  Do you watch dog racing too? Do you remember what Einstein said about madness? What are you watching specifically, the way his ass moves over the saddle more efficiently? You should really ask yourself some psychological questions if what you enjoy is watching someone do exactly the same as all the others only slightly faster some of the time but not in any way noticeably without the immediate proximity of competitors. Would you watch time trials if no results or times were taken? You should really think about the real reasons why you enjoy watching someone much more than others (or why you can’t enjoy watching others doing the same). If you would argue it was for other reasons than simply wanting to watch the best (and I’m pretty sure you don’t watch e.g. cyclocross or kayaking because you want to dictate a hierarchy in sport) I would have more understanding (nothing else) for your choices (nationalism, ego, prediction talents, etc.)

  In theory you’re right but sometimes news is sparse or not funny or the discussion rather limited or predictable so a little lighthearted mocking can be a welcome distraction. Also, it doesn’t hurt to attract to agendareers and schemers.

  A suggestion to commentators, prepare to include interesting unrelated material when there’s little to report on. This is why the TdF grew an audience, it attracted more than hardcore cycling fans or fans of particular riders who’d find it interesting to hear or even discuss their choice of toilet paper at home. If you can’t keep viewers’ attention with surroundings, history, tourist information, etc. there’s always, highlights, best of past races, betting odds, international newsflashes, weather forecasts, etc. or the suggestion to go make a cup of tea. In fact, maybe the whole idea of one long live broadcast is the problem, a general sports update during the race would probably interest many, like the format in football where they flip across matches where goals or interesting events happen. Can’t see the point of comparing watching a guy turning his pedals in a constant fashion on an empty road with one hitting a tennis ball in a different strategic place each time or moving around a football field in an infinite number of unpredictable combinations wrt teammates and opponents every minute.

  What a stupid comment. If they are as good and if not better why should they sit on seasoned pros wheels. Sexias is a prime example . Move with the times they are fitter and more hungry and more ambition. If you cannot abide being 2nd string find a new profession.

  Hey MajorPayne, I think you've noticed by now, how many fools there are in cycling, calling themselves "fans."... I can't understand it either. I guess Michael Jordan, Le Bron, Gretzky, Messi, Ronaldo, Shumacher, Novak Džoković, Federer, Rossi, Marquez, Phelps, Michaela Shiffrin, Venus Williams, Merckx, Hinault, Indurain... etc. were all boring.

  Listen to this BS: "Whilst I love Tadej (and Remco, who deserves to be mentioned here, too), @JumpyJohn makes a valid point, and he isn’t wrong @MajorPayne. It is a fact that today’s official broadcasters of cycling struggle to keep our attention once the likes of Tadej (or Remco) attacks at ~80km or so.... bla bla bla ... OK, now I wil bla bla bla ... Reading BS comments brings me to saying: Let's cancel road cycling as a sport. The history books, that will be read in the future, will say: "Years ago, there was a sport called road cycling and it stopped to exist. A cyclist from Slovenia, Tadej Pogačar-Pogi, was so good, cycling became boring. Everyone stopped watching, even the Slovenians. Snooker, curling, chess, dart throwing and Olympic games shooting (rifle, pistol and shotgun) which is watched mostly by the Americans, are very popular sports... bla bla bla bla ..." ... STOP MAKING FOOLS OF YOURSELVES!!!

  Look at all this BS!!! Yes, I repeat...BS...!!! - Tadej Pogacar's 2027 Tour-World-Vuelta combo under scrutiny. - We're going to have nonstop Pogacar action pretty much from the beginning of the Tour to the end of the Vuelta. - It's a surprise that he's announced his intention to ride the Vuelta so explicitly. - Can Pogacar keep his form throughout Tour and Vuelta? - Pogacar won't be able to recover much, but instead train to maintain his form - and that could prove costly for the Vuelta. I just don't understand. Is this hatred towards Pogi, or just sheer stupidity? 1) Pogi proved this year that he had no problem winning the Vuelta after the Tour. We all know he would have won by a big margin if he didn't crash out. 2) Last year Jonas proved that he could have won the Tour and Vuelta, but unlucky for him, he was second in the Tour. If Pogi wasn't at the Tour, Jonas would have done it. So WTF are they talking about??? 3) Pogi proved in 2024, by winning the Giro, Tour and WC, that it was no problem for him. If journalists have no material to write about because of cyclists winter break, then don't write anything...

  He’s already had months off racing, so he’s probably ready to get back to business.
