But there are some exceptions, and then I think maybe something weird is going on. There are riders that were once sprinters and then could climb reasonably well - like Jalabert and Kelly. Perhaps Lemond could be considered both.<br /><br />A light sprinter ought to be able to climb and if they got the the end of a hilly stage in the front group, they'd easily win the sprint.<br /><br />So maybe someone who can get over the climbs and can still sprint is considered to be a climber/sprinter.<br /><br />Only Valverde seems to be able to sprint and climb. It seems unnatural to me, sort of like Museeuw, who was my favorite rider for the longest time.<br /><br />Oh and for the record I'd like a semi-McMansion - just not on a 1/3 acre subdevelopment. And not something ginormous like some of the houses I've seen lately.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.com
