- Very pleased for Toon Aerts. He missed so much time with the unfair ban. I love watching him race as you can see every bit of effort he puts into it.
- Pleased for Toon and a reward after the typical UCI selective doping bans, he gets done for things other folk get waivers far!!
- A fabulous race, Ronhaar was great against the wall of Dutch riders, Nys was never looking that great, and Aert winning does feel a bit odd, but he raced incredibly well and deserved the win.
- Go greed!
There are numerous ways to improve the sport's profits (and team budgets) that do not include charging admission for people to stand on the road they likely in part paid for. Eschewing these in favor of stripping people's rights for the purpose of funding race budgets cannot be much else than laziness or greed.
- Maria,
He didn’t say anything at the time about having a good time and not realising Tadej was actually suffering and saying it now changes nothing because there’s no more bluff possible.
If you would follow more interviews in original languages you would get a broader overview of all that goes on.
Another subtle statement that’s pretty revealing about UAE race strategy :
« There’s a really good atmosphere. Before the stage, it felt like we were in school—no one was listening to our team director on the bus."
Sorry I don’t appreciate teams financed by bad players or the riders that decide to pursue their career through that. For me sport has to be even more moral than other things in life and if you don’t have a CV moral guide for sport you either don’t have it for much else or you are hypocrite. No point fighting for human rights, worker or pollution protections or other causes if when it comes to sport we throw it all out the window when it comes to who we root for. And as far as your boy goes, if there is ONE person who could decide who he wants to ride for and for what price, it’s him, but no, he happily plays that game like Ronaldo et al. so can’t expect everyone to fall at his feet.
- Go do some more serious research on the net mij
- I think that’s the case of most cyclists, not exactly known for achieving much outside cycling. Besides, being proud of something yourself is not really a reference. Hitler was probably proud of himself in many ways.
- Ha, you’ve obviously read up on all those positive but are keeping some of the details to yourself.
- Partly true but that’s also hiw you are now generalising it. In most cases, the criticism is directed at those doing the comparison and not the riders themselves, and when it’s the riders it’s pretty obvious and rarely based on comparing.
- UCI would do well to install an obligatory supplements log database for riders as some of the cases show.
If a rider is suffering from a condition that merits receiving controversial medication or products that could cause passing threshold values or unusual passport values, should these actions not be communicated and be verifiable in real-time before any controls so the information can be considered with the analysis and there is no sense of hiding information or post-positive excuse finding.
