- Like I'm winning, in everything. Litta fella..
- yeah sounds like you're on all sides of everything. how's that fence post feel
- Long TT's are good, shakes up the race away from the skinny climbers, makes it interesting esp. as Pog. is making the sport boring
- GT should bring back more flat time trial stages with long distances like how it used to be. Otherwise, it's just a predictable pure climbers' show.
Make it so that the calculus is a bit unpredictable, can Remco win the GC if he shed his opponents in TT? Right now, it's a foregone conclusion that Remco won't win TdF unless misfortune strikes the favorites.
- But he will probably end up winning 5 stages, the mountain jersey and overall GC in this Giro.
And the conclusion from most experts and fans will be:
He didn't dominate enough and has no chance in the tour.
- @RidesHills 1. No, celebrating "diversity", as the Left defines it, is precisely the idea that the group defines the individual.
2. The covid vax killed more than it saved. (Facts upon request.)
3. You aren't the arbiter of the correctness of a statement. Neither is the government.
4. The Left champions protecting women ...unless they disagree with the Left.
5. I'm a man and I've been sexually harassed and assaulted more than once. Confirmation bias.
- acem82, you're conflating two kinds of diversity. One fights back against the idea that all people who are X (black, woman, muslim, whatever broad category you want) are a certain thing (idiots, criminals, terrorists, protected, etc.) because they are X. Promoting diversity is promoting the idea that the group does not define the individual. Let the individual be their own self. The other kind of diversity is a diversity of thought, and here, the argument is different. It's possible to be simply wrong, because your thoughts contradict basic facts. Arguing for a flat earth, arguing that vaccines don't benefit society, arguing that tariffs lower costs, those things are wrong, they are proven wrong, some of them (flat earth) are just idiotically ignorantly wrong, and anyone has a right to say they are wrong. That's not about the individual being defined unfairly, that's about the individual having wrong ideas. To allow diverse perspectives when some of them are patently wrong or inappropriate is counterproductive or worse. So be careful in how you conflate the two meanings, and ask for respect a diversity of thought, when the diversity that people are asking you to respect is to not assign some negative trait to every member of a group of people.
Here's why I'm saying all this: You said that women (as a category) are protected. Two things. First, ALL women are protected? Please define what you mean and how it's not stereotyping. Second, I request that you ask your women friends how many have been sexually harassed, assaulted, or violated, and then reconsider whether they have been protected. But ask each one individually, don’t make assumptions about them all, as a whole, would you?
- Exactly. And the TT in the tour isn't flat. Only the last third.
- Tbh he's never been great on pure flat ITTs. When it is rolling he turns into a specialist
- I disagree.
What we "see"in the Giro won't decide the podium in the tour. It will be decided by what condition Pogacar, Vingegaard and Seixas show up in.
Going all out, dominating the Giro, winning with huge margins and being at 100 percent would compromise Jonas chances in the tour.
