Fastest Paris-Roubaix in history & longest men's solo in 30 years; Mathieu van der Poel's greatest ever performance?

Born near China on the southeast Russia end up being Belgium, Ukrainian and Moldavian... Can't make this up.... Always got great wins!!! Classic rider for sure

Strange that he never manged anything in a tour though

No climbing legs.

I don’t get offended by people who post out of ignorance ;-)

I think you’ll find there are some very good reasons why you feel that, firstly, you probably never did any serious research and secondly, you forget that for most of history they were not classed as Ukrainians but just the fact that you didn’t even mention boxing and athletics kind of disqualified your whole comment as a way to criticise more than anything else.

Now, if you want me to go into more particulars, some of the less obvious and discussed reasons why some countries’ performers stay under the radar, they are not marketed as pushily, they often emigrate to win for other countries (in fact, in this day and age you can call it passport shopping, which country wants to win more medals, employ an immigrant, no offense Mo F and co.) and no offense to you but don’t just blurt stuff out especially if you don’t provide ANYTHING as an argument to back yourself up :-)

Sounds like pro-Russian trolling.

You've left some truly despicable comments.

Good for you, you’re lucky that other people put up resistance to wrongs for you then. Don’t think you’ve thought much about your heritage, background, history from your part of the world or otherwise you’d realise how lucky you are to have been deposited somewhere where there is « no need » for a person to care about politics (which doesn’t usually stop them moaning about pathetically insignificant political decisions).
