- PR to Tudor hardly means the end of WorldTour, they basically get invited to everything.
Lidl-Trek German now??? Instead of asking if their football team is white enough, maybe that crowd should ask if their cycling team is German enough.
American owner, main sponsor
Hardly a German rider or staff member or equipment provider.
Anyone have background to this decision, was it gifted to guarantee a long-term commitment from Lidl the way Ineos brown-nosed Netcompany?
- What a shame Pogačar can't fulfill his promise. It'll have to be next year
- Maybe their mechanics are willing to step in? Or they can convert a few on the bench of ManU.
- Opening a gap over Pidcock (who must know the course by heart now) on a technical descent must take some doing.
- This poll placed here is like asking something about Trump on Fox, really unbiased ;-)
- I will first look at results, not budgets to judge who is falling behind. I’m no fan of teams increasing budgets because others do, it’s an unhealthy spiral that can only lead to problems and complications. If cycling were as strict with spending rules as some other sports, UAE would now be digging themselves out a City sized hole.
- You forgot the probably fake doping disqualification at another Giro to ensure an Italian win. Probably worse than the individual hitting him to ensure a French TdF winner as it was orchestrated by cycling officials. I wouldn’t be surprised if mafia and betting had something to do with it but it was a smart enough tactic to avoid any kind of suspicion or investigation, almost impossible to prove but knowing the way the world and humanity works, completely plausible.
- You’re giving yourself away (as usual) with all the details and expressions we’re used to here.
- Ask Skjelmose, buy Seixas.
- It may look like that to you but I wonder. Given his strength, given the lack of commitment in front sometimes among some of the chasers, given his advantage on the climbs, given the small and changing gaps throughout, given a few more details we can assume, how come if he had so much energy to pull (and why would he just for the sake of those behind) he never rode a bit smarter or more efficiently by joining up with another group of chasers, either by detachment from wheelsuckers on the climb or falling back to other more collaborative chasers behind to form a bigger more useful chasing group.
Something in all his work doesn’t make sense.
