Well, I thought i’d be early here but boy is putting out Ullrich and Armstrong times, or sorry, he is destroying Ullrich and Armstrong-times in the tt. 2 minutes and 7 seconds to the big german and 3 minutes and 51 second to the disgraced Armstrong? This is Indurainesque...

It also depends on wheter the majority accepts the rider in question is doping or not. For some it would be ”anglophobia” to not accept Froome and whatever british that turned a leg around some pedals suddenly turning up as the best riders ever. For some it was ”anti-english” or ”racism” not...

It means that its the belief that his idol/compatriot or whatever would still have been the real deal had he not be a pharmacy on wheels. Its the same excuses, just a different rider. Now watch the complaints start about this being a eastern vs western thing as if Froome didnt have critics.

Indurain years was another case of watching paint dry but to be fair to Mig he at least held back most of the times (except in time trials). He could’ve destroyed everyone at every point if he wished (La Plagne and Hautacam was him unleashed) but he knew it was wiser to adopt a calculated more...

Would have been good if we didnt knew why there are all these sceptical articles. Will be a lot of questions why Slovenia suddenly is the new hotbed in international cycling whilst it was taken for granted that everybody who could ride a bike in UK became the best cyclists who ever lived for...

I dont know what they could do but i do know what they shouldnt do and that is going in hardcore defense mode towards ”their” riders. We’ve seen the likes of Liggett, Duffield, Kimmage and a lot more made it their personal mission to defend certain riders from blame, either because they are...

I cant and thats why i’ve been off from the sports in three-four years. I decided to sit out the Froome years because it was either soul crushing boring or frankly an insult to my intelligence every time i saw him on a bike or listening to the cheerleaders in media who pretends the sports never...

And this is why you wont see a proper fight for the top spot and not even a challenge. They know it, you know it, everybody knows it. You just cant say it yet but has to obey the partyline. I dont think the program is that widespread though and thats why it looks so ridicoulus with one freak...

I like attacks i can believe in. Beliefs that doesnt include some 50 km away attacks, pulling away from organised chasers at every inch on the road whilst laughing and sprinting up a col on the big ring. We have seen this for the past 30 years, everyone with an asterisk to their name if not...

Its the hope keeping me going mate. I really dont know how many ”best rider ever” presenting himself each decade i can keep up with. Its beyond laughable at this point. The difference with Sky/Froome/Wiggo domination is that it got shrugged under the pretext of a strong team, collective effort...

Yeah but thats the logical nature of competion were corruption is at stake. For the sake of intrests they wont let Pogacar (or anybody) dominate too much because it would endanger the spectacle. So in the case of Ullrich a jacked up Lance showed up with a white paper from UCI. Pogacars hope is...

Was also said about a certain Ullrich who bursted onto the scene at 22 and won at 23. It went dowhill from there.

God help us all.

We’ve seen it all before. Youthful enthusiasm meeting the Infinity gauntlet and suddenly they think its them. Cant stop themselves from there

Feck. Meaning he has some kind of carte blanche to ridicule us all in plain sight. I mean nobody mentions it but its all there to see.
