Bronze is not very blingy?

 

Edit: It's supposed to be Green and Gold, not Green and Bronze.

 

Fixed...

Someone had his triple espresso this morning.

I hope I’m not alone in thinking the Pro Women’s race in #Bergen2017 was the most exciting of the whole week. Perfect way to showcase ????

 

Cav, on Tweetiebird

If Sagan was riding for SKY and won 3 world championships, would it THEN be ok to ask?

Are you wanting to compare how a 3 week GT plays out to a one day race? [emoji6]

 

If he was racing for Sky he would've been too kaput after pulling Froome around France/ spain to go for WC... ask Kwiatkowski.

 

Some of those Sky riders (1) were so tired they had to get a tow from the car to make it to the end[emoji6]

No, thats not what I am asking, and you know it.

 

I am asking if we would ask questions of his performances if he was riding for them?

Probably. Some would do so overtly. Some inwardly.

 

I, sadly, hear myself whispering "I hope you don't get bust!" whenever there's a great performance irrespective of team. Interestingly I don't say to myself "I hope you aren't doping!" Maybe I'm just jaded?

Don't think any asks the question of Kwaitoski and he rides for Sky..he is incredibly strong and had it not been for possible fatigue. .one race too many that he could've easily had stood on the top step on Sunday. .I wouldn't have asked the question .. but also I made the decision to stop being a sceptic and enjoy the sport what may or may not come out years from now will make me angry then not now.. else I may as well stop watching the sport.

Stop deflecting, I am not asking about Kwaitoski, he hasn't won 3 world champs in a row.

 

Just to be clear. I am NOT questioning Sagan or SKY, I am questioning the selective sceptics amongst US Hubbers and Twitts. This is based on an observation that rider popularity seems to have direct relation to scepticism. Edit: I myself am a massive Sagan fan, just for transparency.

 

My question is very straight forward.

 

If Sagan was riding for SKY, would you question his performances MORE than you do now? Its a yes no answer.

You say it's a straight forward question..but it isn't actually. .

 

Ifs and buts. .2 very different teams with 2 very different objectives during the year.. so if Sagan was riding for SKY would he even be able to contest WC after a long year focusing on getting their GC guy on the top step of the podium..so one could say if Sagan was riding for SKY he quite possibly wouldn't have any WC wins?

 

None of the Sky guys end up doing well at WC (Kwaitoski won WC riding while still at QS)

 

So it's not a straight forward question actually cause you don't know what his results would've been riding for Sky...

 

The actual fact that the Sky riders don't do well at WC is perhaps a reason why people shouldn't be asking the questions of them..all the time...mmm I think I just said something nice about Sky.

The question is not "would he have won it if he was riding for SKY?",no one can answer that for sure", the question is "Would YOU be more sceptical of his performance if he rode for SKY". Its hypothetical.

 

So yes its straight forward, if you want to answers it.
