I don't think he gives 0 fucks. It makes perfect sense to use him now that Froom isn't wearing yellow!

 

Troubles with what he did yesterday at the end, apparently he already has a deal with Movistar for next season....I seriously doubt Sky is happy with what he did today, despite Knaven saying it was the plan (and rightly so, everything that screws up Froome's chances is a good thing in my book) :p

If there's ever a perfect chance for Matthews to win, it's tomorrow. Van Avermaet seems to be getting stronger as well, but outside of those two, everyone would be a surprise I think.

Louis Meintjes is not very much liked among cycling fans (not at all on the Dutch forum because all he ever does is hanging in the last wheels, without any hope for anything better), just saw this post from I think Cyclingnews forum (but I'm not sure) posted on the Dutch one, pretty much spot on :p

It's not really Meintjes' fault (or any similar rider), he is not the one calling the shots. DS do and they do according to the World Tour and its points distribution. As long a top 10 Tour finish will award as much points as TWO stages wins, it is not going to change anytime soon.

 

IMO, the World Tour is one of the major (if not the major) for the lack of spectacle these days in cycling.

 

PS: yes, that's from cyclingnews :yes

Yes, but other riders at least try to go on the attack. Maybe it's UAE's DS fault, but it turns Meintjes into a rider that won't be remembered at all, not even if he finishes ten times in the top-10. Just like Maxime Monfort who completely invisibly has gone to a boatload of top-20 finishes in grand tour GC's :p

Monfort always when I hear this name I remember of one of your funny guys interviewing athletes in your TV. Nelson :d

 

He is only funny when you're in front of the TV, not when you're interviewed by him :d

How funny to bring your recently passed away mother during an interview in live TV... (there are many many more...)

    • Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.  
    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
