    Effects of coronavirus on professional races

    For the last time. I never said HIV is similar to covid-19. I mentioned it as an example of a virus for which there is no vaccine, even after 30+ years. I don't think you understand how clinical trials work since you wrote this: "As there are dozens of vaccines being developed specifically for...

    Effects of coronavirus on professional races

    I’ll give it one more try. There are viruses for which there is no vaccine. Besides HIV, there’s Dengue, Cytomegalovirus, ... and others. There is no certainty that we’ll get a vaccine ever, let alone soon. We should focus on improving our immune systems instead. That will not only reduce Covid...

    Effects of coronavirus on professional races

    That's not the point and you know it. People are talking about a vaccine against Covid like it's a certainty and HIV clearly shows it isn't.

    Effects of coronavirus on professional races

    I hear all this talk about a vaccine, but that's not a certainty at all. There's no vaccine against HIV, is there? If there's no vaccine by this time next year, you'll have severely damaged societies and populations with nothing to show for it. I don't understand why so few are talking about...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    The average age of Corona victims in Belgium is 83 years, which is even higher than the average life expectancy. It's a valid question whether it's worth shutting down society, compromising kids educations and ruin a country's finances for. I'm not even talking about the mental health of many...

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    I think he knows that he's much better than anyone contesting the GC in the Giro. He beat most of these guys with ease earlier this year. Thomas could have been a competitor, but he's gone now.

    Teams & Riders The Remco Evenepoel is the next Eddy Merckx thread

    I was pleasantly surprised by the documentary. It wasn't too sensationalist and the interviewer didn't impose himself too much. Sure, it wasn't very critical, but that's a consequence of the format. I can't imagine how Evenepoels loved ones must have felt watching him go over that wall during...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Ah yes, dr San Millan. I know that it was difficult to escape doping in the nineties and early '00, but this is a very 'dirty' resumé. "His cycling experience includes work with 6 professional cycling teams, 1 Tour de France winner and 16 Grand Tour (Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a...

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Heulot was a team mate of Gianetti and worked with him at Saunier Duval. I think he can judge whether performances are credible or not. That newspaper may be dodgy, but it doesn't invalidate what he's saying.

    Well, well, well. Heulot doesn't believe it either. Welcome to the club, Stéphane. https://www.ouest-france.fr/tour-de-france/tour-de-france-je-ne-regarde-plus-ca-me-degoute-dit-l-ex-maillot-jaune-stephane-heulot-6981305 I wonder whether he's referencing to Van Aert when he talks about this 75...

    Ok... I thought you were talking about the Armstrong reign in TdF.

    I wonder what's worse: that you've gone full conspiracy theory or that you might be right.

    Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

    Really? Ricco, Piepoli and Cobo? The last one got his Vuelta win taken away. Wait a minute... I think all three may have had the same team manager. Who could it be?
