I wasn't aware he helped to start it, so maybe he feels bad about it now? He is a true contrarian and I kinda like that. So much of cycling media are all too naive and conformist imo.
Almeida seem like quite the nice guy from all I can see. Also Yates, who seems calm and collected ,said that they were ready to launch but "one guy" wasn't in position, meaning Ayuso obviously. Everyone saw what happened that day.
Broe could say something like, Ayuso did good pulls on Galibier - the drama was overrated. But he actually makes a much stronger statement than that - he's looking back at the stage, and behold the public perception is completely wrong - they pulled the same amount.
Such a strange false narrative or misperception created by Broe. He likes to "fudge the numbers" sometimes, but mostly to support a narrative that is kinda true, but is not gaining public attention. However, this one is just so strange and obviously false. He also says Ayuso should go to the Tour which is also probably not what he objectively believes. Like, would Visma select him right now, injured and all? Odd.
It's funny how I never thought about the word "contrarian" to describe him as I am a compulsive contrarian myself, to the point I will rebel even against my own thoughts. (On this forum I am different as I am a noob)
Broe was off talking about Ayuso yesterday, that was obvious, but I couldn't tell in what way. I'm all animalistic intuition so I can tell when someone is off but not necessarily know why. Yesterday he was off combined with almost sensational eyes when talking about having rewatched that tdf stage.
You beat him at his own game by using stop watch on their turns! ⏲️
Either feeling guilty or having a fear of being exposed himself? I can't tell, but I don't get a feeling of strong integrity with him. It might be as easy as someone noticing similar things like I, and confronting him on it, leaving him in a defensive position. I don't know.
Like I said I don't expect strong integrity from him considering where he's at and also considering how he has deleted old pods etc.

Broe today on the podcast about Carapaz 2018: "I didn't watch cycling then".
No wonder all the self deprecating humour and persona trying to look cool; guy gotta suffer from severe imposter syndrome. I mean he is a DS after having watched cycling intensely for only 5 years.
Tbh he comes off as having lower self confidence than deserved, but it's insane he is a DS. He's just like all the other nerds taking over every sector of society. 😂
Obviously he was off yesterday. I don't know whether he was aware that he was off or not but it was absolutely weird.
Tbh I think he simply doesn't have enough time for a podcast anymore. 😁
