- I'm a fan and hurts me to have to say - this is just plain stupid of both him and the team!
“We may have misunderstood the Tour a bit this year,” Vingegaard said following his withdrawal. “We made me better on the longer climbs. But it could well be that we should have realised I needed to be a bit more explosive and look more closely at the route.''
- LOL passing men is no significant achievement for elite female cyclists unless they are actually pros
- Visma's Vuelta gifting was certainly complicated, with JV having almost wiped out Kuss's lead before a public outcry led to Visma's decision to hold back. But Jonas seemed fine with letting almost victory go.
- I can read, and am responding to another comment or, dumbdevil
- imo the pogs gifting is way obvious... Visma riders obeyed team orders even though Kuss deserved his victory with Roglic having a sook.
- yup.
- I'm one of those who really hopes Pog is clean, as he has real (and entertaining) skills like attacking at just the right moment to beat Carapaz and Martinez on Alpe d'Huez, taking just the right line to pull away on the descent on Stage 6, crashing in such a way that he can carry on and win, or avoiding crashing over a bidon.
For me, the real moment of temptation to boost performance in some way would surely be when a rider is feeling desperate (whether to win again or simply not crack); and we might not be aware of such an inner struggle.
- So many reasons but let’s be nice and just say, the system preys on the naïve and usually once you realise something is up you’re already compromised so unlikely to shout it out.
C’mon, how much did you know about how the world REALLY functions as a teen?
Oh and lest we forget, you’re whole entourage (with more knowledge and experience) is rewarded how? Usually commissions, so what interest to protect you ethically as long as everyone plays the game?
- Since over 30 years cycling has talked about little else. Maybe that didn’t reach your birthplace at the time and as you left when the brown stuff hit the fan there…
- Didn't enjoy it anymore, always will be 2nd behind tadej
