- I couldn't find the race broadcast anywhere so highlights will have to do. I have watched, several times, the rider send-off for Nairo Quintana, and I still haven't made it through without getting choked up. It's a beautiful tradition in a beautiful sport. Nairo was a champion and a gentleman. I'll miss him.
- Jawohl Herr Doktor Professor!
So, you include a bunch leaving, a bunch of Austrians, hypothesise poaching someone away from another more German team (I wonder how well that will go down), forget to mention or put into comparisn with how many Italians or Danes are on the team and you call this proof of being a German team? By that measure I now proclaim Uno-X to be Danish and can understand why Trump thinks Greenland should be his, or if not, American.
They probably don’t even use German as a first language.
Maybe in 3-4 years if this is their aim but considering how many times this team has already changed « «nationality » in the past, let’s wait and see.
I expected some serious or official information as to why Germany was chosen not why somebody feels there’s some relation, I already saw that with one of the sponsors.
PS please don’t make me check how many white guys are listed in the football team.
Sorry for the harschness but if you’re observant and not too sensitive (and today it’s best not to be) you’ll see some hidden humour in this.
- They have Patrick Konrad, Lennard Kämna, Tim Torn Teutenberg (leaving for Soudal), Max Walscheid (retiring). Felix Gall, Gregor Mühlberger, Georg Zimmermann are all incoming aswell as Grischa Niermann. They've got Benedikt Benz and Louis Leidart in the Devo squad.
I don't think they'll pull off the Lipowitz heist but they are certainly a very German team
- Piganzoli's win today, with a strong assist from Jorgensen, is just more weight against your claim. They still have one of the two best GC riders in the world, one of the 2 best classics riders, and one of the top sprinters...plus elite domestiques and a development squad as deep as any. Take away Tadej Pogacar and Visma is still as strong as any team in the world.
- That's your copy and paste response LOL !
Your mommy should take away your keyboard CLOWN !
- You are back with your American TDS crap again !
Maybe do some homework before typing next time!
- i dont give a monkeys about the poll ,its simple i dont follow him or his team.
- PR to Tudor hardly means the end of WorldTour, they basically get invited to everything.
Lidl-Trek German now??? Instead of asking if their football team is white enough, maybe that crowd should ask if their cycling team is German enough.
American owner, main sponsor
Hardly a German rider or staff member or equipment provider.
Anyone have background to this decision, was it gifted to guarantee a long-term commitment from Lidl the way Ineos brown-nosed Netcompany?
- Maybe their mechanics are willing to step in? Or they can convert a few on the bench of ManU.
- Opening a gap over Pidcock (who must know the course by heart now) on a technical descent must take some doing.
