Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

I'm going to drink quadruple strength Kool-Aid infused with extra tablespoons of maple syrup during my hard ride today.

I'll probably throw up, but I might just set a PR

I have a route I take through a forested area. Always winding and up and down, perfect for a psycho time trial. I'm going to take 800 calories an hour and set a PR in my 50s. But I definitely don't want to be the one doing laundry today.

Chris Horner, eat my chamois

3 minutes and an inferiority complex

It's a dejected looking Remco on the podium

 

[Extinction]

They are all children, including a generational talent like Evenepoel.

 

[Extinction]

What? Seriously?

Yep, the hipocrasy knows no limits.

 

[Froome]

At any rate, the Italian RAI commentators are pathetic. Beppe says Pog is such a good boy, who loves children, thus he must be clean! Vomitevole!🤮

Oh my good, here we go, the cult of personality. I already saw this in the past.

Don't forget the baking soda.

 

[Ripper]

Don't forget the baking soda.

Yes, yes, yes! Thanks for the reminder! I'll add a quarter cup of baking soda. What could possibly go wrong?

Dutch ES were making up stories how Pog tried so hard to gift that one Giro stage to Pellizari.

You know, the stage where he caught him and dropped him like a brick.

He gifted him a jersey. Better than nothing 👀

 

[Froome]

He is confident, he will not get caught, otherwise is pure arrogance in his way of riding.

He could wait for the last climb to attack and win the race by 20/30 s, and he could do the same a lot times this year, but he always did this, attack from far and beat everybody by minutes.

If he attacked in the last climb and wins the race by just 20/30 s, he would get less difficult questions, and it would be more "normal".

He literally could've just followed the wheels. He went out of his way to beat Pellizari, given he won 6 stages, he lacked a bit of class that day.

RAI has been [[content deleted]]. One could think that he rides on an Italian state sponsored team...
I can no longer watch races on Italian TV, they defend, whitewash and praise him whenever they can.

Part of the Giro deal. It's not all $$

 

[MartinGT]

I had this on whilst I did a couple of hours on the turbo.

I just find it laughable how Brian Smith nonchalantly talks about him with the same breath as he does with ex dopers. Mercx and Armstrong and doesn't seem to put 2+2 together. He just ignores that Armstrong was smashed to the gills but here is someone who makes him look clean

 

[ashhutch1997]

I find it funny when these new cycling fans online absolutely belittle people who rightfully ask questions about his performances with comments such as; "WHERES YOUR PROOTH, YOUR JUST JELOUS, HATER"
FFS just Google his team director Mauro Gianetti, there's your answer.

And I'll admit, I defended Armstrong until the death, but this is so obvious is unreal.

 

[MortiroloForever]

One of the most succesfull season in cycling history, beating climbing records day in day out, winning races with historical solo breakaways as it was usual... and everything with Gianetti and Matxin behind close doors.

I wrote a message during last Tour about Matxin: this is his "modus operandi" and he is not going to stop. This time they are not in a random team like Saunier Duval, they are under the protection of a massive sponsor which is investing a lot of money to be the best and that's what are they doing, just being men o a mission.

I have to recognize that I don't watch a race where Pogaçar is involved since mid Tour de France. It is so obvious what is going to happen that I don't want to get frustated. I have been cycling fan since I was a kid and I never had the felling of being wasting my time watching a WWF show.

P.D.: I do believe in electronic or motor doping, just take the example of Foliforov in the Giro 2016 ITT.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Meloni planning any special military operations in Slovenia or something?

Nah, probably just in Istria and Dalmatia.

 

[Nick2413]

The style and lopsidedness of his wins make it hard to believe he doesn’t have a free pass. It’s hard to imagine he would be so obvious otherwise. But then again nothing would be a surprise.

But let's just be happy we were alive to witness it.

 

[Nick2413]

The one positive takeaway from this year is he made sprint stages the most exciting races in cycling.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Hopefully no motor doping involved...then it would be motorsport and Marquez & co are way better than him.

 

[Froome]

He has done it again.

 

[SHAD0W93]

He has done it again.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three hundredth….

Foliforov is a perfect example of motordoping!

Its for sure been going on for 15 years at this point

Here is my post thats nearly 3 years old with prime video examples.

Of course motor doping is in use, it was even in use back in 2010 with cancellara and breschel, breschel who was fuming after flanders since he got the wrong spare bike, the same race where cancellara litteraly motored away from boonen (go figure). Also Sky was notorius for motor usage, just watch Poels here motoring away up the Angliru lol.

Also 2013, especially with Froome up ventoux with the leaked watt files, its clear as day he is using a motor, you can also see it from the spectators view its so stupid.

Foliforovs famous tt in the giro, also ebike.

Roglic had motor in the bike at Strade Bianche a few years back as the infrared spectator cam found out.

Now many top teams have it, you have to adapt or die out, as such sky/ineos dominance is more or less over as other teams have leveled the playing field.

Lets face it UCI has no interest in catching any of these guys, as with the useless ipad scam app. Spectators should set up ir cams during mountain stages on the roadside, i would guarante the bikes would glow. You would have to be emotionaly invested to belive otherwise.

 

[Rackham]

Do any Pog fans actually think he's clean? I'm referring to the main forums here and the rest of the internet. Because I don't mind if someone just enjoys the show and has a laugh about the absurdity of the performances. fair enough, c'est un 'entertainment', after all. But if there's actually people out there who think this guy is riding around cleanz because he cares for his health or something and only other riders dope... oh boy.
