Zdenek Stybar Thread

[Screecher]

Finally gets a biggish classic win. And even took a couple turns at the front.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This might be THE year for Stybar..Have a feeling this is not going to be his only big win.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Wow, there is a gap of about 4 years in this thread. Painful.

That was a good victory. He somehow seems more "at ease".

He won't be riding Ronde van Vlaanderen due to cardiac arrhythmia!

What an insane time of the year to get that diagnosis

 

[Valanga]

Is he actually staying at QuickStep next year?

Perhaps they should let him do some more CX races next year, and let him take care of some other Quick Stepper while at it..

Can we rename this thread “Zdenek Stybar isn’t the old Wout van Aert”?

 

[Screecher]

Zdenek Stybar isn't a new Wout van Aert? Great result from him today.

He did great. He was almost the best CX rider in the end.

I was just about to look for this thread to hype him for Roubaix. Possibly the second biggest favourite?

I wouldn't put him that high, but he definitely has a chance. He's always good in PR, and I would love to see him win it.

He has an amazing track record in the race, rides for the best team by far and seems to be in as good a shape as any of his rivals.

He has a mediocre sprint which is an obvious problem, though.

DS had a great career even though he didn't live up to the expectations placed on him. Aside from his wins, he was a great teammate.

I hope that he has fun and maybe some success in his old stomping grounds this fall/winter!

ENJOY retirement DS!

Shouldn't it be ZS?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Perhaps jmdirt calls him Dave Stybar?

Or Director Sportif.

The Z is silent.

The Z is silent.

Then all the commentators I've listened to pronounce it wrong.

Yes, it is a real shame. They have been doing it on purpose. I have heard them laughing about it, when they thought their mics were off. Poor (Z)denek Stybar, I dont know why he became the butt of their inside jokes. Good for him that he finally took a stand and wont have none of it anymore.

Okay, I assume you were joking earlier.

 

[Squire]

For how good he sometimes could be, his road achievements are quite underwhelming. A bit like the guy from his neighbour country.

I wouldn't call three straight road world titles and seven green jerseys underwhelming, if you are referring to that guy.
