Remco vs Roglic

[gregrowlerson]

Then how about a @Netserk vs @tobydawq thread?

That's only a June level battle.

For July level it would be @Netserk vs. @Logic-is-your-friend

 

[Netserk]

Sounds good, I figured “he” but had been up the last 16 hrs and played it safe with “they”. Especially considering all shift at work we have to use “they”, so it becomes a habit. I didn’t mean any ill intent by it.

I don’t remember those at all besides one maybe. Didn’t you have an album cover at one time or was that someone else?

I know you had no ill intent. I made it my signature in my first year and probably kept it like that for a handful of years: "Cancellara is like The Black Album. Really good but way overrated."

I think my Rujano avatar might have been the one I had for longest before Boonen. Or Ray Fiske.

Oh yes that avatar!!

And of course I remember your signature and The Hitch taking it to use after you got rid of it.

 

[Netserk]

Sure, I’ll take that bet. You’re saying top 5 in Dauphine, and I’m saying out of top 5. With the idea that he finishes the race.

@Berniece what is my avatar until the Tour?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Damn De Plus and Vlasov, it was quite close in the end!!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic finishing 2.25 ahead this round but if you look at their faces after the stage he looks like like the one who's had his ass kicked, Evenepoel was stood there laughing with Landa. Another hilarious race, both riders half-tragic half-brilliant in their own ways.

Until you find it, I'll sport the one I'd have you wear.

It had me so confused until I realised it was actually moving

 

[hfer07]

time to shut down this thread for good?

 

[Tonton]

After this bike race, I wonder if age is finally catching up with Primoz, and as far as Remco is concerned, GT-wise, I'm afraid that he's The New Geraint. Sorry...

 

[Lefebre]

This guy is already in decline, lucky for him that Remco was training only and the other boys were to afraid to attack sooner, in Le Tour the France he wil be out of podium.

Current one is fine, I don't care. I would've preferred that you had the ability to change my avatar.

While Plateau des Saix was a stinker, Glières was good under the circumstances, no?

 

[Berniece]

Under circumstances yes, but less than 3 weeks until the start of the TDF. There's only so much you can do. He can start the Tour undercooked, but I'm not sure he'll be able to turn it around in the Tour.

Rog is ahead after CdD but they're both way off. We need both to improve drastically so we can have all out hysteria at the tour. Now which is better: the Rog thread or the Remco thread? They're both hilarious and I suspect most people in both threads are serious, which makes it even funnier.

I think it's best to understand those threads as temples. The preachers and fanatics will seem natural once you've taken this stance.

Remco outsprinting Roglic; what is going on?

Remco outsprinting Roglic; what is going on?

not the first time...

 

[gregrowlerson]

not the first time...

Nor the last.

Remco outsprinting Roglic; what is going on?

What is going on? I'm going to break it to you gently Greg, the tour de france is underway. It's a race around France (mostly) that sometimes briefly visits other inferior countries to throw them a few scraps. Shockingly, they've already completed 4 stages. Roglic is hoping for some extreme weather and some route changes so that they have to scrap the mountain stages and they put in a few unipertos.
Remco is looking slim, Roglic is looking skeletal. So Roglic is winning the battle of the bulge (belge?). Apart from that, I'm told it's early days and Roglic will be fighting for the win in week 3.

 

[Bolder]

Remco can sprint now. Maybe not uphill but certainly on the flat if he winds it up he's fast.

Not uphill?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Remco is better. Close the thread now

 

[Lequack]

Quickly, while he's still better

Quickly, while he's still better

Immediately !
