You cant compare De Gendt and Gesink properly
Gesink crashes so any results after 5 days dont exist 
De Gendt is an okay climber, the Giro cant count. It was a break, which no-one in the main leaders group chased properly. He can TT, but that ITT results is just one result, not a true showing of peoples tt ability, obviously.
On the 2011 TT, Evans beat him, Contador had ridden the Giro and was so over done by then, Sanchez is not a great tt'er. And where was De Gendt on the climbs? no where...
De Gendt has one GT GC 3rd, and 1 GT stage win
Gesink has a 7th, 6th and 5th in GT GC's and lots more other race results De Gendt hasn't come close to!
Youre right its not a discussion. Gesink is much better thank De Gendt and De Gendt is luckier.
I'm happy to do a full result comparison of the 2 for you if your interested  you wont like it

Quick stage so far, and the breakaway isn't really allowed a good gap. Starting the 2nd category climb, the gap was about 2 minutes. The riders in the breakaway are: Javier Moreno, Ben Gastauer, Blel Kadri, Adrian Palomares, Alessandro Ballan, David Moncoutie, Rudy Molard, Amets Txurruka, Alberto Losada, Maciej Paterski, Dario Cataldo, Serge Pauwels, Simon Clarke, Juan Manuel Garate, Jan Bakelants and Laurent Didier.
Moncoutie was first over the first categorized climb of the day. |

I don't see evans or Cancellara wasn't good there ??
Not the real result. As long as you're speaking of the Tour TT last year at least.

Thks i see now , weird that evans is far from his level in the TT this year, i remember that in 2008 he done a weak TT also
You can't compare that TT to how he did this year. Both because he knew that he was riding towards a Tour victory last year, and because he was, unless I've missed something, sick in the Tour this year.
We should also not forget that he is 35 years old. He will, just like everyone else, start decreasing at some point. It's very possible that this year was that point.

Moncoutié has no chance. Saxo are keeping an extremely tight leash on the stage

It sucks when you get the infused-with-improperly-conserved-EPO virus.

I hope this entire post is ironic.
De Gendt did two grand tours in his cycling career. Two. He ended on the podium on the only one of the two he started with modest GC ambitions. Conclusion: no conclusions possible yet on De Gendt. Comparing him with GT contenders is guesswork and personal interpretation.
The end. |

Moncoutie starting to fight for KOM? Not stage I presume?

Going as far as possible, and picking as many points as possible on the way.
Then whether G.C. riders team let him build a gap sufficient to make it to the end is not his decision. It looks like he won't be fighting for the stage today, actually. |
