Vuelta a Murcia 2.1 (03/03 to 04/03)

So who is the best? Quintana, Duarte, Betancur, Henao, Uran? Pick one.

Actually rank them in order

The best part? You don't have to pick one. The Colombian's are coming. There'll be more than one at the top of the sport in 5 years.

That's... kind of racist.

I just thought the comparison was striking. A 22 year old boy looks exactly liken old Indian

Nothing to do with racism... Why are people so over-sensitive on this subject? I make no difference between people based on skin color or beliefs. You people see ghosts. Maybe it's because you are the one racistic?

Technically-you're right: Quintana's appearance resembles of an native american indian-the problem is with your picture,since you're posting a "north american native indian" which isn't quite the same as our Colombian indigenous inhabitants.
So-to put end to this matter, and for your cultural interest, here it is a picture of a Colombian native indian from the tribe called "tayrona" -they occupied the northern atlantic region, & this race survived the Spaniard Conquest & exists nowadays:

So who will win the most Grand Tours




I dont quite see the connection between being tall and being a mass murderer.

Though Pisti will no doubt come in in a sec with comments about how tall Stalin and mao and hitler were

if one of them will win the tour it's quintana. because of his mental and physical(for grand tours) talent

i agree quintana is the best as a climber , followed by duarte. nobody speaks about beltran, born 1990. he is a very strong climber and has progressed a lot in the last 3 years. i think that in colorado with steeper hills he would have astonished everybody.
quintana is also a better rouleur, so more suited for GC in GT.
probably he will be the first colombian to compete for the win in a GT, since uran and henao are with sky that has particular logic in choosing protected riders and duarte is not in a PT team and i am a little concerned about his recovery in a 3 week long race.
we will see if they will be able to break out

i think you are underrating betancourt, which was very impressive as a climber in giro bio and he confirmed his skills in finestre and emilia. he is very lazy and consequentl very variable in performance.i think he is underrated because he has an atypical structure for a colombian climber, with very big legs, very muscled, more similar to a sprinter. next year he will probably be at liquigas, so we will see-

I think betancourt is also amazing but I underrate him because of his mentality. I don't see that change a whole lot. physically he is incredible indeed and he is build beyond anything seen. like a tracksprinter. that's why I think he will be amazing in classics. his engine is already huge
