So "Mou" was just paraphrasing Johan Bruyneel... How did you find the comment?
Click to expand...
Not quite. He sent a video of Primoz Roglic training on Teide volcano back in February that had very few views, there was only a couple of comments under it so I assumed one of them was him, probably the guy with the Balkan name.

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85-IYCQDsVI


I posted that video of Bruyneel talking about those numbers onto the Pogacar thread and later checked the comments on it. A short while later that popped up, same account as the one who was on the Roglic vid, same posting style as Mou.

Twitter account had him following 2 accounts when I came across it, Elon Musk and a Slovenian banned gran fondo rider and Pogacar associate, Igor Kopse. Had some lad from the Balkans take a look at the writing style. Same guy.

Some lads I'm in a discord in had stumbled upon the MSR comment accidently and figured out the pieces a few hours ago, they were going to post it on twitter but I've posted here without telling them, it only seemed right. I know some of you loved him most.

The only other person that knew was Uncle Cycling, who I'd mentioned it to in an unrelated conversation a short while ago. Here's something interesting for the Mou truthers though, the real conspiracy fans amongst us. Today his real account gained it's first follower - https://x.com/AndAgo70 - that's Andrea Agostini, COO of the UAE team.

I'll have to find a short chat I had on twitter with a Spanish chap, who knows who's Uncle Cycling. seems like a kind of obsessed fan with his "secret" news about this or that unimportant doping "big news". also, Uncle seems to be a Pog fan. he doesn't bash him or just a very little

here's Uncle before he went automatic English-translation

www.youtube.com

Ciclismo en 1 Minuto

Ciclismo en 1 Minuto es el canal de historias de doping y dopaje en deportes como fútbol, ciclismo, atletismo, natación etc
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

he's had a few different names, the spanish chap I talked with told me.

Yes there are a few channels he ran I think, not just cycling, similar format and clickbait style. He did tell me his job was always a youtuber but I think he has someone helping him with his English scripts, because even the modern translators aren't that lucid and he spoke in broken English.

I liked to think the Irish guy doing the English translations back in the early days was Digger/Karol, it always read exactly how I thought he would speak.

I don't think it's Karol, he doesn't care anymore now Sir Dave and Froome are gone. you can find some Digger/Karol videos of him wearing an Hulk mask.
it was the great Sky years, he was out of his mind and angry. now that Ineos sucks he and all the others disappeared (ahahah, the "antidopers" ffs...)

But yesterday he was asking Portuguese people if they're satisfied with Almeida's level, obviously (involving his "prophecy" that Almeida will progress like Pogacar).

P.s. Mou is wrong about many things. "UAE will win the TTT by one minute"
Click to expand...
I dont think he said he would progress like Pog.

I think he said that Almeida would be the most improved or something like that.

2nd in Valenciana is a good result in the first race of the season.

Bit early to make any conclusions.

He said that in 2025 Almeida will improve as much as Pogacar in 2023-34.
If we translate that to the relevant levels, that should mean clearly the 3rd best rider in the world. He clearly said Almeida will DESTROY Paris-Nice as well

And Mou himself was doing reference to his "predictions" after Almeida got the yellow jersey. Of course he changed the tone after yesterday saying "but the race doesn't suit Almeida".


Guy is just a fanboy fraud who throws thousands of claims and of course he is right like 10 times. When you try to be reasonable and ask questions regarding his "prophecies" he starts insulting.

But I assume they have different starting points, when speaking about the improvement.

I think you are interpreting the meaning wrong in that.

Then we will just have to see how the season goes.

Yes they do have different starting points and different ceiling obviously. But Almeida is ~top 10-15 rider in the world. So "He'll improve like Pogacar" surely means top 6 at least.
Otherwise it wouldn't be improvement or certainty not "Pogacar like".

Anyways, he said he'll be at his peak in Algarve ans Paris-Nice but if (when) Vingegaard beats him he'll change the tone something like "the race doesn't have big mountains so it suits Vingegaard".

Out of topic but the guy predicted 3 different teams for the Tour and non of them seems right at the moment. He also predicted UAE to win the TTT by a minute (showing how much he knows) but people always let him off on the wrong claims. If they just count how many wrong promises he makes, we wouldn't discuss him now.
