  Jonas (probably instructed by Visma) low-key seeding a media cycle about UAE’s carbon monoxide abuse because he knows he’s not at Tadej’s level anymore.

  I thought Visma was still using this technique but were about to stop using it soon. Anyway, it will probably be banned soon enough.

  I can imagine being super fit and having to wait a while, I broke my foot two weeks ago. It sucks, I hope Remco has another great year and can improve in the Tour. Even if he's still on the third step, maybe the gap won't be so wide.

  Praying for the family.

  Agreed, this is only marketing for a business. Back in the day, riders would just get in breaks to show off for the sponsors. I won't say cycling should be run differently but maybe those in power should explore different way of running things.

  UltimateOpportunist you clearly don't know much about cycling. Why do you think Mancebo only races for a minor team in poor quality races in weird places? Drugs ban anyone?

  Pog has the advantage of what he did last year, it’s up to Vin to prove himself this year so yes, he’s wise to avoid the Giro. If he wins the first, the 2nd is irrelevant or a cherry on the cake. If he doesn’t it will be a consolation prize. Giro is also risky for other reasons if TdF is main objective. 2 angles not discussed by them obviously are also how to have managed a Giro with WVA and him with a WVA having personal goals and also expecting (rightfully) some consideration. Second is maybe JV feels some “revenge” is in order for having to take 2nd at 2023 Vuelta?

  I'm so so sorry to read this news report. Her brother and the rest of her family will be devastated.

  An extremely eloquent subtle way of saying we were both desperate ;-) What was it Presley sang? Wise men say….

  I think what a lot of people don’t want to think about, is the reason JR and his company invest in sport in the first place. Sport is not the priority, winning in sport isn’t even or they’d be exercising more pressure after years of underperforming in just about every domain. The investment in sport is being used as a tool, some would say just a marketing tool to get the brand (which basically started from zero in domains not too followed by the general public) recognisable for later sales when more consumer oriented products hit the market. I would add, cynically but also realistically, that there’s also an intention of preemptive washing, sone oil nations were a little late to that game snd irreparable damage was already done to their reputations. JR is basically in the same/similar businesses and uses sport to build up credit against any negative coverage of business matters and for their sports fans, that’s enough to ignore downsides.
