- "I won with panache, now I lose with panache. So there."
- ok
- Not you, I agree with you
- I got your point my friend. People still complain, well.... because people can still complain, free speech and all that
- You missed the point entirely
- The funny thing is that they were also using it
- I'm pretty certain most of the intelligence on doping comes from gossip and hearsay from other teams who are performing less well, it's probably down to jealousy and psychological mind games... Tadej wipes the floor with Jonas, suddenly Visma start bleating on about CO rebreathing, accusations about cheating without actually saying... you are cheating!
- That’s probably why he’s so popular but you’ll only get permission to ride instinctively if you’re good enough in the first place, most riders are employed to follow strict orders or plans, either because they are not quite good enough physically or tactically or both to pull something off to the end. It seems Women race more instinctively, probably because the lower stakes still allow experimentation, it’s more interesting to many viewers but obviously riders also fail in their attempts more regularly.
- ANY road safety in Belgium?
There used to be an excuse, so many of the older drivers having received a license without proper lessons or even without a practical test but rhey should all be gone by now and things have not improved much, does it pass on genetically?
- I fully support the way he rides. There are others who kinda ride intinctively also, but cycling is definetly not only about numbers like many obsess about.
I would definetly obsess about numbers, but if the result doesn't match my effort, then I made the desisions at the wrong time and I'm still ot happy, even if my power record is the same.
You see, 400w on the flats alone is a slower speed than 400w in a group, and thats again totally different than 400w on a climb. Yes,efforts matter, but position in the peloton might matter even more. Power gives an estimate of your race effort, and is one key in the bigger picture, so he rides for result and that's what should matter!
