Who resembles you the best? (among the pro riders)

[Bike Boy]

Maybe it's just me, but I've always been curious to figure out which rider in the pro peleton I resemble the most.

For me it's probably Michele Scarponi, although I'm probably a tiny fraction better in the TT.
I'm all about climbing unseated. I'm always the strongest hill climber in group rides around here. Needless to say, but I find it quite difficult to hide my attacking mentality.

Oh! did I forget to mention that when race day finally arrives, I'm a nervous wreck, and the comparison grows somewhat pale.

Feel free to post!

are we talking physically, or riding style?

If its riding style, then nobody.

Good question. I would put most weight on the physical part. but it's probably a combination.
I took the freedom to ad riding mentality aswell. but that's of course connected with your physical abilitis.

Any resemblence will be accepted, this thread is more about the fun anyway

Leif Hoste.

My strength is most apparent when the races are very long; I can drive a strong tempo and I do not get dropped in the races that suit me; I sometimes ride a good TT; I do not get cold in early spring weather; I tend to get irritated with the guys in the lead group who won't share the work; BUT, I do not have the acceleration or the sprint to win against elite riders on the types of courses that suit me best.

Amets Txurruka mentality always attacking.
But physically I'm like a small Cancellara I can ride very hard for very long, I'm not a slow sprinter but not superfast either

See post above! How I would wish I could take that post back.

Edit: Ah Commesso the most unathletic bike rider (by physical appearance)

I know, But I'm not that embarrased, I just pretend to be

Now that we have established the identities of the two riders, it would be nice to get an answer from Wonderlance. Who is it Commesso or Fedrigo/Le Nez?

My money says WonderLance is a Toto fan. And I love him for it.

WTF? You make it sound like we are an item?

Sadly Oscar Freire. I kinda even look like him, but I also have the same concentration span as him and I can be a day dreamer.

I don't mind him at all. Cool style, somewhat pointless though.

Given that he claims you are a 16 year old girl, You really want to be making jokes about dating a 19 year old male on a thread Wonderlance has already commented on?

what do you mean with an item ?

A couple. Examples include your parents, Lance and the Olson twin, and the Schleck brothers.

To the OP the rider that resembles me most is Igor Anton. Only I dont crash as much. So Joaquim Rordriguez, Point being that im good at climbing, but possibly not at tts (though i havent tried)

You're a faster time trialist than Scarponi? Who do you have a contract with this year?

Ha HA

I was curious to see how long it would take before someone would pick up on that line!
