No one it's a request obviously.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

I guess its only a matter of time before JTL wins his first (of many) LBL so no point including him.

The way he won ToB was mind blowing only an idiot would include JTL in a thread like this

 

[The Hitch]

The whole Colombia team is really a hot favorite for no 1 spot



He's going to lose his lead in a week, he obviously sucks

we don't know that.

And if he does, hell probably regain it the week after anyway (would only need like 4th in Amstel Gold, and was 3rd last year.)

 

[Galic Ho]

Thomas Geraint in my proud opinion.

Seconded.

All these guys have lived up almost to the hype. You need to completely fail to be over hyped.

 

[the asian]

After the end of April we will have a clear winner. It's unfortunate he's not included in the poll.

And he would still be number 1 on CQ after Roubaix no matter what.

I'm with you, assuming we're thinking of the same guy

"end of April" being the clue.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Who has hyped up Thomas? Besides he has got some solid results thus far.

 

[the asian]

I'm with you, assuming we're thinking of the same guy

"end of April" being the clue.

There are two guys who fit the bill.

One, is a up and coming rider of the most favourite team in the forum while the other happens to be one of my favourite's and a favourite rider of the CQ game participants.

Which one was on your mind?

 

[jaylew]

pretty sure the latter

 

[jens_attacks]

pippo pozzato for now

Many thanks.

400 posts and he knows what a troll is? hmmmm be careful what you ask for kid. maybe you should stay on task as well

 

[Jelantik]

ofc Hushovd.

Totally forgot him He could just as well have been retired.

Hushovd who?.. ow that hushovd! Is he still riding? *sarcasm*. I would say TVG pretty high up there. And all this talk about him leading TDF starts to get to annoy me. I hope Thibaut or Elissonde give him a dose of reality

 

[HiCadence]

400 posts and he knows what a troll is? hmmmm be careful what you ask for kid. maybe you should stay on task as well

Because trolls ONLY exist on this forum

Oh and that was called sarcasm incase you misunderstood.

 

[Netserk]

Added an 'Other (specify)' option, as that was really needed.

 

[Shardi]

could you atleast think through the alternatives before creating another poll?
I don't think any of these are significant disappointments.
You could most likely find more significant disappointments than these..

 

[HiCadence]

Thanks for actually clarifying.

I thought it was a little bit rude that some admin/mod was messing around with my post/poll and gave no reason as to why.

But you did clarify so i have no issue now.

 

[l.Harm]

Everybody's relieved now.

 

[Pippo_San]

After the Tour Down Under I'd say Slagter. Definitely over-hyped.

Or how about almost every rider in the Blanco Team?

dunno about the over hyping of Blanco. They seem to be doing ok from this (CQ team ranking '13):

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)

Argos shimanos is in 22 after they got the Pro license. Compare to Katusha in 3rd place, especially since Katusha got kicked off the WT list the first time. Maybe everyone in argos deserves the over hype. Got to the WT team, haven't got anything yet show.
