So now the year is drawing to the end, I can’t seem to find a thread on best somethings of the year, so I’ll kick off the discussion (all men’s as that’s what I know) - I didn’t watch all that much this year. Life getting in the way a lot.
Best ride of the year: WvA, the entire Tour
Rider of the year: Pog, right?
Team of the year: Jumbo Visma
Race of the year: The Tour!
Day’s racing of the year: stage 11 TdF (when jumbo started attacking on the Gallibier)
Best one day race of the year: Flanders
One day racer of the year: Evenepoel (Zzzzzz)
Best ride of the year: WvA, the entire Tour

Ride of the year… I’m tempted to say Ganna going under 4 minutes in the pursuit… it’s such an iconic time, it means breaking the 60kph barrier… it’s like the 4 minute mile… in my opinion more iconic than the Hour he did.
I know the American guy had already gone under 4 minutes, but it was in Aguascalientes and I don’t tend to give much value to those times, especially for short rides.left the forum March 20230 -
I would probably have WVA has rider of the year as well as ride of the year. I feel that Pog’s attempt to show you can challenge all year including the Tour will have reinforced the wisdom of the last 30 years or so that if you want to win the Tour you can’t focus on much else.0

I'd say Evenepoel - a monument, World champs and a GT in one season.

His style of victory is such a snooze to watch I struggle to get excited. Plus, worlds aside, anything after July is worth less (to me)kingstongraham said:I'd say Evenepoel - a monument, World champs and a GT in one season.

It's been a year when victories are shared out - hard to agree with Pog for rider of the year when he didn't win his main target. (and his biggest win of the year was well after July).rick_chasey said:
