As I said, if you really believe that UAE would just let someone throw "inside scoops" and ridicule and disrespect even there own riders, fine.

If you haven't found enough reasons the question Mou's legitimacy, well...there's no reason to carry on with this discussion.
The onus is on you to disprove mou's inside scoops, which you haven't. I also expected you to exit the discussion after I wrote that list.

All of Mou's "inside scoops" have been publicly available information. And he's been identified - I believe in this very thread - as just some Croatian fanboy. Now if you want to follow some unhinged asteriskshole who scours the internet for information about the greatest active cyclist, then go ahead. Just don't pretend, that he has insider information.

Seem to remember he came flying on to the scene with his "secret pictures" of the new and improved FTP. The language of the operating system on the device was Chinese, when confronted he just laughed. It was clear what he was, within the first few posts here.

A phropet does not need to be factually correct, or even to understand the meaning of their words or sources, phropets only need to speak the truth of their cycling gods.

All the discussions about if he's a real insider or a fraud seem to miss this point.

So the words of the phropet a are way for us, not for them, to discover the hidden truth.

That's where the fun lies, and the bliss of the touch of he (un)holy.

You're not distinguishing between race predictions and inside scoops. He does provide inside scoops. This is off the top of my head:

  • Predicted all of 2024 to a tee.
  • Pogacar's new trainer
  • Pogacar new and improved FTP
  • The races Pogacar will participate in
  • The domestiques that will accompany Pogacar
  • Race tactics
  • Cipressa in under 9 minutes
  • Drama within the team
That 2024 season, everything was co-signed by Bruyneel who said the same thing on the podcast. Like I said this is just off the top of my head. There's a lot more.
The bolded part: With that you just confirmed yourself that this mou didn't have any inside info at all. If Bruyneel, said the same thing, without inside info, why not some random mou?

As for the rest, a lot was predictable and predicted. I predicted the Giro-Tour double (although not here, in a more sane forum) No inside info, a mix between hope and the belief that a Giro-Tour double is possible and Pogacar the guy to do it.
As for the program, everybody who followed cycling for more than 2 minutes could have predicted that. As all the rest. If you are gullible enough to think you are getting inside info an a public forum, ok... the joke really is on you.

He had insights and scoop on what had been changed in training, which checked out. That Pog would be a lot better. Thats how he backed up his prediction. He didnt just say "he will win this and that".

It is the insights and scoops that pelotonIQ is actually talking about that was the interesting part, not really the predictions.

Gosh, I've avoided this thread due to lack of interest. But just went back and read the last few pages since early April. So much paranoia and nonsense. So what? I hope you guys don't read the daily news your heads would explode with the nonsense there.

Personally I think Mou is comic relief. All I remember were some (then) wild claims about what we could expect from Pogacar in 2024. This was when the wounds of the 2023 Tour were still fresh in the minds of Pogacar fans. I didn't believe Mou's predictions until it more or less happened. Is Mou an insider? Who cares I don't.

I think Mou is only despised because he is aligned with the best rider in the world and has made some predictions that embarrassed Vingo. I don't mention Remco because it only seems to be some of Remco's fans inflated expectations of their hero who dislike Mou. Remco himself said straight up before the 2024 TdF that he wasn't going to challenge Pogacar.

I despised him because he was obnoxious, arrogant, a bully, and offensive.

What are you talking about? Whatever which way you're trying to go with this, mou was the first one to say it and Bruyneel later ''confirmed' it on his podcast by saying the same things.

Mou was the source and the insight/scoop was correct. I assume Bruyneel also may have checked behind the scenes with someone, before actually talking about it on his podcast.

When the guy ahead of you in the human centipede starts bad-mouthing you. Can't be a good feeling.

I think he has just realised that saying more and more unhinged controversial takes gets him more replies than him just pretending that he knows what is going to happen in a race.
