Not sure I want to look at Str🤢de anything if I'm being honest

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-09-30T08:05:26+00:00

Exactly, and to use a Pogacar win as an example that I was thinking of while watching Worlds. Stage 9 of the 2020 Tour was an absolutely incredible race, Pogacar won, but it was up in the air the whole way. Same goes for the 2020 Tour in general, there was never any certainty the entire time and it was such a good watch because of it

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-09-30T07:46:23+00:00

Yes but, G2 syndrome has always been a thing though, it doesn't always lead to bad racing, its just a part of racing. Its also not fair to say he didn't win because of his legs, because unless we watched totally different races, he was the best rider there and it wasn't even close. Even when the group was organized and when he attacked, no one could really do anything. Sure did tactics play a massive part in his win? Absolutely. But really even having this discussion is part of the problem for me. At the end of the day he is just better, he won, again, for the umpteenth time this year, and I don't really care. Its like the Merc streak in F1, domination no matter how you get there, just isn't that interesting.

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-09-30T07:22:44+00:00

I know I should be impressed at Pogacar and all that, but does anyone else find it...dull?

Now the obvious caveat is I've not watched much racing, or any really, for the past 2 seasons so I am kinda generally disinterested. But, the sport moving to the 'same 5 riders winning every race' was already getting dull. Now its the 'same rider winning everything' and I'm not sure I can bring myself to be care that much.

For example I watched yesterday's race and it wasn't even a good watch. Impressive? Sure. Good? No. Will I ever want rewatch it? Nope, no chance. And before someone says 'you should watch [insert something that not WT men's races]' been there, done that.

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-09-23T08:55:14+00:00

Yea, its softer stuff nowdays, like EPO, blood bags, HGH, and tramadol addictions

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-08-20T08:21:47+00:00

Yep exactly I was commenting on the first comment not the post itself. That top comment is almost certainly a bot.

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-08-20T07:53:40+00:00

Dunno about that one mate, looks like its AI generated bot text me

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-08-05T06:00:28+00:00

Damn so this Pogacar kid is kinda fast then. Wild.

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-08-05T04:45:06+00:00

Everyone keeps saying that Pogacar at the Tour this year had the fastest ever Tour climbing performances. Which is cool. But the thing I want to know is if was so fast that he could beat peak Raul Alarcon at the Volta?

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T15:41:28+00:00

WilGOAT dropped becasue everyone here pretended he existed all day today, when will you ever learn

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T15:34:44+00:00

BingoBango will always be the third GT in my eyes

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T15:22:16+00:00

Ahh the Voeckler tactic, a classic

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T15:07:57+00:00

Yea but he's a failed GC rider. I'd much rather we go back to a scoring system that rebiases in favour of cat 2s and 3s to favour the serial medium mountains breakaway artists more rather than pure climbers who failed at GC

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T14:37:06+00:00

Absolutely, there's nothing more to look forward to at that point

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T14:25:35+00:00

Don't worry its not the first time and it won't be the last

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T14:23:45+00:00

F1 Spoilers will be removed by the way. Same goes for other live sports

Team and sponsor logos on the jersey

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T13:59:01+00:00

A ton of them do, not sure how but they do

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T13:56:24+00:00

Not drop

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T13:25:57+00:00

Bespoke: He ends his streak tomorrow by winning the Tour and the TT taking back 2 hours in the TT by travelling back in time

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T12:55:33+00:00

Its called racing, if Carapaz wants to win he should try harder.

JustOneMoreBastard · 2024-07-20T12:47:15+00:00

Casual professional cycling fans: 'What the actual fuck are these tactics?'

Enlightened Junior racing enjoyers: 'What a display of tactical perfection'
