If he is lucky enough to come in his presence then yeah. Carlos came too close to the sun.

Hirschi’s joining Ineos. DB’s saying he’ll make a great mechanic.

I called it 2 months ago :)

"Sunweb identify and develop great riders who then want to get out of there ASAP"

How disappointing. He can sit behind Pidcock in the mountain train.

Ha ha. I’ve just realised that’s not legit. I’ll leave it up rather than hide from my shame.

Watching the Code Yellow documentary on YouTube, with its sub-titles referring to the Jumbo Fish Men. That's the best team name of all time.
Some of the sub-titles are more on point though.

Hirschi to UAE. Got some young talent in the Arabian Peninsula

They've got something, that's for sure.

.

I’ve never even clicked that Following tab and have no idea what it does :(

It shows you just the threads you’ve posted in. Useful but you’ll miss anything new.

Such a bizarre thing to fake in a non-parody way.

Bet the guy got a few profile views and maybe two new followers.

When you see Dumoulin and Roglic talking about Pogacar's time trial, not understanding how it is possible, of him being on 'another level', how he should win every stage with one leg, they must be aware of what they seem to be implying? Jumbo Visma must be aware of that. As must UAE.

Will, are you the new memelord?

Memes are for children - these are screenshots!

Still, the screenshot is pretty impressive.

I think they adjusted their choice of words to only imply and not shout 'he must have been on some juice' out loud.

Still, the implication is clear, which I think is unusual and I'm surprised it's not given rise to more comment.

Given the history of that team, I think they ought to be very careful what they insinuate.

But, does anyone trust a team run by Mauro Gianetti?

I read that as "Festive 500" and wondered wtf Saggerz was doing getting involved in that.

allegedly going from 30K CHF to 1 million CHF a year
