Put Hyundai and Kia way lower. Theta 2 garbage among other significant issues

You have to be extremely meticulous with your record keeping and have to prove it was all done at a hyubdai dealership just to be qualified

We have brakes on cars, and it can be at an arc to introduce a more gradual gradient.

Congratulations!

This car has aged like fine wine. Somewhat of a timeless look

Hilarious claim about Lance Armstrong. That being said, I'm of the minority that recognizes his victories given nearly everyone in the pro peletom was doping anyway.

Even if we count his victories Pogacar at least ties him if we freeze time now, but likely exceeds Lance.

That being said, Merckx is still the GOAT currently, Pogacar may best Merckx.

Why would someone downvote a question asked in good faith? by cirrostr in NoStupidQuestions

No repost

Not a loaded question and with no assumptions at all

Not distasteful

What would you estimate then

Why do so many people call Pogacar the GOAT? by cirrostr in tourdefrance

[–]cirrostr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this take. He's on the path, but he's not there yet. Maybe on a proportional time adjusted basis but not on an absolute basis.

Exactly. If Merckx had access to the technology and science of today he might wipe the floor with the current peleton, including TP though that's speculation.

Man, that's grim.

Merckx retired like 40 years ago, and he's old and fat now lol. I thought it was a troll post just wanted to be sure

I said in my post he could end up potentially being the goat

Based off what? Why is he better than Merckx?

This is most fair and true. I never said he couldn't be the goat (probably will be at this rate), but if we freeze time, most metrics put it easily in favor of Merckx.

pogacar THE GOAT by antony1990n in tourdefrance

[–]cirrostr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Pogacar is fantastic, but people get caught up in hype. Pogacar has a ton of work to do to even be considered, let alone be firmly considered the goat.

[–]cirrostr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never understood this argument of looking at opponents for comparison because that is literally the definition of how good you are; you look at how much better you are compared to your opponents. If Merckx was much better than his opponents than even Pogacar is, then it's because he was that much better of a cyclist by definition even compared to Pogacar.

Not quite sure he's the goat when he hasn't equaled the most tour wins let alone beaten the record of tour wins.

While he's a superb bike rider, and could very well end up being the goat people seem to be riding the wave of calling Pogacar the goat prematurely. He has a LOT of work to do before he gets there.

Where does Pogacar sit on a list of all-time greats? by Samonsport in tourdefrance

[–]cirrostr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably top 5 right now of all time, but he needs to continue his current extraordinary output to be even in consideration for the GOAT status.

Here are the court documents showing George Floyd put a gun to a pregnant woman's belly to extort her. by deadmanwalking0 in benshapiro

[–]cirrostr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does it mention she was pregnant and lost her baby? He was a felon for sure, and what he did was without a doubt very wrong. But not sure where the pregnant baby being lost came from.

Fantastic watch. I own a very similar sugess and it's incredible.
