How often have we read that the World Championship isn't important
anymore because the major GT contenders don't ride it, but then a guy
who's as close to a GT contender as anyone who's never actually won a
GT goes and wins it.


The WC may not be the greatest race in existence, but the GT riders
are not the sport. The last big GT rider to win Paris-Roubaix was Sean
Kelly; and that was over 20 years ago.


Dumbass -

The only GT which Sean Kelly won was the Vuelta.

Like Kelly, Laurent Jalabert won the Vuelta and he also won Milan-San
Remo and the Giro di Lombardia, all of those wins post-dating Kelly.


Bugno led the Tour of Italy start to finish, plus won the worlds
twice, the Tour of Flanders and a boatload of other stuff. How many
guys have won the Alpe d'Huez stage of the Tour of France AND the Tour
of Flanders?

maroon,

He got very lucky.

Cancellara and Valverde allowed that gap to open up, daring each other
to go chase it. The other guys just watched them.


both true, but

Evans won the WC without having to attack.


he did attack, and i think he had to. if the three had come to the
finish i don't think evans would have won. he opened and maintained the
gap over kolobnev/rodriguez to the finish while the rest of the chasers
were dicking around.
