Why is it weak? I agree with what Ten Dam is saying here. Not that I am right, it's just the impression I get from UAE as an outsider.

@Rob5091 is from the far future it seems! How he could take away all our suspense in cycling.

We often disagree but I agree wholeheartly with you here on this but. Many were LA fan, including diehard cycling fans. I remember well being one of the few who wasn't. Not because of LA, I also admired his story and livestrong etc, but simply because I was a fan of Der Jan 😀 Each year I was...

I still have to see Jonas beating MVDP in classics, what a sight.

I think Roglic should, in hindsight, have never left Visma. Back when he did I thought it was his best move to leave Visma. But now I think he should have stayed and retired there.

Agreed, here in the Netherlands no one gives a cent about NHL, NBA, MLB, nascar et cetera. Oke the few that play basketball care about NBA to some extent etc. Like you mentioned Americans who have a racebike may follow euro cycling. Most people here also find it hugely comical how Americans...

Agreed interesting to see what they will choose to do. I think they have the team that may give them confidence to keep going. If that's wise I dunno, depends of Vingegaard can maintain his shape. UAE leaders kind of underperformed here? Oke Almeida maybe expected for him on this type of...

He deserves a thread indeed

Haha great to hear, looking forward in 16 years or so to hear about Berniece Jr.

It shouldn't be compared to football, nba etc though. There ain't so many professional cyclists. I have no clue about golf but comparisons to golf, tennis and perhaps ice skating and other 'oltmpic sports' may be more fitting. Still of course getting to the conclusion that the financial model of...

Don't get me wrong... I also don't agree with all the things said here. For example I totally do not believe in motor doping. My main issues are with things that you actually can give some foundation, e.g. the role of UAE as you highlighted. And for me that's also combined with figures like...

Fair enough. I’m not saying everyone has to share my values. But if someone loves a sport and doesn’t care whether the athletes cheat, it makes me wonder what values they do care about. Isn’t fairness part of what makes sport meaningful? If your compass points only toward entertainment and...

True, also depends largely on how bike safe and aware the environment is I guess. My daughter is now 5 and can bike to school (only max 2km that is), but of course she always goes under our supervision alongside her. Not sure when she would be riding alone, 8? 9? She has a little brother so may...

Sorry to barge in and Congrats to your forum anniversary! 😄 But I was wondering, wherever you live, its normal to learn to ride a bike at approximately 8 years old? Where I am from we usually learn at around age of 4 (+/- 1). Funny thing of learning to ride a bike are these little tricycles...

Nothing absurd in calling the stance of not caring whether someone is clean or not, a lack of moral compass. You also need zero skin in the game to know that. Why are you people here in the Clinic if you do not care? You are wasting your time here.
