Definitely agreed. Lots of emotional people who make it big in sports,
cycling included. Think of hothead sprinters or nervous climbers.


dumbass,


i was referring to emotional roller coaster guys. guys who flip put
over a perceived slight or have a bad day on the bike and pack up and
go home or stop training for the rest of the season. these are the
same guys that get overly euphoric when they win. it goes hand in
hand.


grewal i think did mellow out and raced for a long time on domestic
teams (mostly coorslight) but even then he was always inconsistent.
i'm not sure if it was a matter of being focused or physical frailty.


It wasn't physical frailty til he flipped his jeep.

With the exception of the Olympics, his palmares are very Danielson-
esquehttp://www.cyclingarchives.com/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=9420http://www.cyclingarchives.com/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=2587


dumbass,

danielson has had a lot better career than grewal.

he will probably not be the GC contender some people imagined but he
has been racing as a euro pro for 6 yrs or so and has a few euro
results.

grewal had like three half-seasons.
