It's a close call, I admit.

Gilbert is young and coming into his prime. Thor is more on the backside of it. I laugh when people call him a sprinter, because he isn't anymore (a pure sprinter)....People don't call Hincapie a sprinter, but that's what he used to be. I am a Thor fan, not a hater. I just think Gilbert is a special talent that is just coming into his own.

That being said, If Thor stays healthy and focused, there are some big wins still left in his legs.
