- We are talking about the Tour of France. Maybe the pressure is strong for him. After 5 years with good results but far away to be brilliant, it's time to shine in other races/tours and give the opportunities to others. If I were the LIDL DS, I'd make the same decision.
- Wouldn't that make life easier, but no. A truly civilized society would leave no proverbial cracks open for people to fall through. Mr. Bobridge had to deal with the fact that society in a very uncivilized manner drops people when we falter.
- Ponderous. I have found the precise opposite to be true as well, hence my original comment. Burying consciousness in substances seems to help no one in the long term. But relying upon others for help results in disappointment upon learning no one can hear.
- This would be the argument if a rider failed to perform but Mads is a monster on the road, on the other hand, I do agree that Jonathan Milan is a better sprinter overall, Mads is a better all rounders type of rider.
- The UCI should listen to the riders, not the wheel maker.
- A bit harsh, he’s only just turned 29 and definitely improved over the last years.
No problem giving others a chance but there were also ways of taking him without stepping on pure sprinters’ toes,
- I think it could be complemented by additional punishments. For example, if you cause a crash that knocks out one or more riders for any period of time, you should firstly be disqualified from the race AND secondly, get an immediate suspension equivalent to the number of days the other(s) are out.
- I don't consider the comparison of the two GOAT of generational talents of who is the best. But they are the GOAT of their respective generation.
- Why would that matter or be of interest, Bobridge knows if he is or isn’t or could have looked for otherworldly answers instead of resorting to surrogate solutions, losing himself into something that might end up worse than your problem. Besides, he was obviously looking for human support and it is telling that the religious these days are getting very picky and calculating about who they really feel like helping.
The guy miscalculated thinking he could expect club and country to be there for him, nothing more selfish than competitive environments, he should also have realised that if he wasn’t cycling for himself but for some greater good like country or greater evil like ego, it was bound to backfire.
- Brother, we already are pawns...
