on the sand challenge: it’s like someone saying to bo jackson, “ok, bo, FINE, we’ll play a little football. but then, after THAT, how’s about we have a little home run hitting contest, SUCKER…?”01:08

sprinters do a lot of sand training to build power, but they’re not on a clock that demands they cut THE most efficient line through the pit. oh, and matthieu isn’t exactly shy on pure power himself. bon chance, jasper…01:04

phillipsen is one of his best friends, so i don’t think this reveals much other than that good friends like to give each other a hard time.00:48

one thing is clear, they have a very healthy, happy, relaxed team vibe over at alpecin. this certainly helps them make the most of the opportunities to win that their two big stars create.00:46

100% agree. i’ve never been a mountain bike rider or fan, but it’s something mvdp is really passionate about so i’d love to see him really devote himself to that discipline in pursuit of that missing rainbow jersey.25-12-2025 00:19

this article, which celebrates the hilights of his past, shamefully omits the shameful part where he abused his ex wife so severely that he was sentenced to three years in prison for it. great racer, TERRIBLE human being.18-11-2025 20:59

mathieu is zealously realistic. he never sets goals he can’t achieve, and never exaggerates his own chances. after watching this race and reading what he had to say about it, it’s hard not to see him as a legit contender for World’s.31-08-2025 23:37

it’s extraordinarily hard for North Americans to relate to the feeling caused by an aggressive foreign military presence taking control of what you perceive as YOUR homeland, because it has never happened here. the closest we get is 9/11 and as horrific as that was, in terms of scale it’s not close at all. the vast majority of people from the USA have absolutely zero frame of reference for what it would feel like to be a Palestinian or an Israeli, an Iraqi or and Afghani, etc. Almost without exception the EASIEST way for any people to understand the presence of an invading force in their home is “they hate us, they hate our way of life, and they want to destroy us.” that’s the starting place. not exactly a fertile field in which complex and measured reasoning has a chance to grow.29-08-2025 23:19
