- There's a big difference between the ordinary Internet reader and someone who's got a job and doesn't do it properly. Not knowing that a somewhat popular cycling podcaster regularly shares clips from non-recent interviews is not a big deal, but checking the interview date (and not misquoting Lemond) should be basic, mandatory verification.
- The 'In den tijd van Roger de Vlaeminck' meme is quite a punchy one, and it arose precisely due to De Vlaeminck's criticisms of the last few crops of riders. It sounds a lot better in Dutch (though maybe that's my impression as an English speaker) but is even more punchy when accompanied with illustrations
- Thanks for that, enjoyed it and hidden in the exaggerations there is (maybe intentionally?) actually quite some anecdotal truth. Also about today which doesn’t seem to have been exaggerated much.
- I agree with the fact that he was affected alot (although he was at a level most riders in the peloton would never dare to dream of) but I believe Vinge would have beaten him anyway. With Vinge in 2024 it's a more complicated matter because his injuries were far worse
- Maria, he was riding his normal bike already BEFORE HIS altitude camp dates (very beginning of June) in S. Nevada where he was proudly posting KOMs on Strava.
For someone who follows him so closely you should be able to remember or at least easily check.
- What a weird thing to say in public, especially as objectively it isn’t even really clearly true.
MVDP has had plenty of setbacks in his career and been dealt blows at crucial moments, they’ve just been different and I’m pretty sure a reason why Wout and him have different consequences after an incident is state of mind when it happens.
Mist of MVDPs incidents happen when he is alone and can only blame himself, several of Wouts have been when he’s nervous, u der pressure or unfocused in a group, some also his responsibility.
MVDP might just react differently at those moments and come away better, staying relaxed instead of crisping up, first thing you learn in judo is HOW to fall but MVDP is also a master at avoiding them.
Hurt his back which visibly affected his results during 2 seasons.
Crashed in Glasgow WC
Crashed at Olympics
2x at Nové ‘25
Countless cyclocross crashes
Ruined his psyche getting arrested
Almost ruined 2026 sprint training.
Obviously statistically less dangerous if you crash alone than when others influence consequences.
- I am glad to hear Lemond weighing in on doping yet again. Armstrong's story of a returning from a near-death experience to triumph over an EPO-supercharged peloton while riding clean was a complete and utter fraud. It takes a man of Lemond's courage to remind us that his story of returning from an a near-death experience to triumph over an EPO-charged peloton while riding clean.
I can never get enough of a story about a true and honest hero.
- It's a triumph that this guy is even still riding. Best of luck to him this season.
- As far as I'm convinced, Remco still has zero wins. I don't care whaz Sagan says. I invite Remco to stop in Siena to meet his slovenian master Pogi the G.O.A.T... but no, it's better to run away and hide. His fans will somehow defend and glorify him. Let it be known, he still has zero wins in 2026. If someone doesn't have a high enough IQ to understand what I'm talking about, it's because I don't recognize the low ranking F category races. Ad acta.
- Nearly all these guys can race without a power meter. They know how much power they're pushing at all times. The data is collected for analysis and future gains.
