  What a load of nonsense.

  Thanks Thomas may i suggest you tell other teams how to ride or perhaps give the special stuff to help that you used to be in the peleton may make them go faster or give them Dutch courage 🤣🤣🤣

  Well, if you look at past winners, the percentage is pretty shocking and from having learnt about human nature, I’d find it VERY hard to believe suddenly everyone (especially people wanting/needing money) has lost interest in discovering new enhancement products and selling them. Now, apart from suspicion, what else happened each time in the past when something undetectable was introduced? Exactly, nothing.

  Hey mij, You have some points but either you’re blatantly simple, brainwashed or deliberately selective in your arguments and logic which can all be deconstructed or countered simply or extensively. Do you want me to make some comments on your statements? Am sure you know things are more nuanced and have hear the expressions like one man’s trash/pain/loss/poison is another man’s treasure/pleasure/gain/food. You don’t have to offend everyone else to get at Mou.

  Pretty good points Some more, 90% of the sport watching population has their main vacation time around July/August, it is why almost ALL major sports events (except ice/snow dependant obviously) have been, are, want and will be programmed then. Hardly anyone will take time to follow a Tour around during work time and if the stages take place during work hours, no media is going to pay top dollar for the privilege of live coverage. Now, if somebody would like to remind the likes of Tadej and the Union spokesperson that it’s likely their demands would lead to quite a drastic reduction in rider salaries, I’m not so sure they’ll stay as vocal with their « solutions ». I’m still ride in these temps (it’s actually more refreshing than sitting around outside), alone and without getting paid and certainly no slower than during normal temps (in fact, some days it feels like it’s easier to be fast in these temps) or having serious goals, the hard part is the first couple of days but you quickly get used to it and as long as you adapt hydration and avoid consuming anything nefarious, nothing happens. We’re going to get to the point of telling pro swimmers to stop in heatwaves because there’s an increase in drownings. Speaking of cooling down methods, maybe some of these are as dangerous as the heat itself. Many people drown from the reactions we have to thermal shock, jumping into cold water after being hot. Yet what are teams doing with ice packs and cryobaths? Maybe, again, it’s all about how resilient and experienced individuals are, no scandinavian would worry about sauna/ice bath consequences, but that doesn’t mean everyone should copy them without some initiation? Same with pros, no point to consider their fragilities similarly to the general population.

  Thanks for writing this. I've been saying this nonstop. The Westerners are full of themselves. They think that the only good cyclists come from France, Italy, Spain, Belgian, Denmark, Holland and Norway. They still think Eastern and South-Eastern European contries are less worthy.

  So @mij, you're proud of your orange orangutan president, who's killing school girls in Iran, more than 150 died. His gestapo Ice agents are deporting many innocent people and breaking up families, his gestapo Ice agents, dressed up as terrorists are also killing american citizens. Your president, that you're so proud of, is threatening Greenland again, He wants Canada to become america's 51 state. Your president is covering up for his pedophile friends... why? Because he's a pedophile himself. THE WHOLE WORLD HATES TRUMP, but that's not enough for you, is it? You're still proud of your president? Shame on you!!! PS: As for Europe... every European country today, has more democracy then the USA. Since your orange orangutan president, democracy in america is DEAD!!!

  You Pogi haters are doing everything possible to stop Pogi-Baby Hulk from winning the 5th Tour. The western media is talking about Pogi being doped to the gills, putting UAE in the shittiest hotels without AC etc. What will be next... ???
• slappers6614-07-2026
  Dear UAE Please stop being better than everyone else....... doubt this would be an issue if it were a Dutch, Belgian, French or Italian team.. old cycling just can't stand the new
• mus-musculuspeedypogigonzales14-07-2026
  Yeah, but I've heard cycling fans say, if Pogi was in team Visma, he would already be a 6X Tour winner, this year he would be "fighting" for his 7th Tour. What do you think about that?
