Cycling history (using memes)
Imagine: stage 1 of the 97 TdF, Bjarne gets caught up behind a pileup and the team can't get orders from the team radio. And in the heat of the moment the team decides to stay with Jan and drop Bjarne.
"That night, I told Rudy we need to have a meeting," Walter Godefroot said, "(...) I asked Heppner why he hadn't waited, asked all of them, while knowing the answer: they have more faith in Jan and they like Jan more. Riders will always do more for a guy they like. After fifteen minutes everyone suddenly falls silent and it's the end of the meeting. Then they all leave, I turn to Rudy and I say that was it for Bjarne: I knew he wouldn't win a second Tour. His time was up."
