- It's a good one, maybe we'll find out 1 day why...
- Simply put, the blogger posts to show how he was keeping up with a pro rider (otherwise, he wouldn't keep looking down at his computer and record the numbers). Nothing more to this than vanity and whoring for attention, and when an accident happens, the better for the blogger to get more attention through clicks, and as a result more people commenting (like me) and can subscribe (not me) to the so-called wanna-be instagram 'blogger'. How the world has changed for attention.
- Can anything in sport happen anymore without drama, accusations, and sensationalism from social media types? Let it be for Christ sake.
- I see. From a different perspective, all people are equal. If I was standing beside a cycling "star" and a cycling "public" person, there would be no preference of attention given to one or the other. I appreciate the pro cyclist performances equally with others.
- Mm's comment was nonsensical, thus I offered a nonsensical reply. Nonetheless, the logic tracks. Barriers are not at the zoo to keep "normal public" away from the animals. If they wished to do that, the zoo would just close and release the animals back to their natural habitats. The zoo is there for the public. Similarly, pro cycling exists to entertain the public for the purpose of marketing and entertainment.
- The problem IS Instagram/YouTubers who make these videos; other than the guy in question, theirs an/other guy who lives in Majorca and follows Pro's around.. it's this Pretence' that's caused/ing this problem, Spectacle of the 'super-star' professional riders, in recent yrs also, an upped media awareness and scoping, strangely since Eurosport sport got sold, to the Americans.. + media reporting of Pro even farting is getting airtime, yes it's that stupid, now! It's hard to even read, that style of reporting. Like back in the day, you'd know a rider is training for the coming season, yet now I even know what Pogacar has been, it's just too much now, I'm tiring of this much media attention, no wonder a UK pro scrapped the sport suddenly... the media interest is just TOO MUCH
- Personally, I speak to the other end of the leash before approaching. As for barriers, by my logic the exact reason they are there is to STOP normal public approach so please clarify your logic.
- Don’t get it
- The guy is working and the amateur should know that, maybe remember that next time someone at work gets a bit too close :-)
Was it a technical descent coz I can keep up with just about any pro on a safe downhill thanks to some extra kg, besides from Strava data, it’s obvious pros are rarely pushing their max in training at this stage.
- Yates retired because Visma would not let him do the Giro because of Jonas Vingagaard. Plain and simple that's what happens when you become a rigid team like Visma.
