- Never mind, take a break and look forward to the expanding family. As the women show, it’s always possible to make a comeback and if you discover you can’t be bothered then you know you didn’t miss out on anything. The team’s going to have to get used to you being gone anyway.
- If you’re going to claim people were beating Merckx in the Tour then maybe also explain how.
« mi). Eddy Merckx was attempting to win his sixth Tour de France, but became a victim of violence. Many French spectators were upset that a Belgian might beat the record of five wins set by France's Jacques Anquetil. During stage 14 a spectator leapt from the crowd and punched Merckx in the kidney. Frenchman Bernard Thévenet took over the lead. After Merckx subsequently fell and broke his cheekbone, he was unable to challenge Thévenet, who went on to win the Tour with Merckx second.«
That’s the point (though the dirty trick to disqualify him from the Giro probably influenced things too) at which he (kind of understandably) lost interest in continuing to build his legacy. Tadej will also not be winning the Tour much longer.
Other than that, very one dimensional article, only revolving around mediatised sports and completely ignoring women.
- The f* french media and the f* Pogi haters want to, once agian, to get into Pogi's head and they are talking about f* doping again. Every f* year the same shit. Pogi should show cycling the middle finger and leave all these f* behind. He's got enough money, and your f* french, belgian, dane, dutch etc. amateurs will start winning again, in your own cycling bubble. Enough is enough!!!
- If Jonas can already feel it in his guts that he's still fatigued from the Giro, but then considers winning the Vuelta again, then Wiggins' comment might make sense.
- lipo did not work with the group because remco was 30 sec back. had he worked with the group, maybe the groups wouldn't even have joined again. moreover, all of this doesn't change the unsportsmanlike conduct against his team(members). in industry you would be fired for this.
- LOL!
Is something unclear to anyone?
- Unfortunately, it’s human nature. When one’s favorite is not the one attacking 40km out, then the race is considered “boring”. But if their favorite rider was the one doing it then it’s “exciting”. I enjoy it whether it’s Pogi, Vingo, Seixas, Remco, or any GC contender that can put a 2 min gap in week one. It’s called competitive sport and if you can show dominance, that’s exciting regardless of the athlete. Or maybe it’s simply because some folks are mad that they’ve lost $$$ in betting on the wrong rider ;)
- Leaving the race because you finished second all the time? Naaah. What kind of champion will give up? If Jonad leaves the Tour isn't because he is a broken man, but he is fatigued from the Giro. What an odd prediction! We gotta give Jonas credit. He is mentally strong.
- Sometimes I think that Bradley Wiggins will say absolutely any old thing, just to hear the sound of his own voice.
- Yes, he is paid to race but a rider of his caliber is also trying to build legacy. It's doubtful he would stop racing the Tour this year.
