- And your comment is stupid! It's a free market to go where they want. They share a home country so why not ride together.frieders315-12-2024
- btw, i read your posts regularly and appreciate that you’ve always got something interesting to say and you stimulate lots of discussion here. happy holidays, brother.OCexile15-12-2024
- that’s the long and short of it, right? i remember reading a story last year on Velonews about eli, right after mathieu came back then. iserbyt said “every year i’ve truly believed that THIS would be the year my efforts finally allow me to challenge van der poel, but the time comes when you have to admit that fairy tales are just fairy tales…” SOUL CRUSHING, right? all these guys who just happened to be in their prime right when the strongest, most dominant cx racer of all time is in his. way it goes. that’s the nature of individual sports. every once in a while fortune serves up ONE person who is not only vastly more gifted, but also singularly driven to win. watching this champions is thrilling most of the time, but i can also feel for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to their sport only to do battle with someone they really can’t hope to defeat.OCexile15-12-2024
- Right. Scanning ahead, situational awareness, in order to be proactive.JBBriggs15-12-2024
- And if all these other guys would have full time cycling jobs all year round, they’d be less critical about who rides when. Not their fault cycling is split into so many different disciplines to allow some less good riders a chance to win once in a while on their preferred terrain.Mistermaumau15-12-2024

- Don’t really understand the point of making a point of it, especially as he stands to get the same crowd without the extra cost. It could be any number of reasons, the first of which might be that after 12 years of it, maybe he wants to try something new?Mistermaumau15-12-2024
