  Van Aert has two monuments, not none. I can understand forgetting that he won San Remo in 2020, but what sort of cycling "journalist" could forget this year's Paris-Roubaix?

  Sadly i think Vingegaard will isnt in cycling as much as it needs to anymore, his will and desire judging by his wife comment and Jonas will to race. Going forward I dont expect Jonas to challenge the like of Remco, Del Toro and Seixas more

  agree, but EVERYONE knows what carapaz is about, the freedom he needs to choose his own moments, etc. i can’t imagine any team signing him and not flowing with his vibe. at least i hope not. gotta love the pure gunslingers out there.

  I was comparing to Demi and surely you’ll agree if performance and results were what mattered they would have tried to keep Demi and given Lotte a helping hand to find a team where she could lead. No disrespect to her achievements at all. It was like pushing Tadej to leave and counting on Ayuso

  Trine seems a lot smarter than most. Maybe you got stuck with a wife who forced you to go work your ass off for years only for you to have no energy for anything meaningful after work, no memories of being there through those thousands of beautiful little moments when kids learn or create, for retirement, etc. or maybe she already left you and Pog is your Ersatz? I admire him, already for having had the courage to have children and try to be a good father with the career he had AND still performing as one of the best ever stage riders. Can’t think of anyone else who so successfully combined two so diametrically opposed activities. Perhaps he’ll also be an exception and not become one of those old jealous moany farts cycling produces so many of because after (re)cycling they have nothing tangible in their lives. Of course, as a fan you would never think of the human side behind racing would you, but you’ll realise later, about things in your own life too, usually when it’s too late to change.

  American?

  Actually, you’ll find that subset of fans consists almost entirely of UAE groupies.

  Did Pogi pay him, or UAE? I think you’re mixing up a few details with your premature emotioculation.

  It’s actually not that difficult if you’re a serious organiser, it’s just that (for good and bad reasons), things are getting sloppy sometimes and too many are relying on the stars for nothing to happen. As I implied several times already where other incidents didn’t result in as tragic an outcome, this was bound to happen sooner or later, and yet it seems organisers (if they see those incidents at all) forget very quickly. As an amateur racer you notice by the course selection and condition that organisers place more importance on measuring distance, checking bib positioning or loudspeaker sound than safety, can’t even sweep away loose gravel in hairpin turns, signal protruding roots, railway tracks or broken off road sides, let alone manning side roads where anyone can pop up at any time. Maybe if amateur race incidents like these were reported on more often, people would notice how important it is to protect pros better, it’s not like there’s no money, it just had to be reallocated. Perhaps now is a good time for pros to be asked if they’d be willing to contribute to a safety fund that could at least stimulate more people to participate in safety than the ever decreasing number of volunteers that are relied upon. Also, it wouldn’t be too hard to put up signs at crossings warning drivers they face SEVERE penalties (which of course then have to be applied) if caught trespassing onto the course and organisers must demand that authority from public authorities if these agree to the course without allocating personnel. And before claiming nothing can be done : Any football match has extra policing outside the venue, who pays? Try entering a big marathon course with a vehicle, or a car rallye, how do they manage? As the French show almost every year, you can block whole cities or motorways with a couple of dozen tractors, maybe cycling just needs to forge new alliances because they really can’t count on car drivers to have their best interest at heart.

  I can’t imagine turning down a countryman who requests my presence. It would be an honor for anyone to represent their nation at worlds. What a waste.
