- Why would you expect cycling to be different than any other sport? World Tour riders pass tests in and out of competition, so the playing field is as level as can be found in any high level competition.
Barney02-05-2025 - I'd love to believe in TP but I can't help somethings in the bottles and it's not Ribens or Water... 🤔
leedorney02-05-2025 - Anna Kiesenhofer used the same method to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, intervals while wearing her winter gear. Seemed to work really well for her!RidesHills02-05-2025
- He did not step down as owner, that was in 2010 but he obviously kept a financial interest. He stepped down as CEO but is still a board member.Mistermaumau02-05-2025
- Ok, you’ve posted this 3 times now on the same thread, we got the message. Please prove you’re human and don’t have an agenda by saying it a bit different next time :-)Mistermaumau02-05-2025
- I just saw the Romandie stage 3 win. Do i want to see a last km mountain sprint between a dozen climbers or a long ranger by Pogi? i will take the 2nd one any timeabstractengineer02-05-2025
- Patrick did leave the team. He was just on a podcast giving his opinions on his former team's performance. It mentions, 'former boss' and the story about Remco being chased by BORA was last year while he was still in charge. Hope this helps :)poncher198202-05-2025
- I thought Patrick stepped down as owner. I know he had some health issues recently but I thought he stepped aside earlier than that. Could someone explain this to me please? I swear I heard he had stepped aside
kaos02-05-2025 - Ayuso is the problem child for UAE and he reminds me of another Pidcock. He's a great rider but he's not the great rider he thinks he is. He also won't get the opportunities that he wants at UAE so why stay? Go shine somewhere else mate. UAE keeps him cos he can win a few races but he's not happy winning just those races. He wants the whole deal. He wants Pogis spot and it's no secret. He's already refused to work for Pogi in the past. Go shine somewhere else lad. We won't be mad at you but don't blow smoke and say "everything is fine at UAE and with Pogi" cos they know what you're about and you're greedy. Just another problem child and we are seeing more of them lately. Pidcock was a big one and Ayuso has been acting this way for 3 seasons. ON YA BIKE THEN LAD!!!kaos02-05-2025
- I think Roglic could be the number one for the Giro. He has to stay upright tho😆 He seems to find a way to sabotage himself quite often but I wouldn't mind seeing him win the Giro. I don't like Ayuso, that's for sure. He's greedy and thinks he's gods gift. He thinks he's better than he is and he's not a team player. He reminds me of Pidcock. He's good but he's not happy with the opportunities the team gives him and he throws a tantrum when he's not given more opportunities. It's becoming something we are seeing more and more from this younger generation. They want it all and they want it now and they are going to do it their own way regardless but there's no room for that when you're on a TEAM. He needs to go somewhere else and pave his own road and see how hard it is when he doesn't have a juggernaut team to support him. I'm not a fan of his at all. I don't like selfish and greedy athletes. They are their own worst enemy and something always happens to them. It's just a matter of time before he screws up what he has going for himselfkaos02-05-2025
Such statements support a perfidious system of domestic violence against women. Why are the perpetrators being protected? Rohan Dennis' aggression problems were well known. Maybe it just doesn't suit your world, but he might just have killed his wife. Maybe he couldn't control his behavior and he didn't intend to kill her, but he did. Media, clubs, associations and associations have failed here too. Domestic violence by sports stars is very common. Male athletes are often confronted with a range of problems: Career failure, substance abuse and intense pressure to perform. Added to this are unresolved psychological problems, which are exacerbated by the norms of a patriarchal society that forbids them to be emotionally open and instead urges them to "get it together". Every day, women are killed by men all over the world.
