- Yeah, looks slow up there.
- lol His aim was well off! MVP was well past him before the guy decided to spit.
- But you know that’s what makes this website live ;-)
- I hope he stays upright too and I hope that in this years Paris Roubaix we get a proper good old fashioned man against man race. Can't wait!
- What can you expect from a guy like that. Probably home now enjoying his pseudo fame before his evening session of paid sex chatting.
- There is a lot of wisdom in some of our older people and some have the wisdom to use it wisely. Others not so much.......
- I loved De Vlaeminck back in the day, but I have to agree with him: he probably is a little burned out. I don't see him winning much this year.
- Tadej is 26 year old, Mr. Sour. And now, as you said, because the money, the cycling is extremely professionalized and competitive: winning is very hard, even for very talented riders.
- How many grand tours did Vlaeminck enter/finish let alone win? This article gives "old man yells at cloud" vibes
- I think Hinault is right: Pogacar is the first rider since he and Merckx who can win such a wide variety of races with such audacity and verve. I hope by the time he is done, Pog is widely acknowledged at the greatest of all time. Unlike Merckx and Hinault who were (probably necessarily in their era) pretty unpleasant characters, Pog is a cool, refreshingly humble guy who routinely thanks his teammates after they've taken their last bleedout pull for the day, gives bottles to little kids in the middle of a solo breakaway, walks around and congratulates his competitors at the finish, win or lose.
There will always be those within the peloton and fanbase who resent his success, but he seems genuinely well-liked. He seems like the antidote to past other dominant champions who still inspire bitterness or disappointment.
That said, Paris-Roubaix is a race that is both dangerous and requires a lot of specialized experience. I hope he stays upright.
