Sam Bennett - no same day spoilers

ya, surprised that you haven’t come out with the usual nonsense like begrudgingry etc like ye all do when ye can't rebut the facts or accept uncomfortable truths - still time yet . You and your pals sure as hell can not rely on facts and results to rebut what I said

self hating ? No, far from it in fact . I’d wager good money ye couldn’t string a statement in Irish either .

I’m Just someone who can see this case and where it’s going objectively and based on what I actually know of both men and he facts, can accept PLF has legitimate grounds to call him out. The manner of how he did it is another issue though.

Pointing out that this will hurt his career because he won’t have the team to compete with Quick Step is not being anti Irish or self hating . Pointing out that he’s not better than other sprinters is not self hating either . Neither is pointing out the undisputed fact that Quick Step saved his career

Ye are clearly refused to be objective based on his nationality.It’s the same with the excessive fawning over Dan Martin in other threads . That’s fine, what is not fine however is to invent facts

well at least you now admit that you are looking at it from Green tinted glasses. Just, you aren’t man enough or honest enough to admit that

You are in denial

He wouldn’t have had the success that he did in 2020 if he stayed at Bora. He would have been stuck riding Tour of Turkey and if fit , the Vuelta , and even then, as we say, Bora’s guy got the better of him, leaving Sam to mistake the stage as a game at Stemple Stadium

And unless Sagan’s team was willing to chip in, Sam would never have won a points jersey at the grand tour. He had a shot in 2018 and failed, whereas their German Golden boy won the points jersey the following year

Odd that you seem to find it strange when your hero actually spelt it out how important PLF was to him …

Lol . best you actually see the correct definition under Irish and Belgian law, chief .

PLF would succeed on the defence of honest opinion , not to mention Bennett having to actually prove that his reputation was damaged

af the time of uttering what he said, which by the way, he didn’t flat out say that he is faking it, Bennett failed to communicate the extent of his injury and failed to turn up for the pre tour of Belgium meeting. It’s not uncommon for out of contract riders to refuse to ride the rest of the season and claim to be injured eg Carapaz last months at Movistar

Sam’s behaviour and lack of respect to the team , when giving contradictory claims on updates on his injury, going against team protocol by going to an outside doctor (sports teams hate this) and giving different accounts in why he didn’t make it to Belgium… won’t endear him to other teams

so, that’s why Bennett would be wise not to even think about going down that route. He’d probably lose (if PLF fought it ) on failure to prove that PLF damaged his reputation, or even that his reputation was damaged at all . PLF got a fair bit of blow back

best thing Bennett can do is let his ridding at Grand Tours do that talking, which, after a knee injury that serious, and him being closer to 32 years of age (sprinters decline quicker as they age compared to other type of riders) that would leave any doubts as to his mentality in the bin .

Lol. Settle down fan boy, you certainly don’t have an argument that you can stand on .

You will only go running off to the mods ,(you can even name out the ones who will) like the others, when ya get caught out and don’t like what you hear but can’t say diddly squat .

Save yourself the hassle of being told “I told you so” this time next year.

To answer your laughable argument /rant/ poor school yard attempt at ridicule :

1. I have no qualms with Bennett at all. I even made it very very very clear that I hope I would be wrong . (2nd August) He’s just not as good as ye think. You and the boys clearly got your feelings hurt that you can’t accept reality . fine , but don’t go on I’ll informed rants when the facts don’t support you
2. There’s nothing in Bennett’s ability to believe that he will buck the trend for Quick Step riders , not now with knee issues and a less than stellar lead out train .
3. It is obvious that if Sam wasn’t Irish, ye wouldn’t be so defensive . Ye wouldn’t even talk about him. One utter moron used the anti Irish crap . Surprised he didn’t use the other idiot guide to arguing by using the auld begrudery card. You came close to that though.
4. When Sam was doing the Junior Tour of Ireland? , I was busy over in France helping what continental riders in negotiating contracts with Quick Step and Francaise des Jeux, so sadly, I missed out on cheering Bennett on. I’d be surprised if you even know what year he ride the Junior tour actually (nothing came from the contracts sadly, but it was an eye opening experience)

Blood bag ? Long lost child ? Why are you bringing up Cavendish ? (truly pathetic and contemptible) Armstrong wtf ?

Jesus , you truly are triggered . Again, what you know about pro cycling , you could write on the back of a stamp . Can’t and won’t address what was said so talk utter tripe .

Merrion Hotel ? Actually I did get an invite ! I didn’t go because I’m avoiding all crowds until it Is safe .

Only ones not being able to “let it go” is you .

Let what go? People who make statements but lack the cop on to use words that they do not understand is fair game ! It has nothing to do with Bennett (re Deise 08 7th August claim about defamation ) Not my problem you lot can’t string an opinion that’s not based on lies and misinformation and incapable of a proper response

Only people taking issue with a different point of view is ye lot . Not me. My only issue with ye lot is the inability of ye to actually get your facts in order and the Blatant attempt to Distort and flat out lie as to what I said .

stop crying lads . It’s embarrassing . Truth doesn’t care for your feelings . negativity lol ! What age are ya ? You sound like his crush from school days

thanks for the laugh though .
