- Die for your country? What nonsense Raf! I understand that that is a quote from Wilfred Owens anti war poem but you have used it out of context here.
- seems like he has no plans to retire early. that probably ends all the potential burnout rumors after last year‘s tdf.
- What kind of argument is that??????
He went as deep for the Tour last year and still contemplated doing the Vuelta before Worlds
He’s never skipped MSR for having gone deep a previous year.
Please provide some back up to this claim, also about the criticism aside from some irrelevant posters like us.
- And yet, some people go out of their way to put him down. Don’t need to remind of some of the comments before he came out of his dry patch.
- Oh boy, don’t push that finger too precisely.
- It doesn’t matter, there are people like that in both worlds.
Funny how nobody mentioned Tadej, who put « family » loyalty over country. Imagine (would be) soldiers would do the same, well, some did, were called traitors BUT they did change the course of history by prematurely ending stupid wars and practically NOBODY 20-30y later dares criticisethem the way their leaders back then did.
You should represent your country, for whatever, IF you believe it’s for the RIGHT reasons and the balance of reasons for/against is ok for you PERSONALLY. Jonas is no different to Tadej in that respect, both have their reasons.
Besides, as today again shows very well, NEVER confuse country and (temporary) leaders no matter how much people try to pressure you with guilt. In that respect, Belgium’s federation and all its demands on riders is a very interesting case to review.
- Can’t disagree there, no matter how much I appreciate Prim. At some point you have to make way for new generations, in fact, you should be helping not hindering.
- There was a lot of criticism for Pog for putting loyalty to his partner first on that occasion (and probably missing out on a huge boost to his international profile, Olympic glory etc. )
But the previous year he had gone so deep at the Glasgow Worlds that he had to be assisted off the podium, and he road that Worlds time trial while obviously still exhausted.
So he is not a good point of comparison, if you insist on comparing.
- It is impossible to dislike WVA
- Orange County CA guy - let's go!
