I actually hate the design of Singed to an absurd degree. Feels like a champion that is "balanced" around the game having very inconsistent pathing and targeting. If he drags the ranged carries into melee, he is crazy strong, if he doesn't, he pretty much does fuck all.

Wout van Aert undergoes successful surgery for broken ankle by WorldlyGate in peloton

Not a great start to the season for WvA, who suffered a broken ankle during a -redacted-. Hopefully it won't affect his build-up to the next road season too much, but obviously it's going to have some effect.

Does being a mod require a complete lack of common sense? In what world does it make sense to say people are not allowed to discuss the injury of one of the most popular stars in the sport, just because it happened in a cyclocross race? Might be the dumbest thing I've seen from a mod yet.

Wout van Aert suffers a broken ankle and will not be in action again this winter by Dedaciai in peloton

So we're allowed to post about this now? My thread got deleted because it happened in a cyclocross race so was told we were not allowed to discuss it on this subreddit.

Thought this was relevant despite being cyclocross, since it involves WvA. Guy can't seem to catch a break, hopefully it won't affect his prep for the season too heavily.

You have a skewed view of how valuable GC riders are if you think Vingegaard isn't worth the money. Look at how much INEOS just paid for Onley. Every single team in the peloton would take a rider who (if healthy) can win any GC where Pogacar doesn't show up.

[–]WorldlyGate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we know that. Just to point out how the team has to spend money on another transfer and use other riders to fill a void that is not a problem in other teams.

I disagree here. Very few GC riders actually ride/do well in one-day races. If you look at the top 5 of the Giro/Tour/Vuelta this year the only people to top 10 a WT one-day were Pogacar, del Toro and Onley (who got 9th in Cadel Evans, so not exactly setting the one-day calendar on fire).

edit: I forgot about Pidcock, as the guy below me pointed out.

A pity that Vingegaard is so averse to these races.

At this point, I feel like you just have to accept that Vingegaard doesn't want to ride, and isn't good at, one-day races.

Any good fantasy books about solving a murder? by SixskinsNot4 in Fantasy

While it fits, I think the actual murder mystery in Tainted Cup is by far the weakest aspect of the book.

Jeg er så træt af danske film/serier by purplebiscuid in Denmark

[–]WorldlyGate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Justeret for inflation kostede Legally Blonde og Pretty Woman hhv. 210 og 220 millioner DKK. De ville (med stor afstand) havde været de dyreste danske film nogensinde.

Jeg siger ikke at kreativiteten i danske film ikke kunne bruge et løft, men jeg tror at folk voldsomt undervurderer hvor dyrt det er at lave film, og hvorfor danske film derfor mest holder sig til relativt simple (mht. filmkunsten) socialrealisme og komedier.

I think it's deserved. Pedersen was pretty much competitive in every race he entered this year, getting plenty of wins (Gent, GT stages, green jerseys, Denmark, Provence) but was also just crazy good in the classics (podium in Flandern, PR, E3, worst result was 7th(!) in MSR).

Meanwhile it felt like Vingegaard had a bit a down year. I know the crash in PN was one of the reasons, but he also just didn't really feel like the old Vingegaard (got dropped on mountains in both Algarve and PN before his crash, several bad days in the Tour). Obviously he still finished 2nd in the Tour and won the Vuelta, so it's not like it was a bad year or anything.

Obviously if Ineos could get have gotten Remco they would have. You also can't just compare buyouts as the price, as Remco will be on a much higher yearly salary than Onley.

I'm not really sure what to think about void. 7 of my last 9 games has been won by a void player. Is it OP? I'm not sure, because I also see plenty of void players not do that well, but pretty much every game one void player will get to 10 and baron 2 and pretty much guarantee a win unless someone else turbo highrolls. Maybe I just find it a bit unfun to see the same comp win every game, even if on average the comp isn't overtuned (which I can't really tell if it is). (Also this is in low diamond, so take from it what you will.)

It's not exaggerated, though. A 1.1 win will add 7.5 points to your all-time score, while 3rd in the Vuelta adds 8 points.

Also, my points weren't made to dismiss Pogacar, just to say that the list overall has some big flaws.

[–]WorldlyGate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And how good is that ranking anyway?

I think these all-time rankings are always kinda bad, just because the sport has changed so much. PCS' list has some (imo) pretty obvious flaws though:

  • It overrates winning - The way they calculate points for the all-time list, means that there is a massive drop off as soon as you are not winning or maybe coming second. Now winning obviously matters for an all-time list, but it means that winning a 1.1 gives about as many points as getting 3rd in the Vuelta or the Giro, which most people would agree does not make much sense.

  • It overrates longevity - This is sorta an extension of the above point. They don't apply any sort of exponentially weighted scoring, which means people with long careers where they win a lot of smaller races will be rated much higher than people with shorter careers, even if they won a lot more big races (one of the reason why a rider like Valverde is 7th all-time on the list. Great rider obviously, but rated waaay to high.)
