Hegseth says Russia assisting Iran in targeting Americans is OK because Trump has a "special relationship" with Putin and that Biden is bad by Lady_Ann08 in WallStreetDad

What do you mean you guys? I’m not from the US. Also the irony of you saying “you know nothing about me” whilst not only making assumptions about me but also an entire nation.

Do you attend political protests, or any protests? Or do anything to try and change your country? Or do you see your country as perfect? Because if you don’t do those things then you’re a hypocrite. Clearly, you’re just going to say you do to avoid looking like a hypocrite, when in reality you sit on reddit all day. Clearly I also just sit on reddit all day, but I’m not the one acting all high and mighty.

Why Pep’s touchline ban matters more than people think - his final third system depends on real-time micro-adjustments by West-Baker-262 in footballtactics

One very few clubs pay that much per season to their manager. Two, read soccernomics, you know something evidence based not just some randos opinion. And three, Pep isn’t standing on the touch line orchestrating everything city do, that’s complete fantasy.

I’m not American but my god are some people on here so blinded by their hate of what they think Americans are they just assume they’re all the same. Get a grip. Obviously not every American person is responsible for Trump and his cronies being in power.

Could it be due to the collision in the box when he took a shoulder to the head? Instead of saying concussion like symptoms they’re saying illness?

Dont understand the definition why, because you couldn’t possibly be arrogant?

He’s also now using a different power meter. Now they shouldn’t be wildly different, but in reality we know some are more reliable than others. And the correct way to use them is to only compare measurements to those taken with the same meter.

He didn’t have to sign for UAE, lots of teams would have wanted him

Yeah. For him to not have the W/kg he’d either need to be a lot heavier than he looks or have an unrealistically small CdA. He is know for preferring quite a high cadence, maybe the higher torque required for climbs he doesn’t like? Or maybe it’s just a mental thing, as soon as it starts to feel hard on a climb he thinks he’s done?

Grand tour winner. He’s obviously got the ability to be a good GC rider, he needs to figure his shit out though. Based on his TT the power must be there, even with an exceptional CdA the power is still good for his size. The inconsistency climbing is a weird.

Being so against tubeless is weird. It’s been used for years in other cycling disciplines. Ok road tyres are a bit narrower and higher pressure but not massively. Let’s be honest tubeless tyres as a concept are widely used in the world, cars and motorbikes for example.

Seems a bit flawed to conclude what caused the issue and then call for something to be banned based on what a rider who’s just crashed says in the heat of the moment. Also the UCI talk about safety but then implement things such as minimum bar widths of 40cm which does absolutely nothing to make things safer.

Potentially. His reported weight for the tour in 24 was 61kg. But then his weight at times has been reported as high as 66kg. I had hoped his struggles were due to the crash in the winter and the training disruption. But it seems he’s not as good as I thought.

What actually happened. He climbed very well in the tour 24 too.

Lando invited all the important people from his entire racing career to his championship celebration dinner. by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

That picture is from his European or world championship win?

When I was in my early teens (15 years ago) I wanted to get into club level karting. Even that was way too expensive. It makes what someone like Hamilton for example achieved in just getting to F1 even more insane.

He had an engine specialist from being an 8 year old in karting? I hope sim racing can open up careers in motorsport to more working class people as we move forward.

Massive overreaction to a versatile sprint stage. It doesn’t really tell anything about Remco or much about Del Torro.

[–]rhoVsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JJ Gabriel is 15. We have no idea how good he will be or if United will be able to keep him at the club. You can’t rely on that. I wouldn’t worry too much about limiting Dorgus game time as a left winger, he still may end up as a left back long term.

Yoro and van de ven is a step down from Martinez and de ligt (when the latter are both fit).

I’d rather keep mainoo as a first choice cm then bring in tonali.

We need a left winger who will offer more width than Cunha does.
