leedorney17-06-2025 - Liverpool came from 3 0 down to come back and beat AC Milan in a European Cup final. The idea Germany should have taken it easy against Brazil is ridiculous. This is supposed to be top level sport. And actually Germany did take it comparatively easy in the second half of that match. In that game, fantasy met reality and got woken up - and the fantasy was that Brazil didn’t see they were a seriously flawed side imagining they were virtually fated to triumph.AndrewK17-06-2025
- Just statistically not everyone will crash the same amount for any given distance no matter the identicality of the riding/riders. If they would all start their career at the same time you’d not be able to predict who would crash least/most. There are so many reasons for crashes that you’d have to crash 20x to start seeing a repeating reason for being crash prone, and running into a car door or hitting a hidden bump whilst drinking with one hand don’t really count in tallying, these are just unlucky additions that happen to riders randomly after many near-misses they and every other rider have experienced.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Another one who can’t ride her own race. If you have to rely on rivals for your performance, you’re pretty dumb to pick ones you know are unreliable. And yes, you should be careful how you say things, dangerous gave a very false impression.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Nobody watches cycling for the cool names or beautiful clothing, look at the calendar to see how awkward names fit right into the scheme of the sport which should resist conforming to commercialisation too much. Football already ridiculed itself with selling stadium naming rights, these days we’re more and more overrun by people who think everything should be decided monetarily and live by the motto I’ll do whatever I want since I paid for it, total disregard for society or humanity in general.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Doubt it, it is “owned” by ASO since the loss-making newspaper group could no longer afford to stage it. Leaving the actual name presents a whole host of (future) problems, advertising, political leaning, copyright, reputational risk (could go bankrupt). Besides, it isn’t in the least a criterium but nobody seems to have noticed the obvious all these years.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
- Yeah,let’s make it even easier for lazy people and just call it Tara. Most regions have a tour named after the region, many races are by departure and end location, I really don’t see why this one which fits perfectly into the “system” should be shortened, ARA sounds as uncommercial (in most languages) as Alula, nobody complains about the Basque race being called Itzulia Basque Country (and it’s already kind of sad they adopted the English as official) translated into Tour du Pays Basque, Vuelta Ciclista al País Vasco or Euskal Herriko Itzulia. PS don’t know your opinion on it but Gulf of Mexico sounds better than what is being dictated onto whoever succumbs to pressure to conform to whimsies.Mistermaumau17-06-2025
