Benson says Luke Rowe is going to Decathlon as a DS.

What the hell is going on at Ineos?

I had him down as going to Eurosport but that's definitely a better option

He can do both.

Well the already have six people with the job description of sports director, plus plenty of others with different/more senior titles who essentially more or less the same Job.

Then they'll get great company!

Bit unfair to dislike a guy because he might be related to some other guy you don't like.

I hope this doesn't extend to Tina Weirather, she was my favourite Alpine skier for most of her active career. At least the 30% or so of it that she was healthy for.

You want me to dislike people who might be related to some random Alpine skier?

The opposite, but it was aimed at Toby.

Then I would like to request not getting shot!

Dont think that is how getting shot works.

Seems rather rude to aim at Toby, but shoot me!

I don't know where you've got the idea that I could be tempted to shoot people from...

She wasn't selected randomly.

And as Samu says, precisely the opposite. I don't want people to dislike her.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

I'm very confused, what does the skier have to do with anything?

Edit: After a not-so-quick Wikipedia read I'm now up to speed.

Edit 2: I now have the very niche knowledge of knowing the history of Liechtensteins first medal at the Olympics, can't wait to never use that information again.

Sounds reasonable to me.

 

[tobydawq]

And as Samu says, precisely the opposite. I don't want people to dislike her.

But what did she have to do with anything? Just because she starts with 'We' as does Wenzel? Otherwise, it seems like an exceedingly random example...

 

[RedheadDane]

Not to me... and I'm the one getting shot.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

It's all in the wiki...

 

[tobydawq]

Makes perfect sense to assume we would all know of the ancestry of a random skier.

That's just what LS does; brings up random skiers, expecting everyone to know - or even care - who they are.

I'm quite sure you also have been presented with a very long post about Weirather's career and family history, but you probably wouldn't have appreciated that either.

Seixas is a so big talent.
And second rider ( like Philipsen) who jump from junior team to WT - directly.

Rest guys from devo to WT.

I think that more and more young players will go straight to WT, whether it is beneficial for them - we will see.The next strong talents from 2007 are Ashlin Barry (will probably go to EF), and Jan Jackowiak (in the junior team - Bahrain).

Sixth at least, from memory:

Remco
Quinn Simmons
Uijtdebroeks
Luis-Joe Lührs
Philipsen
Seixas

Probably some more examples that I'm not remembering

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Will Seixas be the youngest ever on the World Tour? He is 11 days younger than Philipsen.
