Am I the only one who thinks that the name of Jay Vine's place of birth sounds like a generic town name from a computer game or something?

Apparently named for one Robert Towns, not the tautological toponym it appears.

The Stybar discussion was very painful to read.

I wasn't aware of something that had happened three years ago, so it seemed very much like the classical "forgot rider changed teams" thing.
Do you guys go around remembering every finish in every race for multiple years?

I didn't watch the race back then, but was still aware of Stybar's win. It was even mentioned in the OP.

But ok, I actually thought you just wanted to make a silly joke, but it now seems that it was simply a case of general ignorance.

It was a silly joke at DNP's expense, based on the assumption that he'd somehow forgotten that Stybar had changed team.
And also not caring about knowing the result of every damn race several years ago.
