- Those kids that drive on the wrong side of motorwsys around Dublin at night at weekends for social media likes think they’re smart.
You should read up about different forms of intelligence before judging everyone according to yours.
Smart is a long term final outcome game.
- Oh jeez, you really have something against these people don’t you?
Jonas races and performs enough for what he gets, he is watched and “enjoyed” by millions which is why he gets that salary. Very few of us regular people can attract the attention these guys get FROM US which is why no-one pays regular jobs well. If you’re against that system, be more like me and stop watching.in a way that enriches the system, same as football and worse, golf (just as examples), stop drinking Red Bull, driving Tesla, guzzling petrol, etc.
As for Trine, you didn’t get it because YOU focus on money too much, she’s smart in the motherly sense (you know, as in instinctive protection (of children) in that after aeeing the results of cycling she’s trying to make sure Jonas doesn’t end up like Finlay or like Sepp just almost did but nobody actually reflected on longer than 10 seconds, partly because the vast majority of active fans aren’t mothers, partly because if you do, you almost can’t make it in the sport, especially the way it is going.
Everyone thought Senna was great too but nobody asks his family if they regret his choices.
- Nairo Quintana has better results and more trophies to his name than many on the list.
- Trine smart? literally ruined jonas. Who says shes smart? shes definetely not smart. Jonas effectively just gotten worse and worse and thanks alot to this negative view towards racing. How can he become better when he dont try stuff, Trine anything but smart no idea who says that but that defintely wrong lol.
- Yes, no doubt about it.
- as for Trine, she isn’t that smart. it is easy to be smart when your spouse makes millions. go buy real estate, build an empire. but with her starting point, it isn’t that hard. it doesn’t take a lot of brains. I give her no credit.
- or, maybe he isn’t making millions every year and HAS to go work his ass off to support his family.
Jonas can race what he wants to race, or not. his choice.
but I draw the line at the sympathy card of “oh I want to be around my kids”. I want to be around my kids too, but I don’t make millions a year either.
beyond that, who has an employer that is ok with someone not doing his job so he can spend time at home? that is insane. must be nice.
I prefer to think like Jose Mourinho Portuguese football manager. He said “ Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football.”
same holds true for cycling. one of the things that makes Tadej such a joy is he has said similar.
Jonas doesn’t realize how blessed he is. the woe is me card is ridiculous.
- Happy for you then, just can’t understand why a family man would not admire Jonas a bit more.
I’d like to have seen Tadej juggling it all around and telling Urska to stay at home for the kids.
And in that scenario, in case our Italian lady is still around, I’m not so sure he’d be in Monaco, not a great place for kids to grow up, perhaps closer to Mauro and the UCI bigwigs?
- Clearly, and had there been no Tadej or had he been born another time, he’d be the one with most Tdf wins ever.
Someone (abstractengineer?) once spoke of the impossibility of having two riders of Tadej’s level at the same time but aside potentially Seixas, we actually have been witnessing two of the best ever GT riders competing at the same time.
- Correct for this type of race, HOWEVER, some details.
He was not alone, he was accompanied by a police motorcycle who unfortunately couldn’t quite keep up or stay in front (unfortunate side effect of steep curvy downhills).
Also, it seems organisers were relying on police to man main crossings which they did but didn’t consider the others enough. The driver encountered and engaged with only “spectators”, there was no marshal, criminal lack of judgment, luckily for them not legally criminal.
