Is it whining because it's in the media? Or do you actually find his remarks whining? Because the reserve bike not being setup correctly is just amateurism, and I feel that the rider can complain about that.

Its the whole "Im gonna look for other teams" thing when he's gotten 8th in the Vuelta and complaining about the ITT setup when Vlasov literally got top 5 in the Vuelta ITT.

Yeah I agree. I think he just feels the team didn't put enough effort in improving his ITT. I wouldn't say this in the media though, Bora won't appreciate that. Even more ridiculous that you do this in the last race of the season. Just go on holiday, and ask for more time in the wind tunnel during off-season.
So if one guy on the team manages to do a good TT it means that the other guys can't complain that their setup is crap?

I thought Belgians were supposed to be diplomatic. How did you guys survive for so long in such a small country in the middle of Europe?

Without hearing the actual interview it is difficult to judge the tone.
But he does sound like an entitled little ***.

Well, Bora rides Specialized, and also all other bike parts and equipment are from the best brands. I don’t know why Uijtdebroeks is angry.
Roglic also joined Bora because he knows they ride great material.
I‘m wondering about Uijtdebroeks now, but maybe it sounds worse than it is, with his relationship to his team.

He isn't complaining about the material. He's complaining that his team didn't properly configure the reserve bike to his setup.

I can also go buy myself a Ferrari, but if I hire Mr Bean to do the maintenance on it, it might not be able to perform to the best of its ability.
He should complain to the team and not do it via media.
Well if Bora "forgets" to setup bikes to riders specifications or plainly makes mistakes assembling them, Roglič will stomp them into last week. Mistakes like that can make or brake a race.

This. Let's hope that someone tells him politely (I assume team already have given him the 'non-politely' feedback) that he shoots himself in the leg quite badly by taking the public whining route. Big no no. Because no team excepts this sort of stuff from athletes.
It's generational. He's like a watered down Remco.
Bad analogy. Have you ever watched Rowan Atkinson race? He's a really good vintage car racer and he has a huge collection of fast and rare cars.

I thought Belgium only exists because neither the Netherlands nor France actually want their part of the country!?

Remember when Eddie Irvine failed to win the Formula 1 world championship, because Ferrari had only 3 tires prepared for him at the 1999 Nürburgring Grand Prix?

From what I understand, Belgium used to be a part of the Netherlands. So, more a case of Belgium not wanting to be part of the Netherlands.

Ok, let's say Baldrick instead then. I believe Tony Robinson is more of a train guy.
Yes, we're swimming in them.

Yeah I know. Even Luxembourg once was part of the Netherlands!
I was just stupidly joking around.

Yeah, was my first thought as well. Sounds like he tries to make them want him to leave as much as he wants to leave.
