One of your base assumptions seems to be that Phinney has
reached his physical peak at age 18. If that is true then
you are correct, his career is not likely to exceed that
of Wiggins.
Of course it's true. *Have you ever seen a rider improve through their
20's? *Of course not.
Well, I'm pretty sure if you took the teenager that did the
pursuit in the Olympics and dropped him into a grand tour
he'd be total lunchmeat. So Amit and I are on the same page
there.


That's not a page.
If they dropped any 18 year old in a grand tour they'd be lunchmeat.
Kind of like saying, "Well, he can't flap his arms and fly!"
You know, meaningless.


Your sarcasm detector needs tuning. Please try to get that taken
care of before July.


I like my sarcasm bloody and dripping, thanks.
