- VdP is adding so much colour to this year's TdF. It's inspiring. I know he won't be there in the mountains, but I hope hell be there in Paris, he might have a shot there too with the new route.
- Love this move. Nobody wants to take advantage of another's misfortune. Respect.
- How sad must your life be to threaten somebody like this. You're absolute sc*m.
- Can you explain where you saw him do that or did you just take Pog’s word for it?
If it’s easier for you, you’re welcome to criticise the image analysis I posted for the parts you consider wrong. I also think the fact practically no rider/commentator has made much of this speaks volumes.
- On the other hand, you can almost see the worry going through his mind as he’s approaching it, oh nooooooo shiiiiiii.
Impressed by the speed with which he got help.
- Yeah, ok, and how is that information supposed to become clear in-race? That’s about as realistic as shooting down planes once you notice they’re heading towards towers.
- I’m not completely agreed on the fans paying part. Image rights for cyclists are in embryonic form except for a handful of rising stars or those who’ve been picked up by goods manufacturers or service sellers. The VAST majority of salaries is paid from sponsor money and teams have a hard time finding/keeping them, cycling, like sailing but popular is a cut-throat business where you can’t rely on fans to finance anything.
The nearest a fan gets to helping a team is when they buy used material at sometimes overinflated prices when teams might not even have paid for it. Your screen subscription largely goes to others, broadcasters, UCI, governments, race organisers, etc. Prize money is pretty marginal, roadside watching is free.
- Bunch of dopers cryin' again! Once you have you're own team you can make those calls Gerogie!
- If he crashed because he himself chose to take deadly risks, they should have continued. But if it's because of a bad move someone else makes, they should wait.
- The correct quote is " stroke of unluck". This makes it sound like Jonas is saying something entirely different.
