- C’mon, at our ages it’s a miracle how much we actually do remember with all the input we have to sort through ;-)Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- I think I mixed him up with another Trek rider, Ciccone, when he beat Primoz and Remco at the 2023 Catalunya, stage 2. My bad brain.Ride197421-04-2025
- OMG too funny! They said the same about you the cheater!!! "No one outright said, ‘I hope they catch him,’ but we were all thinking it"
MrCampy21-04-2025 - Lidl racking up the points. Wasn’t it here they predicted a GC battle on the opening stage? Can’t remember such a compact arrival with climbs.Jumpyjohn21-04-2025
- I understand that there are things that are 'lost in translation' on a site like this, which don't necessarily have the budget for things like proofreading that larger publications have. My sense of humour may not be that funny after all, but I do seriously appreciate being able to view articles and and comment on them without having to pay a fee, which is increasingly rare these days..
santiagobenites21-04-2025 - He owes Pogi an apology! He pulled Pogacar out of the peloton and then quikly left him alone in the wind. Tadej respected Julian and Julian didn't come through.velodan21-04-2025
- Funny he focused so much on that and didn’t mention the situation for Lotte at all. To be fair about the men thing, it might be a mechanical translation problem, I think in Dutch the size of a team or group of humans is expressed by the same word as the male sex, a bit like in English when you speak about humanity in relation to the planet you say man. We all know this cheapo freebie of a website has no proofreading budget and that kind of makes it more human and funny, also teaches you to read between the lines to understand what they’re trying to report often because so much is badly translated.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- No, but more than plenty making a living commenting ;-)Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- People were saying stuff like that years ago but in the meantime he’s proved himself often enough. Do you reallythink he’s going to stop working and improving until he can match the best? It’s just a matter of time. Once he notices the mountains are costing him the title, he’ll start making plans how to overcome that, for now he is still too cocky to understand you improve most by accepting you have a weakness and that’s what you should work on most.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Tao has been a flop for Lidl Trek. He was taken as a GC hopeful but is nowhere due to various factors.abstractengineer21-04-2025
