Re: Re:
But the list of riders who were already great at 25 is much much longer.
Let's take a look at the 10 top scoring riders on CQ atm:
Alaphilippe - a Monument podium before turning 25
Valverde - almost 30 pro wins in his early 20s
Dumoulin - close to win a GT at 24
Yates - close to win a GT at 25
Pinot - GT podium before turning 25
Roglic - obvious exception considering how late he started cycling
Viviani - ok, this is a rider who improved dramatically in his late 20s
Lopez - 2 GT podiums before turning 25
Sagan - more than 60 pro wins before turning 25
G Thomas - the only rider in this list who improved a lot after turning 30
It's long.Anderis said:The list of riders that made a significant progress in their mid to late 20s and sometimes even in their 30s is too long to post here.
