And you realize how childlish and dishonest people get when main tactics of the 2nd best rider is apparently eliminating the leader from the race. Dishonest? Don't get me wrong, I prefer Kittel winning the green than Matthews, but every number 2 in any competition would be utterly stupid if they don't try to win the race in a way that's obviously within the rules It's like not Kittel had mechanical troubles and lost the time because of that, he's not good enough and it's perfectly fine, honest and smart to use that to your advantage. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Just because something's legal, that doesn't make it honest by defult. Reporter: "Matthews, how did you win the best sprinter title?" Matthews: "Because I'm better climber, obviously." #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not gonna eliminate him. Matthews is surely gonna get closer to Kittel, but he's most likely not gonna eliminate him. Second of all, pretty much all of Sagan's green jerseys weren't won by him being the best sprinter. Was he a fake champion as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,587 Posted July 18, 2017 #386 Share Posted July 18, 2017 BTW, I hate myself for writing this, but yes! Bouhanni is back in the pack! (I don't like him, but I have him on my team, which gives me quite an advantage, as no. 1 has both Groenewegen and Kittel, while I now only have Wyss in the 2nd group) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with him having certain rules for himself, but seriously, forcing everyone to not eat certain things because you believe something?)

heywoodu 13,540 Posted July 18, 2017 Author #389 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Is Janse van Rensburg still there? By far the best lead-out in this Tour so far, EBH could definitely win it if JvR is there.
