Honestly, I remember what I thought about his strategy at the time way better than I remember the details of the actual race right now, so the best I can do is tell you to search for the word "Roglič" in my post history, see if you can find my opinions from 5 years ago and whether or not you...

The whole point is that he could have won it if he had been better at strategy, which in turn would have made him better than Pogačar overall at that Tour. In fact, the reasoning only works because he lost to Pogačar fair and square

Not seeing how Roglič could possibly have won the 2020 TdF requires having even less imagination than Jumbo demonstrated during the 2020 TdF

I thought the story was that Armstrong didn't really pay off the UCI to cover up a positive, but rather that Armstrong was notified (as was the standard protocol at the time) of a weird test result that wouldn't really have gone anywhere as per the rules at the time but he thought it was an...

Strangeweather. They broke up years ago but they were pretty excellent. Quite dark sound, doom folk sort of vibe View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDKCyes0mH0 Enda Scahill & Joel Andersson. Every other Irish trad musician has recorded their own version of "O'Neill's March" but this one is...

Well it's inherently very subjective, but in my opinion yes, undoubtedly

Back in the day we had no rider threads, we only had individual threads for individual topics. It encouraged holistic discussion and discouraged cliques. There was relatively little fanboyism. One day people started making rider threads and it's all been downhill since then Weirdest thing is...

If he's still difficult to work with we'll hear about it because there's basically zero chance he'll leave Movistar on friendly terms

You're inverting the terms. Nobody is saying someone who does great in the junior category will also necessarily be a world class professional cyclist. What people are saying is that it's rare to see a world class professional cyclist who didn't do great in the junior category

I hope he's aware no one in his new team is ever going to get his name right (I mean, that's a joke, but Movistar does have a sketchy record integrating riders from outside the Spanish-speaking world)

Honestly? I'm not sure most of those voters understood the assignment But there might be some sort of weird generational gap at work here
