- I heard that it was the bare feet that did him in. Apparently the UCI are quite squeamish about that sort of thing ;)
- It needs a big name like VDP and their team to stand up to the UCI and say I'm not paying these ridiculous fines - and to do it during a grand tour
- I wonder what to watch today?
Tour of Slovenia?
Baloise Belgium tour?
Or enjoying Tadej's three-time ascent of the Col de la Croix?
Tough decision!
;)
- mus-musculuspeedypogigonzales: meaning
1) mus-musculus = common house MOUse 🐭
2) speedy gonzales = the fastest MOUse of Mexico... arriba arriba andale... 🌵
3) pogi = the fastest cyclist of Slovenia and the world... gremo gremo hitreje... 🚴🏻
- if he dont get a podium at the TDF it will be a failure for both Juan and Lidl-Trek. His team might not be in the top three but they need to aim up...
- Ne, ne, ne razumeš. Ta tip MOU, o katerem govoriš, je iz Hrvaške, jaz pa sem iz Slovenije.
- I don't like Dominique Serieys much (they way he got rid of Vincent Lavenu was cruel) but he wants to win at the Tour and I don't see any reason why he'd not take Olav.
On a different note, Kooij's rivalry with Merlier is great, especially as they are both riders who sprint skillfully, relying on positioning, drafting and timing. Jonothan Milan just mashes those pedals, and while you don't get to be one of the best I the world with pure power, he's often been disappointed by Merlier coming out of the wheel just at the right time. And Paul Magnier is successfully learning the dark arts which have made Merlier so successful.
- It was downright hilarious when he dropped his head in disappointment and then looked up again just for that small chance that he'd seen it wrong.
But I think that UCI only give the fines (which matter little for the riders) so they can say that they are doing something if they are criticised. There isn't anything wrong at all with him sitting shirtless in the hotseat, and especially after an effort as hard as that.
His look of utter disbelief was "He beat me in Sanremo, in Flanders, Roubaix was cruel and now here..."
- I doubt that is relevant in context, without him the viewing proportions would be pretty similar.
Also, is he searching out the competition that’s trying to avoid him or will they follow him where he races, try to answer it. Would he attract others if he showed some interest in his home Tour? Personally I think everyone would just stick to their own programs, very few pick races according to his.
- Would be cool if he did the research to answer his own questions, less time left for spending here
