- honestly I agree with you. I shed tears for this man Jonas getting paid millions to ride a bike. he has the ability to walk away and say there is so much more to life while he has his millions. meanwhile there is so much more to life than working in a factory, but factory workers have to continue to retirement in spite of perhaps wanting to finish early. I find Jonas so unlikable due to being ungrateful for the talent and blessings he has. instead he just complains of his burden of riding a toy for millions per year.mij17-07-2026

Alexcavalera17-07-2026 - So a bunch sprint that anyone could win is boring? Want to know what boring is? It is knowing at the start of a mountain stage, barring any accidents/race incidents who is going to win.
