The old debate

[Serendipity]

I found this story on Cyclingnews Cyclingnews

 

 

 

This should start the old Roadie MTB debate again. To think Peraud is not even the best Mountainbiker in France - think what Absolon could do.

Burry v Jaco Venter @ SA's in March. venter 1'10 quicker over 40k. Where does Burry rank in the world... top 10. Where does venter rank in tt... top 50?

Now that is a stupid comparison. A tt is a specialist discipline, and as per your comparison, not too long ago Evans kicked Valverde's ass in tt, yet lost the overall.

 

What I'm trying to say is, Burry is in a different league, world class. That's that.

Burry will kick Venters ass over 300km for 7days in a row.

this debate is the same as: ....

 

BMW vs Merc

Coke vs Pepsi

Race radios vs radio silence

Anc vs DA

Afrikaner vs English Brit

coffee vs tee

toyota vs isussu

Nazi vs jew

Riser bar vs staight bar

shimano vs campy

USA vs terror

 

Lance doped VS Lance is clean

 

and the all time favorite on the hub

MTB vs ROAD

 

...........and will never be solved or convinced otherwise!

Good luck ppl

That article about power output comparison was fascinating - thanks. It makes sense if you look at it that way. There really is no comparison. It is two completely different desciplines.
