So you shouldn't be too concerned about Jonas' "gifting" the Vuelta. If he'd opened the doors to all out team competition Roglic would have beaten both of them. When Roglic settled the pace down; the issue became settled. Don't lose sleep over what didn't happen among professional riders.
I am not. I just prefer competition in sports.
Also i am not convinced Roglic would come out on top. By the time it became an all Visma affair, Jonas had found his groove. Honestly i dont care either way. I also seem to disagree with Roglic fans on how events transpired (with visma and Kuss). But im not too invested in all that. I made clear my stance and see no need to discuss it further. As the stance of Roglic his fans seem directly opposed. They wont budge and i saw nothing that compels me to budge either. Aside that i find it somewhat funny i agree with Roglic that one should race for it whilst his fans seem to argue Roglic chose not to race for it.
I like cycling and i watch cycling. As such i naturally form opinions on pro cycling. But outside the riders i root for im not that invested in those opinions. I will tell you my opinion on the matter but at the end of the day i also dont actually care. For example i have a local football team i somewhat follow and i like that team to do well. When i watch a football match between other teams i dont really care about the outcome. But that does not stop me from forming opinions on their playstyle,... I just hope for a fun, entertaining and competitive match.
When remco was sprinting vs Skjelmose i was on the edge of my seat. When van aert sprinted vs Pogacar i was on the edge of my seat. When pogacar sprinted vs pidcock i was calm as a cucumber simply observing. I wanted a van aert win in roubaix and i like Remco. He is just a rider that draws me in. Meanwhile Pogacar and Pidcock can be replaced with other riders of the peloton and i would not feel any different. They are replaceable actors. I watched and enjoyed the san remo show but i also did not actually care who ended up winning. Thats is not to say i would not have preferred a Pidcock win. As i find Pogacar dominance uninteresting. I also ultimately do not care. If that makes sense. I was mildly dissapointed we got the predictable result again for a whole full second or so. But i also did not care if you what i mean. Whereas i would have been bummed out for at least 10 minutes if Remco had lost the sprint.
The misunderstanding about me truly caring about certain topics probably comes cause im no good at immediately dropping a topic. And i get more invested in the actual discussion and arguing my points than that i actually care about the topic at hand. I tend to continue arguing a topic for too long when i do not feel i have been proven wrong. That probably says negative things about me, but there you have it. At least i am not so bad as someone i know who routinely takes a stance that person does not even believe but simple does it to argue and at times make people boil for the heck of it. Getting a kick out of playing devil advocate.
