If you're trying to get the team the best result possible, the smart thing is to sit on. That's also the only way to have a chance to beat MVDP in this race. Smart =/= pleasant to race with01:23

Agreed. Road races are one of the least important times to have power readings.11-02-2026 03:26

People have been saying "cycling will be destroyed" for decades. It's not true. It's bigger than ever. It'll continue, just not in the form some want to see it in.01-02-2026 19:42

I never stated nor implied that some people don't want it to be better. I stated a few facts. The culture of India is very different from ours. It would be entertaining to watch all those cyclists ride by all that trash for hours!20-01-2026 21:37

I sincerely hope this goes well. That being said, try out the "Google street view trash" game in India. It's funny. Their standards aren't ours.16-01-2026 21:03

I was thinking of the Roubaix crash too, but it's a bit unfair, anyone can (and does) crash at Roubaix!23-12-2025 00:49

These whiners simply want to keep their hold in the highest echelons of the sport without having to perform well enough to please their sponsors and remain there. Cycling has been "unsustainable" ...for 130 years! If Vaughters wants to leave the sport, there will be hundreds of teams happy to ride the Tour and the biggest races in the world in his place. That's what happens when there's a ton of supply of teams and a limited amount of demand for teams at the highest level! -An Economist19-12-2025 03:40

1. No, the team owners want to have reliable money without having to actually perform. 2. It's "creative destruction". It's how things improve. Resources and labor are put to more productive uses. 3. That'd be more likely to happen if you listened to these "cycling is unsustainable" whiners. 4. There are thousands of pro races per year. Some teams are happy with a podium. Everything here is a Non Sequitur. -An Economist14-12-2025 03:05

These whiners want to be able to profit without performing, a permanent place at the highest level of cycling without having to compete. Any sport that does that is ridiculous! There are property rights. We know these teams benefit from this arrangement or else they'd race somewhere else or leave the sport. If they think they can run things better, then they should make their own races... ...Right, they tried that and failed!09-12-2025 22:34
