State of the forum 2024

I wanted to enjoy my coffee and a small danish in the clinic thread and found out that it went totally soft lately. From agressive, sometimes horror like descriptions of doping programmes (of mostly slovenian riders in the past few years) to pacifistic philosophical contemplations about everyone is doping in Remco thread. What is going on?

Warmdown.

 

[Cassirer]

Clinic needs man-eating washing machines, stick-out hair fueled super raids and immense skeletor destructions to really get going - remco, till now, doesn't deliver such madness.

I would like to report high levels of drug use in the Coolest Names thread. Side effects include, but are not limited to, inventing an Austrian named Hans.

You won't fool anyone with these coverup reports.
Hans posts on your account.
You're practically clones!

How about that hypocrisy?

Don't do drugs in the afternoon.

Never tested positive.

Steven Kruijswijk would like to report a crime in the Coolest Names thread. Someone has just stolen the letter T from his name!

Jesus?

Evidently by this thread the monster peak for a few of us is over, personally for me since August my form hasn’t been there.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Maybe we should discuss a possible Velo d'Or (however you say it) of the forum? A heated debate about best (and worst) performances. "You know such and such had a great July, but really fell away in the fall", etc, etc.

I don't think we have a Remco, so could be interesting.

P.S. Incoming claim from a Dane of; "I don't even get out of bed for anything but a live race. I'm practically AVV."

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

There should be three categories
Rookie of the Year(To qualify, 2022 is your first full cycling season of being a forum member. Top candidates for this could include but aren’t limited to Ilmaestro, Noob, and myself)
The Worst of the Year( Your takes are so bad that you qualify for this, I can think of a few people for this one)
And the Velo d’Forum(The best poster of the year)

Not me, because I have a job, so I need to get out of bed.

And the Velo d’Forum(The best poster of the year)

I think it should be Forum d'Or.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Forum d'Or is likely to be Logic Is Your Friend for 2022 imo, although he may miss Lombardia, and I don't recall him being that prominent in July...

 

[topcat]

Forum d'Or nominations:
Logic for his portrayal of Remco
Koronin for the portrayal of Valverde
CyclistAbi for the method acting portrayal of Roglic (really bringing the role to life).
And the Oscar goes to ...
They all deserve an award.

No nomination for Liberty? Oh, we are talking about poster of the year not ever! . But I am also wondering why this is being discussed in the Clinic?

Same.

Liberty has already won this enough times.

I had to change my like to a laugh upon rereading the Cyclistabi bit. You've destroyed the peloton already!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Following topcat‘s threats of superpeaks, I‘ve put a superpeak in myself. I haven‘t tested positive though, so it‘s absolutely clear I‘m cleanz.

 

[sir fly]

The bunch here running the most sophisticated program.
Off the elite schedule - nowhere to be seen.

 

[hmpower]

Can remember when had old JV 1973, Landis and Lance Armstrong feuds and Digger posting. That was clearly all performance doped!
