- Pidcock has always come across as arrogant and not particularly smart. I’m not surprised that he, his team, and their sponsor would do something like this—and to top it off, they released the video on the anniversary of Gino’s tragic death.
- It's okay, Chris Froome rumoured 5 mil euro per annum contract comes to an end this year🤞. I doubt anyone wants to sign him as a rider with that salary bracket. I'll be surprised that he still want to ride for another year for anything lesser.
- Jan Christen? Is that guy a team player? Why would you bring in a domestique who doesn't follow the team tactics to the biggest race of the year?
- If you patronise in the wrong way, you are encouraging people to do whatever it takes, yes. If you throw your money at sport so that money becomes the prime driver for performance, it encourages more cheating, yes. It’s unfortunate but it IS part of the consequences. There are ways to follow the sport without money concentrating where it shouldn’t, just like there are ways and choices for consuming any product. It’s of course an extreme argument, nonetheless, if you want to prevent things going wrong, you need to look ahead to see how that might happen. That includes, how to deal with ideas like One Cycling, Enhanced events. I would guess that cycling took doping a bit more serious after Uknowletsnotnamehim is because they saw the whole story (mediaworthy and ironically therefor potentially money-making) as capable of turning away audiences and probably it did, had it not, they might have just swallowed and waited.
- More like keyboard police, judge and jury. Next he’ll be telling French people to write Putin and not Poutine ;-)
- Happy you got that out?
- As a general rule in evolution, every generation says that about new generations, with so e rare exceptions where you may have to skip one generation. What strikes me with oldies is how many of them grow chubby post cycling, none of the old guys I’ve cycled with are ever chubby. Even Merckx who still rides seems heavy.
- But he would be a wise man if he used the pre=condition "barring any unforseen event" in his prediction?
- This idiot seems to forget that a lot can happen in a 3 week race. It’s not just form, it’s a lot of luck too. All pog needs is for someone the peloton to take him out by accident and he could be out.
Remember pundits declaring Remco was going to win in the giro the other year, only to crash in bad weather
- You're saying that if you patronize the sport of cycling, you are encouraging drug abuse, knowing that doping is prevalent in the sport. In my point of view, I continue to patronize the sport, however possible it may be tainted by doping, because I trust that people are doing their utmost to ensure that it is clean. I take responsibility for giving that trust, because the civilized world will not survive if we do not believe in the goodwill of mankind. If it is proven later that Tadej doped, then so be it. In the meantime, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.
