Everybody thought the same of Valverde and jalabert, but I think like you.

No, but here are a couple comprehensively positive Hincapie threads in the forum:willbick said:Has there ever been a thread in this forum where a Sky rider was mentioned without it going a bit wierd and clinic-y?!
I can't see how either Thomas or Valverde can be mentioned in the same context as L. Jalabert.Taxus4a said:Gigs_98 said:I don't know how he became that good but I have the feeling I have seen another rider who was suddenly a good climber and then dominating a gt, hm who was this guy and where there any similarities.

Valverde, Jalabert,...
You must take into consideration that most of british riders came form the track, it is the especiallity that was most popular there. Except Froome that grown in the high altitudes of norther Nairobi, riding among Lions with David Kinjah.
For that reason they are not classic riders that become climber, but the contrary, they are climbers that were track riders.
it is not exactly like that, because nor Wiggins nor Thomas are climbers, but it is more like this that how you said it.
