ngl i'm seeing so many odd takes regarding grischa, like... he's always been there, sure, but do you realise you're talking about a professional who's paid to do his job and not an extension of the guy you like?

kinda weird the way some are shitting on him now after treating him as if he were the best guy on earth and glorifying him for doing his job well when he's just a professional and he's absolutely entitled to go look for something else just like we all do in the field of employment

just a rant but it's mind-blowing the way he went from being the best guy ever (weird) to being shat upon (weird)

I always thought you probably are the best person to ask:

Why have quite some people (here) stopped supporting Jonas? Has there been a beef developed between Wout and him, or something like that, that people previously supported him felt betrayed? Or merely the racing style he operates on? I thought Tumblr is a lot less hateful place but I do catch some people are consumed by hate here as well…

I personally have a soft spot on someone who nerves bullies but keeps holding head high and thrive. And for the sake of diversity in racing style, if one wins a pure display of power, the others should seek to beat him/her through knowing one’s own limitations and building strategy around it. Not every sport is WWF wrestling.

Can't speak for everyone, honestly.

I know some were put off by all that happened at last year's TdF, and admittedly I thoroughly disliked the way the whole Trine ordeal was dealt with and the fact that there was no declaration that could sound like a defence of the guys who gave everything for him, including Wout and especially Wout who was targeted more than others, and you could hear from his interviews with Belgian media that he was actually bothered by it all. So I think that played a role.

I do know others were put off by some statements regarding the protests during La Vuelta. I'll be real, I don't remember them anymore. I can only say I was wholly siding with the protests, and I remember people complaining in my asks that it was absolutely useless, and yet!!!

Then again, I don't really read much else because I don't care about it. 😭 Aside from what happened at last year's TdF that truly bothered me, I have no issues with him lol

For sure some people don't like the way he races, but I don't mind it all and honestly there are riders I absolutely despise for their political and ethical stances. He isn't among them, so you need to ask to others.

That being said, let's not pretend Jonas doesn't win on pure power either lol for sure strategically Visma is way better than others (UAE above all), but god bless look at his watts 😭 we're watching pure power battles, especially post 2024 where tactics when the two main names are riding play a smaller role

Only way to combat the haters is to love our guys even more!

So nice to see meep with a big genuine smile on his face.

And Woutje is so nice and **shapely** in the admittedly horrible new visma jersey. He looks so hug-able

Tbh it's not even pure hatred, it's like shading matje and you know, i'm whole for hating whoever you want to hate, just don't do it in the tags of the fans

Awful jersey, they're boiling woutje alive at the tdf 😔 he is always so huggableeeeeeeee!!! and matje smiling 🥰🥰🥰 that's pookieeee
