Really disappointed for Yates0

Is Porte the best mountain domestique ever? Can the case be made?PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

I agree with Rick on this.rick_chasey said:
Froome porte partnership was highly successful, that isn't a debate, however, I think if you placed any other strong climber in place of porte then the outcome would have been the same.
Let's not forget, porte was touted as a future GC contender earlier in his career. He fell short in that respect but obviously his ability to fit with the team sky /ineos tactics was a match made in heaven. Not sure it can be classed as iconic though.0 -
Agreed. I could have told you Renshaw was Cav's main wing man.rick_chasey said:
I couldn't have named Froome's.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Interestingly, unlike Adam, he has never really ridden the season-opening events in the Middle East. In his entire career he's only ever done the UAE Tour once (and came 75th).blazing_saddles said:

Porte had the engine but handled the pressure poorly relative to his rivals . being written off actually helped get to the podium that year.
Thee were several Porte superdomestique moments I remember. Dropping nibali with froome stands out . But froome often got good drive out of his climbers who ever they were . Kenny Elissonde did the same thing ..
You could argue cav partnerships were chop and change too .. eisel renshaw morkov..
I think the sprinter combinations are a lot tighter and longer lasting thou

Portes biggest superdomestique "save" has to be getting froome a gel on the double alpe d huez stage"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Exactly. Porte was not the one that he relied on and couldn't have done without.mididoctors said:

FWIW - I agree with Rich, I can't think of a more iconic duo from the last 15 years.
Cav has also had several lead out men in his career, EBH, Wiggins, oh and some dude called Morkov
Doesn't this picture make every british cycling fan misty eyed? I'd argue it's more iconic than all of the above...
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Surely "Third Week Wout" deserves a namecheck here in the list of Froome's mountain domestiques?
I'm with those saying it's not so iconic. I'd put e.g. Sagan - Oss/Bodnar aheadWarning No formatter is installed for the format1 -

I'm not sure there is rider/domestique pairing from recent history that I'd call iconic but the first pair that springs to mind would be Cav/Renshaw or maybe Sagan/Oss.

That photo above is epic, but also cool with danish national champion (brain fog forget name) also supporting leadout.0 -
It's undoubtedly an unfashionable pick, but Hincapie would be up there in terms of quality domestiques. I always thought Udo Bolts was good for Ullrich as well.2
