- Ben has pulled off two fantastic rides this Tour. It would be great to see him on the final podium. Like Pogacar, he rides with his heart.
- so yes, you’re right, it is definitely NOT the doping most of the overly animated posters are railing against.
- yeah. and merckx. and anquetil. and moser. and delgado. and and and… SO much easier to name the champions who DIDN’T get caught. ummm… lemond, indurain, and… yeah, lemond and indurain.
- Or Majka, one of the most selfless, reliable domestiques in the peloton
- Could have brought Ayuso. He's probably healed up from the bee sting
- I think you’ll find hate commentators have very personal, particular and fluid criteria for their outbursts. Things that can set any of them of: nationality, language, face, character, riding style, team, having beaten or denied their fav., domination, success, post-career activity, different opinions, being followed or popular, having supporters, It’s often got very little to do with the actual doping. Tom Simpson is a hero to many.
- i mention this ONLY because when other names come up practically every single comment screams “proven doper!!! never mention his name!!!” That perspective is totally fine with me, but i do believe that if one wants to hate or scorn any rider for doping then you have to scorn all of them. so… much as i like and appreciate both sean kelly and stephen roche, those who despise dopers should be consistent and get on with the business of hating these guys, too, i suppose. on the other hand, if you don’t really hate dopers, you just hate completely awful human beings who happened to ALSO be dopers, then i certainly get that perspective as well…
- Until now he couldn’t and neither could others but that’s not to say he won’t bridge the gap at some point, obviously he’s a couple of years behind, would be interesting to know how he’d fare being up against 2022, 2023 Tadej & Jonas.
- Funny you noticed, before Simon’s move to Visma Adam was the right Yates :-)
- Ok, unfortunately both of you guys forgot to tell us and, Yates won though I don’t exactly understand what calling the break means, did you win at lotto my getting the 6+1 numbers right?
