No one is more sexist against women than other women. It's almost always other women putting down each other, hidden behind the viel of sexism.13-08-2025 20:40

As someone who watched all the XCC/XCO interviews, Pidcock definitely gave an impression he was a bit of a diva. RedBull/Bora will have their hands full trying to control him.10-10-2024 16:13

That's a great point: Pog is not training any different, harder, or more than half the peloton. Almost every rider is following the same basic training and diet methodology these days, especially since WorldTour team doctors, coaches, and physios jump around teams. Every WorldTour team is designing their rider's lifestyle around racing. Even superior genetics will only carry you so far, but for Pog, that seems inhuman.10-10-2024 08:04

The "great junior rider" claim is a terrible barometer of potential. It works both ways. Lots of great juniors were also mediocre professionals. Likewise there were mediocre juniors who became great professionals. The body still has lots of growth and hormonal changes until the early 20's.10-10-2024 07:56

Let's be honest, the real issue is most fans no longer care about doping, so there's little incentive to spend money on grossly underfunded anti doping agencies. Doping was never considered by the common fan to be an organized, widespread issue until the 90's and the Festina scandal. The Armstrong years were so polarizing because the idea of doping and unfairness was fresh to the layman. Some 20 years later here we are and doping discussion has just exhausted everyone. The fact positive tests are few and far between these days only shows the bleeding edge of doping science is so far ahead of bureaucracy and testing methodology, there's almost no way to catch up. The only thing we can do at this point is retain samples for the maximum of 10 years under WADA protocol and hope the science catches up so they can be retested in the future.10-10-2024 07:50
