    I get it alright. All that embellishment amounts to "no seriously, he was going REAL fast" Unless Pogačar was making vroom vroom noises with his mouth

    I think riders aren't making clever allusions to motors in front of the media, I think motorbikes have always been used as the obvious go-to hyperbole for riders who go really fast on a bike for literally any reason

    What I don't understand is, if Pogačar fans are miffed that people talk too much about Pogačar, why do they keep bringing him up in unrelated threads

    Why doesn't the winner of the Faun Ardèche Classic get as much scrutiny as the guy who keeps winning literally everything under the sun, crushing the field each time. Like do you guys read your own posts sometimes

    Do spoilers in a race thread get your goat?

    You know what's more entitled than complaining about race spoilers in unrelated threads? Complaining that your fundamental right to post race spoilers in unrelated threads is being infringed upon I don't care either way. Hell, I don't even watch races, I've transcended to a higher plane of...

    Teams & Riders Cian Uijtdebroeks - From the wetlands to the top of cycling
