgiums here troll all the time to hype up some Remco guy who still needs to finish first GT and was loosing time stage after stage already.

Go to bed Gargamel, it's a school night.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

The guy which seems most butthurt is you tho.

 

[yaco]

Meh. Woulda coulda shoulda. Roglič unfortunately crashed and would have had trouble hanging on to the group. Crash was his own fault. That's racing.

We were discussing the potential stage outcomes if Roglic was still in the race - It was most likely a day for the break BUT Jumbo may have paced if Roglic was still in the race.

That same Remco guy that you talk about already won a LBL, two CSS, 1 Tour of Poland, 5 medals in European/World Championships including one gold, 1 stage in the Vuelta plus 11 days in red and is currently siting in third in the World Tour ranking at the age of 22. But sure, he is just an overhyped guy...

 

[tobydawq]

But this overshadows the most important thing today: we actually saw Haimar Zubeldia win a race. My mind is blown.

Uh?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Urán must be the big favourite now, considering he took back five minutes in just one stage. So in two days time he'll surely be in the lead.

In terms of GT racing absolutely.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

its logical Gargamel is like this, he hates smurfs and Remco Evenepoels size makes him closest to a smurf

He's (in) red, though.

 

[Boes]

First remark: Lol @you calling Belgian butt hurt when you're the only going all calimero on Remco
Second: So French then. Better wave that big white flag of yours

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Uh?

Uran has pulled many Zubeldia efforts to get a GT placings. He doesn’t win often, so it was a nice sight to see.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He's (in) red, though.

He must be Papa Smurf then.

 

[KZD]

Funny that you base your argument in a Giro that was not only Remco's first Grand Tour but also one that he rode after 9 months without any racing caused by a major injury because in this Vuelta he has been delivering everything that was expected from him.

Uran has pulled many Zubeldia efforts to get a GT placings. He doesn’t win often, so it was a nice sight to see.

He also has pulled off many GT podiums, won stages in all Grand Tours, gotten a medal at the Olympics and is an infinitely more charismatic figure than Zubeldia and one of the most beloved riders in Colombia, if not the most popular outright.

He even won on the WorldTour (ProTour) as an almost-teenager way before that was cool.

Which part of "he's completely unproven in GT's" didn't you understand?

Well now he isn't... and I don't see you using the same argument with Ayuso or Rodriguez, for example.

at what point in his career did Rigo stark speaking of himself in the third person?

He still didn't finish even one GT. No one hypes Ayuso or Rodriguez as the next jesus, so i see no problem there.

Sure, but that was a long time ago. In his later career he's been absolutely super-ninja, which is all the more striking when you consider what he was from 2008 through to about 2015. In recent years he's been dressed in neon pink and sat in GC top 10s all year round, but if you removed him from the race not even Vaughters would have noticed he was missing. I thought the side of him that we saw today had been lost to time and he was going into the same late career void of ninjadom as Samuel Sánchez did, so it was nice to see he is still capable of this.
