  Opinion of "thomas bay", an obscure dane visibilly unable to think a lil bit, is not very interesting...

  Wow, so thoughtful. How about extrapolating that ideology and seeing where it lead to in the past and where it would lead to in future left unchecked so we can see what we should be studying to survive AI? Haven’t actually seen any cashiers lately, only self-service payment attendants and I’m afraid we won’t be seeing engineers much longer either. Or rather, let’s skip the whole transformation period and go straight to the post human production era where AI directs itself and robots. What will happen to all the money and how will it be distributed? Viewing power is only a part of the financial equation, you may realise not everything has to or should be dictated by financial returns or desire, think of schools and libraries and children’s diets as examples.

  Was men’s cycling less interesting 20 or 40 years sgo when speeds were lower than now? Most women’s races are now faster then men not so long ago so that’s just a pretty excuse, just like convincing yourself you can’t enjoy watching a recorded race and you must see it “live”. I didn’t say anything about equality, I suggested working towards it to make women’s cycling sustainable and autonomous, which it will never be if riders can’t liveboff what is supposed to be a career now. Maybe all those against should reflect a little on how the financial side of sports evolved and who has always been in charge dictating the terms. It’s not exactly reflecting well to stand by watching others try to feed themselves as you hoard the parts of a cake that were never rightfully for you. It isn’t women who refused to do sport whilst men set up their biased system of financial distribution is it?

  I think a lot of youngsters will be ruined by making a fast track approach to World tour top teams.Most riders will need to be 25 to gain the maturity to handle the rigors of meeting performance and weight schedules.

  So you want to see less racing instead of more? I don’t care about men vs women. I care about who is the fastest/most entertaining. They also do not ride the same route the majority of time? That’s equality?So same prize for less, slower, work? This wouldn’t be a thing anywhere but sports. Does Treks best female rider make as much as their best male rider, if not, why?

  I think they say afraid rather than wary because they are just searching for something

  Well said, one of the best at keeping cycling interesting. Really happy he’s still motivated and not hinting at retirement. Together with Wout’s newfound motivation and form, we gave some more years of great racing ahead.

  Why? You think humans can’t write slop? I worked as a proofreader many years before AI, this kind of mistake is so typical, usually either stemming from rewriting a part of a sentence to improve readability but then being too lazy to reread it or cheap to have someone else do it, or less likely in this case, a lapsus (traditionally just an innocent mistake but now more used to highlight writing something revealing an origination of a subconscious thought like you something you wished or felt in place of a fact but without being conscious of doing so).

  I don’t think it’s a question of recovery, it’s not really possible to say as we’ve never seen him trying to take a Tour seriously. He always participates knowing he had an ulterior goal just after (for which he often abandoned prematurely). It’s more a question of having no motivation to ride mountain stages and no motivation to ride subdued 3 weeks for a better GC position, he just isn’t motivated by stage races (exact opposite of Jonas) and does the one week ones almost solely as preparation for other goals. It’s the fans’ problem if they can’t accept that different riders enjoy different things and aren’t all the same. For sure his interviews are more enjoyable than most and also more natural, honest and authentic, he’s always more cool about handing out praise to others than criticism. The only disappointing thing about him is that even he seems to forget women’s cycling is a thing, and as. a Dutchman that’s particularly worrying, they are THE country where you’d not expect the men to consider themselves more important.

  I'm a mountain biking fan big time, so I followed PFP there. Plus we have the same birthday : ) She is amazing.
