- Just simply a masterclass, every race this year, a masterclass of how cx should be ridden. Even yesterday, nobody else could have done that with tow punctures in one race.
- Thibau has had a brilliant season, if anything in my humble opinion, he lacks the maturity that has seen MVDP do his thing on the CX circuit for so long that its second nature he finds that quickly or Del Grosso will be ahead of him
- funny
- Transposing your own feelings onto a different generation doesn’t work.
They certainly won’t be feeling pressured by data work which every young person and amateur has grown up with.
The ones suffering are probably the generation that had to go through the changes.
Plenty of youngsters are riding anything but robotically.
- Correct, though any defective device might become hard to replace.
Given Visma’s finances, they’d have no problem employing one of the out-of-work engineers for a while for support services.
I assume someone thought of that?
- Well, those arguments have just been Chrissified.
Much as I like him, Primoz is at best fighting for a very crowded, disputed and precarious 4th and that’s only in tours / grand tours.
Used to be 2nd, unlucky not to have been best longer, perhaps coming to cycling too late.
Hope he can take advantage of the chance he’s been given which in no way indicates anyone is avoiding a challenge. Winning things the most important objective of any team and you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
- Ok, not a shark but like I said, what’s the point to worry about cows in India preventing races from becoming popular :-)
In fact, in today’s world, such things are actually probably going to help attract viewers.
Edit (and I almost missed the dingoe polemic)
- Funny, in cyclocross we just had an article suggesting you should just sit on MVDP’s wheel from the moment he goes.
Personally, I’d say the best tactic for someone a little better than TB is to try sit on their wheel and do absolutely nothing to help them. Someone like e.g. Remco or WVA is sure to win that way (and at least another dozen have a good chance), fortunately that’s not in their character.
It may even have the effect of annoying them so much they abandon their move allowing the peleton back.
Seems more like other teams need to learn to pre-emt their attacks at all times and any well-organised team can counter their attacks even if it means holding back until a climb has been completed.
- Primoz is not beating Tadej anywhere, what a ridiculous comment.
- Doper Horner back offering unsolicited advice again!
