- Partly true but you mustn’t forget, his experience with tire pressures from all the disciplines, his incredible handling and steering ability have hidden a lot of the “bad luck” that is attributed to others who may get more punctures because they don’t adapt to the conditions, fall more because they haven’t got the experience to steer or manoeuvre back to safety or stay cool when things get dodgy or simply the skill (e.g. right power dosage) to stay on their bike when practically every other rider is forced to walk. Not many riders endure more than one handlebar or steering break in their pro career, he’s come through 2 almost unhindered. Another thing to keep in mind is that because of his reputation and results we probably credit him for far more riding on the road than he actually does, if you would chart punctures/km he’d probably not be an outlier. Also, maybe he uses anti-puncture products others don’t?
- There you go, love it.
- Why so modest, for sure Musk will develop some life extension contraptions to attach to preserve at least his brain and have a forever president, just like Lukaschenko. Far easier than changing the constitution.
- 2500 compared to?
How many would have been sold anyway just before the event. This sounds more like publicity to sell more tickets than a serious analysis of a WVA effect. Obviously HIS fans are now more interested in being present but has anyone else suddenly decided to attend because their interest in the race changed?
- While I understand his frustration, the last-minute nature of this isn't really relevant. The problem isn't the selection process, it's that Jens rides for a country with lots of outstanding riders. He is currently the 9th ranked cx rider from Belgium, and that is with Wout at 35th due to minimal participation. Disappointing for Jens, but the right choice for the team.
- "Something is rotten in the post of Belgium. That one may smile and smile and be a villain." Shakespeare (or similar, ahahah).
- He's a rider like Alberto Contador style that only wants GT. I know he can do La Fleche Wallone, San Sebastian and any other classics because he's a diesel motor when it comes to climbs.
- It would be fantastic to see another Wout vs. Mathieu battle at the World Championships, but given his current form and recent performances, it's hard to imagine anyone even coming close to challenging Mathieu this year.
- "Not a climber" !!!!!! One of the hardest climbs of the year is "Jebal Hafeet" and she crushed the field last year. Not the best but can hold her own against most and as we know anything can happen in the Tour.
- MVDP hardly ever has bad luck (like punctures etc.). More often unfortunately 'bad luck' in his case are stupid mistakes he does.
