Thanks Johan for the last 15 years of great performances. So
long. It will take centuries to have someone else at your
level, if ever.

Centuries is probably an exaggeration, though decades
could be right

Not a chance - he's not in the same league as Museeuw as a hardened one day bad weather rider !

IMO the closest is PvP who may not have quite the grittiness but certainly has the engine and legs.

Why are you thanking a guy in a place he will never look?

And there will be another rider sooner than you think to be
at Museeuw's level. It's not like the guy even approached
the level of Merckx.
