  Weird take. Just because something isn't the same, or as nice, doesn't mean people don't wish it was, and try to fix things. That's like saying "Oh he doesn't have a university education, he must not want one".

  UAE'S Budget is essentially unlimited and parallels the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.Both spend insane amounts of money on the very best athletes and out compete everyone else.Thats Capitalistic behavior at its finest or worst depending on your bank acct.You can't force the best riders to go to teams that are in dire need of improvement.You can only nurture the young riders and seek out the best of the best in house or as in baseball through farm teams.All sports always have dominant teams and struggling teams.Thats the nature of the beast and will never change.

  I'd love to see them both on track! Or, perhaps doing a crit. That would be interesting. Though I doubt it will ever happen.

  Jasper wouldnt need to worry about holding his racing line so there’s that (not that he is concerns with that in road races)

  Pogi was 3rd at La Vuelta in 2019 in his first season at UAE, but he still finished 3rd overall and got himself 3 stage wins in the process! UAE’s transformation into a super team was kick-started by Pogi.

  ....and my question is.... Did the system failed because was everything for Evenopoel? Where's all those wins from the Wolfpack spirit? Hope to see them coming back from the before Evenepoel era. No disrespect at all for Remco or for the team to try it.

  Yes, that's true... but would Pogi be as good as he is if he was never on the UAE team? I don't think so. They have one of the best trainers-Javier Sola and on of the best PhD professors for nutrition and data analysts.

  Of course it’s the best term to use, look how many comments it generates. Besides the fact that it is the correct biological term for the nerve cell responsible for brain/muscle communication. Very interesting revelation that suggests many other neurological possibilities I’ve hinted at in the past may soon be noticed and launch discussions on the need to define what the threshold for neurological/psychological /hormonal doping should be, before things get even more complicated with physical implants or remote manipulation (as in the CIA spending a 3 figure million amount to acquire an enemy weapon able to alter human feelings from a distance).
