What is “toe curling”?

…and although I know almost nothing about Zwarte Piet it sure seems like a character that will have a hard time surviving for the next decades (note! That’s a probabilistic assessment, not a subjective one). Unlike Van Aert who is being more popular by each race. Has he ever had a better lead up to the Cyclocross World Championships than this time?

I think toe curling is when you are six feet under...

 

[stonerider]

Wout is kicking tail this CX season...just like last year! He's the man!

What is “toe curling”?

It's what happens when I read things while slightly sleep deprived...

 

[fmk_RoI]

I wonder if that really happened or is just a myth who was made to survive.

Vieto's did, the other fellah's didn't.

 

[fmk_RoI]

I was thinking more... "Setting the stone in motion with your toes".

You'd break your foot doing that, not just a toe!

Maybe that's how toe curling started.

• Flora! Flora! Y'll nae guess what Hector's gone and doon! He's gone and kicked a curling stone w' his foot and he's broken fer toes! And they all turned black and fell off!
• Have y' tried shoving the fallen off toes down the ice, Rory? It could be a whole new sport. Toe curling,

Climate change? World hunger increase?

No. It's that there woke nonsense that REALLY grinds our Wout's gears. It has, and I quote 'Gone too far.'

We've already moved on from that and are now discussing the mechanics of toe curling

Sorry I'm way behind, the discussion about Belgian cultural icons and blackface was last week and on the other page.

His cross form means he will win every classics race he enters, as well as the green jersey in the Tour.

Shocking discovery when i was playing around with chatGPT: Wout is a double winner of the RVV!

[RedheadDane]

I... think its knowledge cuts off in 2021 BC.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I think one of the most amazing things about Wout is that the dude races all out year round. I guess the shortness of cyclocross races helps, but mentally and in terms of cns gotta be extremely taxing.

 

[Valv.Piti]

At least two monuments this year. He will finally get what he deserves and what hes capable of

Why did they program ChatGPT to give answers like a politician? When you don’t know the answer, the answer is “I don’t know.”

Gazelle season over

 

[Lequack]

He gave MVDP a run for his money

 

[Jagartrott]

We can only conclude that he really, really likes silver.

 

[Lequack]

From the first meter, the Dutchman seriously put our compatriot under serious pressure. “I totally abandoned the first half hour to keep his wheel. That made me doomed to stay in the wheel like a cowardly rider for the rest of the race.”

Van Aert toont zich groots in verlies: "Was gedoemd om als laffe renner in het wiel te blijven" | sporza

Wout van Aert werd op het WK in Hoogerheide tot twee keer toe verrast door Mathieu van der Poel. In de beginfase door een razendsnelle start, in de laatste rechte lijn door een ultiem sprintmanoeuvre. "Ik heb in de eerste ronden serieus afgezien om het wiel van Mathieu te houden én in de sprint...

I don't think you or Translate understand what that says. They're complementing him.

Yes it was a weird translation unfortunately. Or maybe he was just critical of himself.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

he basically just said he was hanging on for dear life in the first 30 mins and after that was pretty much resigned to stick with mathieu because he knew attacking would lead to nothing.

MvdP evidently has WvA, it's also a mental thing.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

MvdP evidently has WvA, it's also a mental thing.

He's just a better cross rider than him, IMO. Not so much a mental thing though - beaten him plenty of times over the years in both disciplines.

 

[Red Rick]

You can just not have a great day on the day. But I agree MvdP is easily more suited to CX than WvA.
