Dazed and Confused said:dunno about the over hyping of Blanco. They seem to be doing ok from this (CQ team ranking '13):
Like Pentacycle said, COMPLETELY ABSENT in every big race since the Down Under.
Now, that's quite an achievement.

Pentacycle said:This will hurt Dekker_Tifosi and most Dutch people in general, but you're right. Blanco can't handle the big races. Romandie, Turkey, TDU, ENECO, San Sebastian and other smaller races suit them much more.
You could say everyone who performs better than normal in TDU has a chance of being over-hyped.(Kelderman, Slagter, Moreno, Thomas, Hermans)
There was an article on CN claiming he would be a contender in Liège after he won some 140km race in Australia back in JanuaryDon't be late Pedro said:Who has hyped up Thomas? Besides he has got some solid results thus far.
This is a good one. Voted other.ingsve said:How about Jonathan Tiernan-Locke.

Afrank said:Pretty much this (still think it's too early for this thread and Highcadence had a deeper purpose in creating it) but if their is one rider that is way over hyped, it's Tiernan-Locke.
maltiv said:Stannard was quite hyped on this forum after his M-SR performance, but by now it has become clear that he only becomes a beast when the weather is horrible. He was ultimately very unimpressive in E3, G-W and RVV.
P-R is obviously the classic that suits him the most though, so he still has the chance to prove me wrong.
