Who has the best palmares: Valverde vs. Nibali

[Blanco]

It doesnt change it for me. He is very good at one race, meh.

He has 7 medals from the World Championships, all on different courses! Do you even know what the hell are you talking about?!

This is weirder than Nibali paying for my drunk döner sandwich in my dreams man.

At least the wife doesn't have to worry about Safebet dreaming about other women.

BTW I immediately informed her about this dream when I woke up.
She didn't comment. I think she'd prefer me dreaming about other women honestly.

This entire thread is with your wife on that one

Not for me, it is the same as Nadal at the French open. Winning the same thing over again but having limited (relatively) success in others can actually harm the argument.

Don't think Nadal is a good example since he's won all grand slams at least twice (Valverde would need a Tour, or at least 2 Giro's, plus at least one cobbled monument for some sort of comparison); the only thing missing is end of season tournament (which isn't a slam).

Also don't see how if competitor 1 is slightly better at A and B, then therefore they are better overall than competitor 2, even if competitor 2 is far superior at C (assuming A, B, C are at similar levels of importance). Eventually there has to be a tipping point (whether that is yet for Nadal is arguable, I'd side with Djokovic slightly in that goat debate, due to weeks at no.1, and more totally dominant, dominant seasons).

Who has the best palmares: gregrowlerson or topcat?

 

[RedheadDane]

I don't normally dream about cycling but last night I dreamt of today's LBL.

Nibali won solo.
Tobias Johannessen second.
Valverde third.

Nibali and Valverde hugged a lot at the finish, almost like they were boyfriend and boyfriend. One of them was wearing the WC jersey, can't remember who.

This is weirder than Nibali paying for my drunk döner sandwich in my dreams man.

Are you guys okay?

Like Valverde I've got the advantage in longevity, but that's probably about it

I think if Bala wins today, it would sway it in your direction.
In other news, last night there was an armed robbery at my local liquor store and they got away with 6 cans of beer in a taxi. (FOR REAL).

Imagine their heartbreak if only after the getaway did they realise that they'd stolen mere mid strength.

This was not a piece of info I was expecting on a cycling forum.

The topcat of old would have stopped them in their tracks and shotgunned the beer.

 

[RedheadDane]

This conversation has taken a rather strange turn!

But it's obviously that the person with the best forum palmares is... me!
It's right there in my signature.

What signature? Have I gone delirious during my night shift?

 

[SHAD0W93]

I only care about wins though.

Well, Nibali won his from descents just like Valverde won his by sprinting.

My long an glorious shotputting career.

Also, I'm definitely an old-timer!

Who knew Miss Trunchbull was a cycling fan.

Topcat would also say; "Any beer that calls itself a classic beer, isn't a classic."

 

[topcat]

I don't want to be associated with any of this.

 

[RedheadDane]

That was hammerthrow, silly.

You started it!

Was it? I thought she shotputted besides throwing the little girl.

 

[RedheadDane]

Was it? I thought she shotputted.

Maybe she also shotputted, but the "swinging the kids by their braids" thing was definitely hammerthrow.

When she was trying to get them in the house, I thought she was throwing the shotput thing and then Matilda took control of it and she got a taste of her own medicine.

Possibly, been a while since I watched the move.
And you don't thrown the "shotput thing", you... put it!

So what's going to happen today? Bala and Nibs cross the line holding hands for joint 1st place, I send a namby pambi emoji hug to Toby and we agree they're both the best cyclists ever, RhD wants to know why are we doing this, is it left side of the brain or right side.
We're back. You can't kill the . thread, it's been here for hundreds of years.
