- love annamiek, BUT…
it’s not so easy for a superstar on the men’s world tour to just clear the decks and prep for an MTB championship. van der poel has more freedom than ANY of the other big dogs, owing from the fact that he carried Alpecin on his back from its inception and took very very short money compared to what he could have gotten in order to build things at his first and only pro team. everyone knows how much he loves mountain bike, but when he said out loud “i might skip the Tour to prepare for the mountain worlds,” the roodhooft brothers were INSTANTLY like “we sure love him and gosh that’s a nifty idea but, yeah, mathieu knows he can’t do that, not in this universe anyway…” Alpecin’s bread gets buttered on the ROAD, not on the cx or mtb fields.
- I love it when amateurs win national championships!
- Gianetti was on stuff nobody else had access to, nobody yet knows how he got his hands on it, it was experimental (it’s not even sure more than one or two labs ever worked on researching uses for what he took) medical stuff that in the end was considered even too dangerous to be used by doctors in emergencies so, sorry, if he had early access to unavailable products back then, he’s in a good position to have it again, especially as he never had to denounce any supplier or indicate where he got it from
- Only one man has won the Tour after turning 35 and that was in 1922 (Firmin Lambot). I'm not sure Primoz could win the Tour even if Tadej and Jonas didn't show up on the start line.
- Let us hope it will become historic. Not a Pogacar one-man show.
- Is the participation of pro riders in national championship compulsory in Belgium? If it is, then report of illness is less reliable. I can see why some riders may want to skip it to prepare for the Tour and use illness as an excuse to avoid punishment. I'm not implying that Wout is doing so.
- He believes in Roglic BUT the lineup (changed at last minute, after Meeus victory) has only 3 climbers (one of these co-captain) and the rest of the team is made up of sprinter/train of sprinter. I notice a contradiction...
- Nah... the Lion of Keyboard (a defaming criminal) explicitly CLAIMS TO KNOW there's a lot of money to cover up Tadej's doping. According to him, the substance is known, tests are positive, but a corrupt system is hiding it. There's no a super evil Gianetti brewing magic potions for Tadej. I don't like Gianetti at all, but let's not exaggerate, he was one more of the culture of his time, like many others who now are managers, DS, and so on.
- 'The Belgian rider began the Giro with poor form and only in stage 9 did he show the best version of himself...'
He came 2nd on stage 1, having been pipped to the line by Mads Pedersen. Hardly poor form. I think he'll be fine.
- As I’ve implied before, if there is doping* in Tadej’s case, it is highly unlikely he’s aware of it after that, knowing enough about the MG story and the sad character he is (what kind of person do you need to be to personally go around altering the unflattering facts of their Wiki pages and then adding ridiculously pedantic flattering ones?) I would not put it past him to orchestrate an updated version of what he probably did with Ricco. Not only should the guy be banned from cycling, he should be banned from having children. No better than the most doped and evil rider ever, just a bit smarter maybe. The other guy I don’t know much about but one is enough.
