- No one is more sexist against women than other women. It's almost always other women putting down each other, hidden behind the viel of sexism.
- Horners point wasn't about body weight and losing weight it was about tactics. He started with the pointing out the statement made by Demi right after the race to her teammate about being stupid and too heavy. The entire point Horner is trying to make is power to weight ratio matters regardless of your size and understanding that should drive your tactics. If you have better Power to Weight you can have your team pull you to the last climb and attack. If not, you have to use your team to attack and wear your opponent down. This is exactly what Visma tried to do in the mens race but failed to wear Pogi down. His point is FDJ and other teams tactics sucked.
- It's obviously hard to say, he would do well I'm sure but I think the best climbers today would drop him. He was also a heavier rider even though he was only 5'11", his weight hovered around 160 lbs. I believe Tadej or Jonas would put ten minutes into him on every HC 2,000+ meter mountain stage finish. Maybe with better nutrition he could have dropped 20 lbs in today's environment and been more effective.
- I guess your talking about Tadej and someone else, Eddy tested positive in '69, '73 and in '77.
- His last year will be 2030, his current contract will have matured and assuming he invests wisely he'll have more than enough money for the rest of his life and his kids when he has them, not to mention any post career sponsorships.
- Yep, part time pro's, not like today where even the worst rider spends all year training with the best equipment.
- tom can be so brash and sometimes sound cocky or, at worst, self absorbed. but he’s known mathieu (and wout) for so long that there’s nothing but graciousness and admiration when he speaks of them.
- i think the question is what could/would eddy have done done against the modern peloton if he had all of the training, dietary, scientific and technological advantages of a modern pro from the age that they start getting all of that. that’s obviously unknowable, but it is a fun question to try to puzzle through.
- i’m not saying that eddy needs to be hated and despised with the raging ferocity that some other dopers are hated and despised. i’m just saying that blatant hypocrisy isn’t usually a good look for anyone.
