Intriguing thoughts! Narratives indeed shape legacies; a single moment can eclipse years of effort. Yet, it's often the cumulative impact of consistent performance that truly defines a rider.
As for retired riders, their legacies can evolve. Away from the spotlight, they may reassess their careers, influenced by external factors or personal growth. It's a complex process, much like the sport itself.
How about the role of media in shaping these narratives? Do they sometimes focus too much on sensational moments, overshadowing the quiet dedication that underpins a successful career? Food for thought!
