When I watch these guys digging deep when they put in an effort, I feel so grateful I am a bike rider because even tho I'm clearly not at their level, it doesn't matter because I also know what it's like to feel that way. I love that feeling. That was a beautiful race.

@S0ulinth3machin3 7 месяцев назад

@@paddyotoole2058 height doesn't matter, but I agree that his weight does. Less centripetal force. The other, bigger factor is his technique. He has great technique. Leans the bike way over while keeping his weight above the line between the tire contact patches. The current examples I'd give of height not mattering is Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert. Those two are tall and they're just as fast as Pidcock through turns. The three of them represent the bike racer of the future, able to be great in all disciplines.

xx765.....Doesnt matter....every sport has its own challenge. there is a cyclist who was an MTB'r in his younger days went on to take a hattrick of UCI Road titles....Peter Sagan. Also there's egan Bernal, who is when fit, can give challenge to any other roadie. He was a sliver medalist in Junior XCO. Never seen an Roadie take up a challenge to shift from Road cycling to MTB except Van der Poel although he is a mutant & has exceptional vo2 max. Again, Every sport has different sets of challenges.

All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

And in this year's cross season against Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert, it was Tom who looked like an amateur. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I would love to see these three cross riders do a full XCO season against Nino in his prime. Are they really better? We will never know it. Nino is a legend, Tim won't become that with two or three races a year. But he is an incredibly versatile rider. Unfortunately, road racing is about more money....

@WanderingSword Год назад

@1barnet1 well you're not wrong. He's above average rider. I was more alluding to the fact that he can't beat the top roadies unless the first finish is a daring descent in the wet to the finish line like recently in San Remo where he dropped all the roadies in the wet descent.

@1barnet1 Год назад

@@WanderingSword His descent is his signature weapon for sure. But he also has the KOM on the alp'd huez. He is a weapon both down and uphill. But he seems to be lacking consistency of an GC rider and he isn't good enough in TT's yet.
