Those pictures of the team consoling Wiebes: I want to see the pictures of them giving her hell for throwing away what should have been the reward for their efforts.

If they know she didn't do it on purpose...

Next to her career in cycling Lorena Wiebes has been trying everything to get her brother back on track. He's a former coke addict who lived on the streets. So sorry if she doesn't correspond to your holy moral code, I don't think she gives a f.ck.

So, lots of her earnings goes to helping her brother?
That would explain why she'd be so eager to go to the highest paying team.

I don't think any rider gives a f.ck about what we fans blab on here, otherwise Froome would have had a constant meltdown from 2013 to 2019.
I also think Libertine talks about what Wiebes does in this sport, not outside of it

When it comes to SDW, Kopecky and Wiebes can do nothing right in LS' world, while Vollering is a saint who can do nothing wrong.

Did I ever say she should? No. Besides, Mark Cavendish was an absolute star for Jonny Bellis, doesn't stop him having been an absolute tool with most other people early in his career. A sportsman's career is short and she has every right to maximise her earnings, but I reserve the right to dislike when she uses bad faith dealings and tramples all over others to do so.

talking about detractors, for example I really hoped Bauernfeind could win today. she was signed with the Canyon Generation team in 2022, a team they started after they signed Dygert and got an avalanche of bad reactions
