Re: Re: Sure it is a controversial statement, but it was just an underhand kick meant to destabilize his opponents. Of course Sagan still wants to win, and like many cyclists he prefers solo wins but still sticks to his best weapon, the sprint. And by all means it worked on both opponents and...

Re: Re: Arguing for the sake of arguing... You were a history major, weren't you?

Re: 2018 Gent-Wevelgem, Deinze › Wevelgem (251.1k) - March 2 Just finished his BSc degree, same age as Van Aert. Dutch Gaudin in the making if he keeps progressing like this.

Re: Re: If I were Moscon with confidence in my innocence, my smartest move would now be to join the search for images/video. Or at least pretend to do so on twitter.

Re: Re: Unequal prizes are rationally justified. Also, the whole women's peloton starts the WC anyway since it's the single most important televised race. This is not the case for men at all, but higher prize money could give incentive for top riders to go as a domestique or free role, even if...

Re: Re:

Talking about collecting pieces, Bardet was the one who profited from Aru going early and burying himself against that 20% wall.

Sky has been vulnerable on numerous occasions and yet their closest competitors(Bardet, Uran, Aru) have done almost nothing to capitalize on that. The only successful attack has been Aru's win on PdBF, others were all neutralized. And there is 0 guarantee that another chance will pop up.

Re: Quintana has started in his fourth consecutive GT now, and he has contended successfully for the podium until this Tour. You've got guys like Adam Hansen who also do this but they can take their rest days during these three weeks. At some point he needs to take some rest period in his...

Back in 1100 Grand Tours would start in Italy and end in Jerusalem, and they didn't even use bikes. :p But seriously, bad idea whatever the monetary profit could be. If RCS wants to start abroad, most Mediterranean countries are ruled out due to instability, not counting France and Spain...

Tonton, I know you're the number 1 Tibofan. But it baffles me how a mod can be so clinically condescending to a rival who has known so much misfortune and accidents the past year... Last year's spring started with a decent 2nd place ahead of Pinot on Malhao, and ended with back pains and a crash...

Aru and Pinot are from the same year, but their development is different. Aru only broke through in 2014, the year Pinot already podiumed the TdF. Moreover Pinot already climbed with the best 6 years ago in the Dauphine while Aru was still battling it out with Dombrwski and co on the Italian U23...

Re: I dont see Nibali likely to coop with Quintana, because that means going against him head to head uphill. Essentially he would give up the victory with the high chance of Quintana also putting time in him again. I agree about Pinot, he would settle for the guaranteed podium spot.

Legislation is built based on lessons learnt from the past; it should shape a better future, and not rewrite history. What's done is done, and knowing the truth of what happened helps us today. Moscon has been in the wrong here, but nobody's getting better from this. Instead of solving this by...
