📊 Isaac Del Toro winning in 1 season in Italy:

a 'Gran Premio', a 'Coppa', a 'Trofeo', two 'Giri' & a simple 'Gran'.

And in Spain Torito also won a 'Circuito' & a 'Clàssica'.

Not even Merckx and Pogacar did that 🙂

Dan wil dat al wat zeggen 😀

Wel, ik vind het geen probleem, maar ik ben dan ook een 43-jarige oude vent, met een lange aandachtsspanne, die bijna elke koers bekijkt (die ik kan zien), dus ik ben niet de norm :-)

Is veel te technisch. Zelfs uurrecord (een uur rechte lijnen rijden op piste) is niet vanzelfsprekend.

I respect that more than an athlete who doesn't get the most out of his talent, doesn't train a lot, but is cold-blooded.
jonascreteur.bsky.social
Yes, Remco Evenepoel is sometimes frustrated, should be more calm at times and should improve that.

But we also have to emphasize (& even more) that he is a 200% professional, with an admirable discipline & ambition.
