I feel like the final move on the board is an SEC and BIG10 agreement in which they pay the football and maybe basketball players and crown a champion outside the NCAA framework (basically they leave NCAA for football). This creates an NFL lite that would sell. Players can transfer end of season no restrictions once in their career so small budget schools can get guys that can’t crack the huddle at a Texas or Ohio State after a year or two.
The only time I ever got annoyed by the POS system was at DKR stadium in north end zone bar. The girl selected the 25%. I selected 0% and signed as "fuck u" on the bill. Preselecting something and trying to scam people is a little shady.
This circuit is brutal. I rode it a few years ago in the morning before the Tour rolls through. The road has a crown on it so it is a tricky uphill that you can't really tell on TV. Good on Tadej to try and take it.
Yea I didn't expect it either. For Jonas to pick up that much time when Tadej had a great ride is wild. He was flying through the opening corners so I applaud the tenacity to go for it.
Question will be if JV can crack TP on a long climb as he is the more pure climber. Plenty of those left and it only takes one HC to do it. Otherwise I think TP takes it on the time trial.
Perfect profile for either MVDP or Wout as they are neither pure climbers or sprinters. I just don't get trying to make the move late. I get that smaller teams won't work with them if they get in the early stuff and just let the deck reshuffle.
Not any cussing but my god the amount of dark humor and gallows humor directed at patients, situations, families. I had to cut back. At some point you feel the humanity leaving you.
Jesus I had no idea that was a thing. I did it as two days of two climbs. The hardest part is the mental part with the road signs that give you % gradient over the next kilometer. So if you see 10% and the first part of the kilometer is easy, then you know you will get rocked later.
If you are a fan of SAFA Brian he is previewing the tour stages the day before. Good stuff.
