[QUOTE=Pistons;2589344]There are certain things one does not write about unless you don't fear to lose your job. Thus only certain type of individuals write about it. This is a side of what we refer to as self censorship.[/QUOTE]Then you are part of this fascist system that you keep mentioning and you are helping to keep people oppressed. Just a little scared mouse.
[QUOTE]If I was 52 kgs as I was told by a so bad doctor who must have bought his graduation,[/QUOTE]Autism spectrum makes it difficult to recognize sarcasm especially when spoken whilst in normal human interaction. Alternatively, I suspect bitter French grapes after watching a superior human having a good time laughing and smiling with women and friends while starring like a creeper with arms folded for 10 hours in Sharks.

[QUOTE=PaulInZurich;2589542]Wout van Aert - 78 kg.
Kenny Elissonde - 52 kg.
Wout van Aert dropped Kenny Elissonde on the Ventoux.
You are not Kenny Elissonde.
What matters is not weight, but power per weight. Sagan would drop you in 30 seconds max.[/QUOTE]I saw him last Friday and a great man he is not. Is only 55 but looks as old as my 72 year old mother, about the same size too but more grey. Spent the entirety of the day alone with arms folded carrying a scowl on the face. Twice other mongers walked by and made small talk with him. They were more cordial than me but did not shy from mocking him when we met later. One actually performed a dead on impression of him boasting of his womanizing skills.

W V Art who is a exceptional racer, as long we don t discover new dopping, was never 78 kgs in Mont Ventoux, when I will give my best, wish on next week, to be faster in steepest part of Loze with more than 20%, than Sagan was in grupetto, only climbing to compete for green suit, or he would not have climbed, when I will, for free, for my pleasure for my holidays. If I was only 52 kgs, I should be faster. 70 kgs is considered as the limit to be fast climber, ask professionals. What they take help them, when I m a bio, topless climber with no engine hidden in bicycle, only putting and keeping heart on the edge of red zone for hours, turning legs fast enough to avoid lactic acid, breathing deeply and passion and adrenaline. Feeling free and flying.
[QUOTE=DrPoon;2589491]These articles need to mention the victims smoking history and / or if they have diabetes or not. The random deaths mean nothing unless a smoking history and immune system status is mentioned.[/QUOTE]That's the point of recommending the vaccine to all of a certain age as you will never be 100% sure whether you have an underlying medical condition that would put you at risk in case of an infection. Simply saying 'I'm feeling well' doesn't give you reassurance you will be fine as many conditions may not give you clear symptoms until it is too late.
[QUOTE=Sirioja;2589758] W V Art who is a exceptional racer, as long we don t discover new dopping, was never 78 kgs in Mont Ventoux, [/QUOTE]Whatever his exact weight, he is significantly heavier than Kenny Elissonde. Try to be a human being and accept logic, power to weight ratio is the deciding factor.
78 kg.

[QUOTE=PaulInZurich;2589798]Whatever his exact weight, he is significantly heavier than Kenny Elissonde. Try to be a human being and accept logic, power to weight ratio is the deciding factor.[/QUOTE]I 100% agree with You Van Art is much better than French Elissonde I didn't even know before this tour de France, when I m not so interested by now robots under dopping, piloted by ear, with technology hidden in bicycle, and I don t say both are dopped, as long they are not caught. I also 100% agree Sagan would be faster than me on Champs Elysees, but when even not being 52 kgs but I can lose 3 water liters when being quite light, meaning more than 3 kilos on a climbing day, professionals also lose a lot, when not written in your data, but real sport and I will be so proud, now I know the profile, to climb in Loze top faster than him on tour de France 2020 , when I didn't turn legs yet on bicycle since end of October, with so bad 2021 year, and when will be for my only fifth climbing day, meaning fifth day on bicycle since 9 months, in my 50's, but I m confident for this, when I felt on last year discovery. And just for pleasure for my holidays for me. But I like so much to feel powerful and look forward starting.
If anyone actually believe that take the vaccine and the pandemic, lock down, mask will be over, I got some really nice ocean side real estate in Arizona selling for penny on a dollar.
This is a forever pandemic.
Anyone mature adult who is still stupid enough of believing that "the vaccines work," might as well also believe in Santa Claus or sea view property in Lichtenstein!

[QUOTE=Tuber19;2589878]Ohhhh bad news, I bought my ticket few days ago and visiting Sharks hopefully on 17 August, so I hope cases stay down. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase no more close.[/QUOTE]I wish you have a nice trip and I hope all goes well, but I've been warning about this for many months.
Yes, FKK clubs 'opened' in theory (with a bad line up, many tripods, and massive upselling) but soon the government will shut it all down again.
Just like in pre-school: you had you're 15 minutes of play time, now it's time to get locked up inside your houses again!
[QUOTE=Arnold15;2590126]Germany continues to harass and kill its own business sector.
Though almost 100 % of the risk groups have got the vaccine![/QUOTE]Indeed, it has nothing to do with public health or any rational way of thinking. If the 'vaccines' worked, then why the masks and the distancing required for vaxxed people? If the 'vaccines' work, then why can vaxxed people still spread the virus? If 'vaccines' worked, then why are 95% of Israeli ICU wards vaxxed people? (see my post in the "Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!" thread).
It just doesn't add up, but the goal is clear: pure unadulterated fascism and the countries with the darkest past in Europe are leading the way;.
Italy ('inventor' of fascism by Mussolini).
Germany (do I need to explain Germany's history? / sarc).
France (Napoleon and Vichy France).
Spain (Franco dictatorship).

[QUOTE=Sirioja;2589937]I 100% agree with You Van Art is much better than French Elissonde [/QUOTE]At least you almost seem to agree with reality that weight is not the only thing that matters. Otherwise we could just weigh the riders at the start of a mountain stage and declare the winner based on weight, job done.
You still have the delusion that you can outclimb Sagan. Do you think you can outclimb Van Aert, he should be significantly heaver than you.
