When you like him as a rider when he breaks into the scene with his first TdF win, you tend to continue to support him. Even when he loses to Vingo twice and stays competitive through the whole season, you tend to like him even more for it. Then when he dominates, that connection stays. And you drink the tears of the vanquished.
I imagine you drink those tears from the skulls of your slain enemies as well?
What mystifies me is when Man City supporters living in Northampton act as though they have some sort of superior knowledge or understanding by virtue of having decided to pick that team rather than one that they might have a more natural disposition towards.
These kind of posts are just about the best way to poison discussion in a forum.
No, gold helmet is in first 20 riders of peloton
You have a point actually. I stay corrected.
I've expected something like this to happen for the last five races, literally anything to flip the switch and wait for the inivitable, as they got nothing to lose and not only him but all main protagonist. At this point, I dont expect it anymore.
Up until 2023 this pretty much summed up my view on Pog. At the 2020 Tdf he was basically alone against the arrogant and overpowering Jumbo-Visma machine, had agressive and proactive racing style and as such was very easy to like. Although never a true fan, I generally liked him as rider during the following seasons too.
