Front24210-09-2026 - I feel he will be like Chris Froome after his accident never getting back to his best. I hope EF can get the best from him and Carapaz if he does not go to Ineos takes him under his wing.paultryan200210-09-2026
- No no... don't spin your words around with me. Your last sentence tells me everything: @whit2pet: "All in all I think that most World Tour cyclists ARE PAID FAIRLY." Are these your words? Yes they are. NO, THEY ARE NOT PAID FAIRLY. Shame on you and stop your BS. Capish?PogiSloFans10-09-2026
- I made that exact comment in my response, but as you are clearly unintelligent you failed to pick it up. Rather than justify your position you chose to make borish comment. Slide back under your rock chump.whit2pet10-09-2026
- "All in all I think that most World Tour cyclists are paid fairly." ??? Reading a foolish and stupid statement like that makes me think: Stop watching cycling and start watching dart throwing or American wrestling. You don't even deserve an answer because of your foolishness and probably won't understand it. But I'll give it a try: Everything centers around the fact that the owners of the Grand Tours and Monuments like ASO - Amaury Sport Organisation, and others, are not interested in sharing their big television and sponsorship profits. BIG PROFITS!!! Why? Because they are f**** greedy, wanting more money constantly. They prioritize personal financial gain over ethics, fairness, or the well-being of cyclists... the same cyclists that make money for them.... Do you understand this? If not, go find yourself a corner!!!PogiSloFans10-09-2026
- With cycling being a "free to watch sport", how do you propose to raise the income to pay the cyclists more? The owners of the grand tours and monuments are not interested in sharing profits and with the sport refusing to make alterations to the Euro Centric calendar, the opportunity to increase income for the teams is extremely limited. All in all I think that most World Tour cyclists are paid fairly.whit2pet10-09-2026
- Hey Jumpyjohn... let your words become gold!!!PogiSloFans10-09-2026
- Pogi, being the G.O.A.T. ... should be getting, at least, 20 million euros per year.... Remco 10 million... Jonas 8.5 million ... etc. etc. All cyclists are being payed shit, compared to other sports. Competitive road cycling is undeniably one of the most brutal and physically demanding sports in the world... when evaluating pure endurance, suffering, and environmental risks such as crashes, heat, cold, rain, sleet, road furniture.PogiSloFans10-09-2026
- Yes, I’m tipping on around 1 minute lost in the TT but it’s best to remember anyone can have an off day or an incident and lose minutes if it’s at the wrong moment.Jumpyjohn10-09-2026
