VIDEO: Tadej Pogacar trains alongside INEOS stars Geraint Thomas and Filippo Ganna
Cycling
I’m surprised how little the press has talked about Thomas’ comments regarding Quintana. Personally, I would want to be shown right next to him right now.
So, considering the press spoke so little of it, many of us have no clue and unless you fill in a bit, we never will would make the comment a bit pointless, no?
He and Luke Rowe called him a little F-ing Scumbag, and said he shouldn’t even be racing.
And in relation to what behaviour or incident was that? I’m sure that wasn’t during an interview so are you surprised the media didn’t blow it up?
Ok, I found it though your Scumbag tip wasn’t of any use.
I guess nobody made a fuss because they don’t want to give these attention seeking desperados any more time than they already have, besides they removed the content meaning that anyone reporting on it would have to reference a second-hand account of things which already didn’t seem very well registered.
Read up a bit more as the devil is always in details in these kind of things.
Considering Quintana was one of only two of 57 caught users that year to be punished or even informed he’d been tested +ve, no matter what GT and his sidekick think, they are way out of line to report selectively like that.
More fodder for those who believe the UCI keeps a
like/don’t like list to use as and when it suits them.
I don’t think there are many left that people take Thomas very seriously since he’s replaced results with comments.
And so does his primadone friend, Remco. Who is complaining more often than most riders in 6 month span?
I didn’t say Thomas was complaining, he just talks a lot, usually before races but no longer delivers. Remco complains but still delivers something, not as much as he expects but more or less what everyone else expects. He’s the only one to think (and behave) he’s above WVA, MvdP, JV, PR and TP, I don’t think many other people (except maybe his mum) do.
He’ll beat some some of the time but it won’t become a habit.
Kudos for trying though, really going for those bonus seconds against an old, battered and down man ;-)
Just find him obnoxious at times. Maybe because I dislike those types of people, but still. Would have prefered him to do more racing than talk. Talk is cheap.
You think he calls his son to give him a bollocking when he rides with Tadej or Remco?

- As long as EPO isn't involved, and you swear it's an honest mistake--all good.

Front24222-04-2025 - “If you had told me this five months ago, I wouldn't have believed you. I always hoped that I wouldn't become one of those cyclists who got divorced after his career ended. But unfortunately that is the case," he said. The timing was very revealing and as he mentioned, it’s a typical price to pay for being a pro cyclist (among others). It takes a very specific type of partner to accept that life and you can’t always know or see that in advance. The relationship is often “suspended” with the hope of improving upon retirement when you can finally focus on each other, but that’s when you discover new sides of each other and sometimes realise you weren’t compatible. What you said is very often true too unless you’re lucky enough to find the kind of person who sees what makes you unhappy and can help change it (and that only works if not done out of self-interest (such as fear or self preservation) which is often people’s motive for seemingly wanting to help a partner resolve issues).Mistermaumau22-04-2025
- The question is, did he listen? All this media food is just cup half full or empty strategies to make it sound as if they know what they’re doing perfectly. You either play it safe or risky, Tadej seems incapable of playing it safe. Great if P-R recovery went well but maybe it would go even better without one or both of these intermediate races, nobody knows in advance but IF your main goal is LBL then treat it that way and don’t care too much about the others, ride them to prepare for LBL. Not sure that’s what we saw last week and not sure what he’ll do now BUT, why not take a leaf out the book of a master and consider riding this one in support of another team member to give a chance to, it won’t hurt your reputation, on the contrary, as the JP/MVDP combo shows, people appreciate it, and if you imply you MIGHT in advance (obviously no need to warn rivals which strategy you’re going to adopt), nobody is going to criticise you for “losing”.Mistermaumau22-04-2025
- 🤣
KerisVroom22-04-2025 - Regardless, now not only is he relevant again but he’s trapped you and your likers into finding a connection, similarity or point in common between him and Tadej. Funny yes but there is no such thing as bad publicity, all publicity increases relevancy.Jumpyjohn22-04-2025
- yeah, certainly that’s beyond anything i know about tom’s life, but, as you intuit, it’s hard to make anyone else happy when you are profoundly UNhappy.OCexile22-04-2025
