Tour De France: Unchained aka that netflix thingy

[RedheadDane]

I don't have Netflix, so I can't really watch it myself, but I have a question, and yes; it's about Pinot.
Does he actually go out and just... throw a whole bag of croissants into a lake?
Why?
According to the tweet I saw, it was to feed fish.
But... why?
Is there any explanation?

You can subscribe to Netflix.

You can subscribe to Netflix.

Yes, I know, but it seems a bit much to subscribe to Netflix for one documentary.
Especially since it seems I at one point will have to pay the significantly higher price for MAX compared to what I'm currently paying for Discovery+...

Damn after watching season two I didn't realize that O'Connor was the face of cycling. Maybe it's because of that silly haircut. Gotta get those youngins watching.

Have you heard about pirates?

I am trying to pirate the information from one of you!
Early signs of having lost his grasp on reality?

 

[carolina]

Yes, he throws a bag full of croissants and bread into a lake. Probably the croissants and bread are a few days old.

Hiding evidence.

LA used cans.

 

[MLKarlos]

Is it just me or does the atmosphere in the Visma bus feel like the worst by far? It is so tense!
Wonder if it is actually fun to ride for them

Either a fishing lake or a lake he's using to grow out something like trout.
Such lakes are usually overstocked.
Basically it's an unnatural ecosystem because mankind introduced to many fish. So, the lake itself doesn't have enough or won't attract enough insects or small amphibia and water plants don't have time to sufficiently grow. So....if you don't introduce an outside food source the fish will die of malnutrition.
Why is it overstocked?
Well, could be two reasons. If it's a fishing lake it's because most people nowadays lack the skill or patience to fish properly, so they do it on small overstocked ponds.
If it's a grow-out lake, it's to make money. To fish out the fish and sell on for a profit.

I pay for one month, and during that month I watch stuff I saw commercials for during the rest of the year.
Currently catching up on some crime documentaries and basketball series.

Those fishes swam directly to atlantic ocean to hunt for sea turtles

If you subscribe, you still won't know the answer to this question

So, he literally just goes out and throws some croissants into a lake like it's a completely normal thing to do?
"This is normal. No need to explain."

He throws them in, says something along the lines of "people will find this shocking" and then returns to talking cycling.

He could've thrown in a lot worse

Yeah, I guess raw beef would have been really worrisome.
But a great way to deter trespassers.

Tbh, if there's stuff like trout in the lake that beef is being eaten.

Bah, does half the crap Pinot ever does really have a reasonably explanation. At times a fun rider to watch. Very human. But fairly dang weird

Also, Philipsen comes off as a real d!ckhead. FTG.

Nice to see him get his a$$ handed to him to day, as well.

O'Connor was battling with Philipsen for the biggest jerk, but O'Connor gets some redemption in a later stage.

 

[dennisdy]

After watching season two twice (I know, but I'm retired!), I made a ranking of the likeability of the riders. It's based on their depiction in the series. Please note: I left my own feelings out of it.

10 - anyone who’s French, (Ala Phillipe, Pinot) also Jai Hindley

9 - Tadej, Kasper Asgreen

8.9 - Jonas, Mark Cavendish

8.5 - Fabio Jacobsen, Wout van Aert

4.5 - Ben O’Connor, petulant in the early episodes (partial redemption in later stages)

4 - Tom Pidcock (doesn't give a rip about his coaches or teammates)

.25 - Jasper Phillipsen (.25 only because he has a cute, white, doggie)

What? It costs the same...

129 DKK a month for both.

 

[RedheadDane]

119 + 40 = 159.

 

[tobydawq]

119 + 40 = 159.

Hmm. I only pay 89 for the standard subscription (and then + 40 for the sports package (which I have to say is really cheap). But I can see that the price should be 119 as you say. Odd.

Nevertheless, it's still not that much in my eyes but I also have Viaplay and I guess everything is a drop in the ocean compared to that...

True. He actually ended up being pretty endearing to me.
