i've noticed it's something the big anglo nations (US/UK) love to do: they create a problem thinking it would not impact them personally, then it does, then they go and complain about other nations

meanwhile the EU just enforcing something you the UK wanted. massive skill issue, i'm afraid

lmao during one of my games on bf6 we had a guy in our squad make a lame deez nuts joke on comms and everyone (including me) was so caught offguard everyone started laughing

one guy had to go sit in a corner for a bit and laugh it out, he couldn't aim proper anymore

i just had a revelation

imagine if jasper had stayed at UAE, they'd be winning pure and classic group sprints as well. ๐Ÿ˜ญsure, he wouldn't have had mathieu and the belgian chat GPT riders as leadout so his wins would be slightly lower but he'd still be a top 3 sprinter just like now

if an european politician did what she's doing now, attacking dissatisfied voters who just want some accountability for her abject failure during the campaign, they'd be exiled from politics from their own party

but no, in the US it's the voters fault, apparently. rich people can't ever be wrong

i think it's very on par for the US that in a moment where the country is crumbling into a dystopic shithole, the failed aspiring democratic president harris is going on a book tour to get even richer while providing some vague slayyy lip service instead of actually helping the opposition to fascism

this was always going to happen with two riders of two opposing french teams in the final. they'd rather see each other lose than work even an inch and it possibly ending up in a W for the other guy

anyway paris tours was pure ciclismo drama. 10/10

like obv this isn't anyones "fault" pog can't help it he's that much better than everyone else in almost every category but god damn, the future entertainment wise is so bleak. the other high tier riders are just going to plan their agenda around pog (except TDF) and pray he doesn't do 'their' race

pogacar not winning lombardia but it being quin simmons is like as close to a monkey paw moment we'll ever gonna get in cycling i think. cruel but also kinda funny

i am very confused at the female dutch nationals gravel (or commonly known as "worlds gravel"), nothing about that finale made sense

very entertaining though

no i think you're misunderstanding me. they _tried_ everything they had in their tank but at maximum of their own ability it just looked like pog was on a training ride

it might have looked like they were 'just pacing' constantly but they weren't

i don't think that would matter much. whatever gains you got, he will make it up

11.10.2025 12:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

they already explained that they did try to make it difficult: they went full power (for them) and it just looked like pog was on a training ride so when they had nothing left in the tank they had to stop for a while

those are your options when pogacar starts. the only counter to this are other aliens: mathieu during the onedays and vingegaard during GT's/stageraces. (and remco in ITT but doesn't really apply here)

that's it. that's modern cycling when he starts.

- if you isolate tadej from his teammates, he will just go on a long solo&win
- if you attack tadej he will counter you and win with a solo
- if you 'help' his team control the break, he'll win with a 30-40km solo
- if you don't help his team control the break, he'll win with a slightly longer solo

i know it's easy to just dumpster on teams for "helping" pog/uae but like. belgium at euro's did a complete different strat (isolate pog from slo teammates) and they got mocked for it as well

at a certain point people just gotta realize that no 'strat' will help against pog if he's just that better
