- i think you’d accept that the oil money is still in service of an agenda that ends with profit. it may not require profit from the team itself, but it’s still part of a MARKETING strategy that ultimately is profit driven.
- what i was saying is that more money being dumped into a sport is a sign that it IS growing in popularity, because major corporations don’t just take a complete flyer on some sport or league without metrics to justify it. everybody who says YES has to justify that yes, especially if the results are anything less than projected.
- Translation: My old training partners would laugh at me if I attributed my new abilities to new training methods.
- Not completely right, more money doesn’t always make sport more popular, maybe more expensive instead, ie, altering the profile of fans. We’ve seen it in F1, Football and elsewhere, it has been particularly easy to notice since oil money started flooding the market and that isn’t always in search of financial returns, hence the trend in all terms ending with washing ;-)
- I thought PLs comment was pretty dumb but this one isn’t going to get topped for the rest of the year,
Abstractengineer, he’s not only berating Pog but ALL the riders this way, including a whole load who won past editions who wouldn’t have with Jv participating. JC would make perfect viewing material as a Faithful in The Traitors.
- Sounds a bit complicated all this schedule scheming, especially now that MVDP has completely upturned his. Might change again everything again, something to keep the media busy ;-)
- i have this feeling that after the year he had and the year pogačar had that a lot of people have KINDA forgotten what a completely healthy vingegaard looks like. i’m not saying he’s better than pogačar or anything like that, i’m just saying that the gap between them is closer than is often acknowledged anymore. well hopefully have completely healthy versions of both this year at the tour, for the first time since 2022.
- so juan soto, major league baseball player from the Dominican, just signed a contract for $765,000,000. more money in any sport is a sign of its popularity and marketability, same with any business, right? what am i missing? it’s “not sustainable.” well, maybe not by the same people/companies who have sustained it in the past, but if the big teams are seeing a return on their big investment, then there are always gonna be new players entering. i mean, RED BULL isn’t running a charity…
- i get he was talking about money.
- i’m feeling pretty stupid right now, because i had a really hard time understanding what the heck madiot was saying. apparently there’s something that’s bad, or might be bad, and then there’s mathieu van der poel, and THAT thing is, ummm, not so good but might be cool or isn’t. and yeah, it’s just this whole big thing…
