Which in turn is based on their actions. Take Roglic. The narrative is he crashes a lot due to either poor bike handling or poor positioning. Whenever he crashes, he’s judged much harsher than riders who are not surrounded by the narrative. However, the narrative did not just emerge out of thing...

You can’t be comparing those guys with Ayuso… I mean I know you remember McNulty being a domestique of the year in Hautacam stage in 2022, take Yates in 2023 and last year. Ok Soler has his moments but come on. Ayuso will not do a pedal stroke for a living soul. In fact, he’d rather be kicked...

What’s with all the whataboutism? Soler, McNulty and Yates can all be criticised for their lack of team loyalty in their respective threads. Though you’d be hard pressed to find a at thing remotely similar to what Ayuso is doing with those guys… I mean what’s wrong with this guy, seriously...

Not everything is a narrative and sometimes, facts are obvious. I don’t need to be manipulated into thinking Ayuso is a bad domestique - I watch races, you know. In fact, it’s you who is running the “narrative thing” trying to distort reality to fit your agenda…

What on earth are you talking about? Terrible domestique is an understatement. Outside of last years Galibier he has yet to spin a pedal stroke for anyone but himself. I’m betting Jonas has done more domestique duty after his first Tour than Ayuso has in the same timeframe. Ok if the results...

How convenient😁

It’s just double standards is what it is. You can’t be disgusted by Pog’s alleged cheating while at the same time being totally cool with a 100% proven albeit a bit less effective (in absolute terms) form of cheating. I don’t linger here much because I find this place to have much more to do...

No I just find it ironic that people who have so much to say against Pog’s (as of yet unproven) doping will use Merckx as yardstick for greatness.

Merckx was a doper

It’s almost as if it meant a better outcome to be lead out two thirds of a climb as compared to going solo from the start.

I’m afraid Blythe has a permanent concussion 😁

What did he say? Edit: sorry, got it…

1. Because they show sportsmanship 2. Because they care about publicity 3. Because Pog would do the same

He took a turn when being side by side with Pog. I don’t think it was physically possible to avoid the crash for Pog once THJ started his turn. No braking or turning from Pog’s end could change the outcome. So it can’t be anything but 100% THJ’s fault.

Not true. Pog’s deviation was a reaction to THJ deviation.
