    Not even close. After Evenepoel's Lombardia crash they let him train unsupervised/unmonitored for the most part, a rider of 20 years old at that time with nearly no experience after a near career ending injury, hence doing further damage to his body and injury. He had to again stop riding for a...

    Most exciting wins of 2025?

    I have no idea which race you are talking about, and Remco losing a race is hardly newsworthy. Unfortunately we have come to the point where Pogacar losing is. If I meant Remco winning a race, I would have said that. But that is not what I meant.

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

    You can't compare both years. Last year he had a great TDF and followed that up with double Olympic gold. After that he didn't have enough time to rest and recover, and his Worlds to Lombardia spell was clearly much worse than it was this year. This year the entire summer went to poopoo because...

    How To Say my name! Pronunciation thread

    If you had followed my reasoning from the beginning, you would have read and known i am opposed to using a local dialect of pronouncing a name. A Texan will pronounce his name differently from a Londoner with the same name. I doubt you want to be pronouncing the same name from the same origin...

    So, Magnier's previous trainer had him train a lot on intensity and not on endurance. He supposedly looked like a body builder and it ruined a large part of his spring. In fact, it was Merlier who had to tell him he was overdoing it. So, how did this guy become this trainer? How on earth did...

    Assuming she herself pronounces the name correctly, yes. Erm, i never said anything about O'Connor so why did you make the assumption i did?

    Who will reach 100 wins (2025 version)?

    Theoretically all of these guys can make it, depending on their schedule. Let Roglic do Algarve and Tour de l'Ain and it's a good bet. Sprinters are a lot harder to predict. They can drop off at any moment. A year ago everybody would have said Milan, this year he's been less convincing. He's...

    How To Say my name! Pronunciation thread

    My dear fellow, we were talking about surnames. Yes, there are rules for chosen names, first names. You can't just name your child whatever you want. But this has zero relevance to the issue at hand. You realise Martin is not an "Irish" name, don't you? Martin, Martino, Martine, Martijn...

    I did no such thing. I think the onus is on you here. Please show me these rules/laws.

    How To Say my name! Pronunciation thread

    There would first have to be an actual argument in order to lose it. I have yet to read a valid argument. Language matters, pronunciation matters, names matter. The core concept of names is to identify people and to determine lineage, over time and regardless of location. In most countries you...
