- I was also sad we didn't get to see a battle between Jonas and Remco. Remco saying exactly what he's thinking has become part of his brand,; the media would criticise Pog if he did the same, so he has been taught how to react.
What I find strange is that Remco's father's opinion is treated as news. I guess that's understandable in Belgjum, and sites like this just repeat it for clicks.
- Yes. Yes it is 😂
- No, it's an advert for the G.O.A.T. !!! Every once in a while we have to let people know who Pogi is. Fools tend to forget and then you reas BS like: "OMG, Mas caught Pogi on a little hill, he's better than Pog." ... "MVDP and Van Aert beat Pogi in Paris Roubaix, they are No.1 cyclists, Pogi is only No.2" ... "Remco is a better all around cyclist than Pogi." etc. etc.
- He is the father not expected to give an unbiased opinion.
For all his talents, Remco is a Primadonna as see from his latest temper tantrum vented on some lowly(in his opinion) rider in the Canadian races but when it comes to Pogi , he becomes a sycophant, a no balls Remco.
- Sex sells, The ad definitely helps the popularity of SS and the Platform. It will also detract from sports side for sportswomen. You cannot prevent SS, the predominant male viewers from jumping to conclusions, from other sportswomen to follow suit or most sportswomen from being objectified by male fans.
What can be done is to prevent direct objectification like was done with Pogi in the Vuelta. Also coercion should be prevented as has happened in some cycling teams
- I guess I will be alone and agree with patrick, I thought he would also end up 2nd before the crash, and felt robbed that I didn’t get to see it play out. not a remco fan boy, but I do appreciate his honesty, instead of what we get from nearly all the other riders, he must have got it from his dad!
- A rider of his calibre is more than capable of winning every grand tour GC more than once. That's an even more elite club
- What they said about the goal being the GC battle open right to the end - that's the double-edged sword of having a crowd-drawing overwhelming favourite. Sure, they might draw the viewers in some respects - but if GC is sewn up by the first rest day, it's going to make the rest of the race less exciting. Having that huge favourite win some stages THEN crash out was almost the best scenario they could've hoped for. All the positives of the big fella, but none of the tail off as the lead becomes cemented and "oh he's gone solo with 50km to go zzzz" deja vu. It was crazy to see breakaways getting 10 minutes plus away, and surviving day after day.
- Yup, I have doubts he'll ever come back after winning. He'll probably do another Giro, TdF double though.
- Yeah just looked at it again. Demi looked pretty hot on that specialized cover. But that’s not objectifying oneself??? All of them were dressed in sexy gowns. Not the curves of Sweeney, but more than just a bit suggestive lounging one arm over the back of a couch.
Her take is interesting. I guess she forgot about this photo shoot.
