- Completely Biased. If Jonas doesn't have the talent then He is actually criticizing Pogi for not winning the Tour due to stupidity and laziness. Remco is far behind Jonas in the Tour and the dude cannot criticize him.
- Thats just stupid. Ineos where there were no leaders for cobbles except Piddie who never came in the top, if he had performed, he would have got his chances. At UAE, he is not going to be Top dog over Pogi
- neither did much good.
- RIP also Agnes Keleti 104 (not a cyclist, just an only unlucky 5x Olympic champ).
- It was actually my aim to suggest using as many different alternatives for the Texas Turd as people’s imagination allows but from the disappointing feedback as to my more important suggestion I can only assume that despite all the « tough » talk here, nobody really cares that much about change. Respect for your « travels » even if idealogically and politically I was 100% against both and I think history has shown neither did much good except maybe for a select group of mostly egoïst who had nothing to lose like shareholders in companies best not named either. I think your experience in Portugal will work out just fine, don’t forget to take your bike ;-)
- planning to NOT be an ugly american while living in portugal! learning portuguese is a massive goal and already underway. objective is to leave a small and gentle footprint of our own while embracing the people and everything else that made us want to live there. unlike you, my only extended and repeated experiences in countries other than the US are iraq and afghanistan. i have not considered emigrating to either.
•my voldemort comment: i probably was being a sloppy (and tired) reader but i thought you suggested not using lance’s name, as in “he who must not be named.” but i don’t think that’s actually what you were suggesting, hence my lame comment made zippo sense to you. at best it was a DAD JOKE anyway.
- Just goes to show how much training has changed over the years. I remember a time when pros rode with total amateurs on certain training days, not only can they no longer afford to ride so relaxed, some are probably contractually banned from riding with uncleared others, if only for accident and insurance purposes.
- Likewise, the same can be said for just about any sport. Still doesn’t change what Pogboom said.
- I think anyone setting out obsessed to win it is doomed to fail. It only happens to a couple of handfuls every generation, maybe just a handful during anyone’s best career years. We had a period without « outstanding » riders (almost 10 different winners in 10 years) where it would have been easy, he may be resigning himself to the fact he just came along at the « wrong » moments and it may be best to focus on other challenges whilst waiting to see if a good opportunity to win after all comes along. He’s probably weighing choices, copy JV by sacrificing everything for the TdF or do his own programme and hope the right opportunity to win presents itself. He still has time on his side.
- You expect him to talk about other riders instead? Maybe write to journalists in order to suggest directing better interview with him if you want it to change.
