- The real issue is why is everyone across all sports in this younger generation of fans so quick to claim goathood upon various athletes? The arguments are by definition all moot until a athletes career is over or winding down near an end when a clear picture of all accomplishments can be assesed.Part egoistic my generation is greater than yours mixed with utter boredom and cant appreciate the distilled present moment is likely at play here for the most part.Wheres the lie?
- I think a lot of them were busy screaming about other things that probably had as much effect. BUT, did you ever see Froome losing almost 10% of his normal riding weight? Has he gotten fatter since? AND, is it not maybe exactly this which explains why he’s never been able to perform since, perhaps if he’d adapt his diet a little towards what the others are doing these days, he’d find back a little power?
- You win the Tour with Asthma because you compensate for the disorder with something else. You can win uphill due to weight loss (hence why people wanted to use diuretics) without seeing the potential dangers and consequences (which may only appear much later). Why do you think sport makes more and more effort to follow and check athletes for more and more (potential) issues as the professionalism pushes them further and further into trying more and more extreme methods, the long-term outcomes of which always being unknown initially) From boxing to rugby to football to cycling, each activity has more and more particulars to keep an eye on
- We draw A line, just as we’ve had to for plenty of other things like diuretics, erythropoietin.
I note that Pauline completely avoids discussing the main issue the importance of which more and more of the others now seem to be starting to understand. Also, if you have looked at the TCA work, it is obvious this was already a sensitive issue before this Tour which is why the others were already questioning the method before her success.
- I'm afraid there wouldn't be a showdown, as Tom is on another level on the MTB, in XCO races.....MvdP has a problem crashing on the first lap; 3 out of his last 4 races have ended because of this.
The 2019 MvdP was successful, as he raced lots on the MTB, and became the best that season; 3 XCO wins, 5 XCC wins, plus the XCO Euro title.
- If people actually followed more than just pro road cycling, then they'd realise this is what PFP does for her main target every year.
She misses a few races, does training camps, and loses some weight so she's at her best for her main race. She even did an interview with Pinkbike 3 years ago before the 2022 MTB Worlds in Les Gets.....
She even mentioned it's not healthy to be too light for too long, as women need fat so they can menstruate and produce babies - and once her target is raced, she'll return to her normal weight.
All this is out there online - it's not new. Once again, the road world is on the back foot, because they haven't paid attention to other parts of the sport.
- Thats a good line-up for Vuelta
- Similarities end with their salaries
- For you, MrPerfectMauMau, never a doubt o contradiction even when teen ->Tadej Pogacar: "“It's no secret that I've made a lot of money from cycling in the last few years. When I was younger, I never imagined I would be so lucky; I honestly don't feel the most comfortable with this money. I know how people who struggle and who need help feel. My family always taught me to share my happiness and to help people in need. These values are close to me.”
- This must have been a list of all the different ways in which the word 'disorder' is used in cycling. The first two uses listed have nothing to do with eating disorders at all. Number 3 is the mention of the use 'disorder' as part of the term 'eating disorders'.
