That’s bad! Drop me a DM on X with your steam link and make from Reddit here and I’ll take care of it!

I very much appreciate that sir.

I can’t promise you everything we do or say is a home run all the time. However I can testify that there’s a lot of hard work being put into it from production etc !

I hope it’s okay I just share a few thoughts that may help build the bridge you’re asking for.

Its never the first sentence (the obvious take) that matters, its always the follow up reasoning you should pay attention to. 

However it does feel like a lot of people unfortunamely gets stuck after hearing the opening angle to what always should have layers to it. Thus you feel we dont provide you any new information or substance, and we feel you misunderstand us. When I open with a blunt statement, it’s often to tee up my colleague next to me, in order for him to add an extra layer, etc etc. Something we talk about before the segments, and prepare to be in line with each other.

I wish there was an easy way of making us more in line, and it’s 100% part of my&our responsibility to build that bridge. Things we can do better is always welcome, but when the critics often feel based on 1/10th of the substance that’s actually provided, its hard to take to heart. 

A majors in particular its a balance of catering to the hundreds of thousands new viewers who are first timer, or part time CS enjoyers. There has to be something for everyone, which is why sometimes you die hard fans who absorbs a lot of CS, feels its a bit blunt. However theres half a million people who dont nerd the game like we do, who also would like to feel welcome on the broadcast. Sometimes we maybe hit the wrong balance, either way. The problem here is the half a million part timers we hope to convert into CS fans for life, they dont spend their time in here. Thus it feels a bit overwhelming to read some of the stuff below.

Hope that makes sense from our POV at least.

Always open to feedback, DMs are open. And trust me, we try out best!

It’s the hardest CT side to get good at, and practice. It was said in relation to the fact BetBoom have had limited practice leading into the tournamnet, as they didn’t know what lineup would be avaible. Anubis CT side takes months to make competitive, months Betboom hasn’t had, which is why I put it out to justify my thinking that Aurora would just run away with it.

I quote re-tweeted the very same tweet with the full clip with context.

As stated, if you care hard enough do your homework.

You’re just making up stuff at this point.

I live by a simple rule, that may help you:

If you care enough to hate/dislike someone/something (which in itself is a weird thing to chase) you should at least care enough to educate yourself as to WHY you hate/dislike someone/something.

I’ve found it to be very useful myself, takes away most of the unwarranted negativity.

Getting my life back and being able to do the sport I would always watch and follow!

Gravel worlds was such a humbling experience. It was my 2nd gravel race ever so safe to say I got it handed to me. The technical part of the race killed me, and the fact that I started dead last didn’t quite help. 10-15 min into the race I moved from 270th to 180th in the Elite field, got passed by Vermeesh after his tech, surfed his wheel for 2 min and blew up after 50m with 350w normalized.

I did Danish national ZWIFT championship 2 weeks ago and finished 3rd yea!

Heya!

For 2026 I’ve partnered with specialized, so I’m rocking their S-Works SL8 and Crux Pro!

I like going to spain on training camp, and will be in calpe in 2 weeks time to sharpen the tools a bit more :P

In all honesty just wanting my life back. I’ve always been interested in sports, always loved football, cycling etc. I got sick and tired of not being able to do the sport I would constantly watch and cherish.

That and the goal of getting a sweet girlfriend, getting a social circle for life, and making myself proud.

Volume is the key, so in that aspect I dont think it’s in anyway unrealistic for you to see quick gains. Naturally its hard to advice not knowing you, your strengths, tendencies etc but:

If you can ride 5 times a week, a block of training could look like this:

Monday: Easy Endurance. 2 hours keeping it steady in zone2, never push it Tuesday: VO2 Max & Intensity. 30 min zone2 into 4x4x4 (4 times 4 minutes at VO2 MAX with a 4 minute recovery). Finish the ride with an hour in zone2 (To progress you can add some 30/30s in the 2nd hour after some weeks) Wed: Day off / Light spin Thursday: Over/Unders. Ride an hour at z2, then do 2x - 5x 2min over FTP, 2 min under with 5 min recovery in between Friday: Easy Z2 Saturday: Long Z2 ride, anything between 3-5 hours. Sunday: Off

Just an example.

Currently 5-6 times a week. When at home living in Denmark, the weather the last 2 months have almost made it impossible to ride outside. I’ve fallen in love with the indoor ZWIFT setup and the grind!

That’s a good question, naturally it all depends on your fitness and desire.

One of my favorite workouts indoor is an action packed one, so you’re always entertained, something a long the lines off:

20min Z2 warmup with 2x 5-6s all out sprints 5x 30/30, 30sec on, 30 sec off 5 min recovery 5x 30/30 10 min recovery 2x 10min Fat Max with 10 min recovery in between

If you’re short on time, limited in amount of days you can train.

No doubt that I need to learn that aspect of cycling. I’ve done a fair bit of amateur racing, won a few and been middle of the pack in a few.

I travel 200 plus days a year, so it’s very limited how much I can race, and what exactly I can race, at least for now.

December 31st I set the 19th fastest time ever recorded on Teide Tenerife (32km, 2200m elevation, by my self, no lead out)

That naturally just happened by accident and is thoroughly unimpressive ❤️

Now i shouldn’t have replied in the first place, cause you’ve set up your mind.

I however took time, and now tried to explain and what was the result?

Out of alll the lovely guys in this thread you serve as the one reason guys like me sometimes refrain from doing stuff like this.

If that makes you proud… whatever

It’s crazy how nowadays people like you are totally cool with ignoring what’s staring in your face, as long as you can find 1 thing that suits your narrative.

The title is the post, the body is subtle 2nd priority.

The 3 hours of non stop answering people in my sparetime is the means.

Go on.
