NICE JAI FINISHES FIRST!
IS IT TOO LATE TO CHANGE MY PICK TO IN THE TOUR? I mean Tadi looks tired, Jumbo's strategy is amateurish, and that friendly bloke from down under...
... is a proven savage.
But, here's NOT the question:
Why do people, me included, overlook Jai Hindley?
He gets no respect...
... and he uses it to his advantage.
All the time.
Over and over.
To massive success.
I remember watching the Giro, and the commentators are like...
Yeah, and Jai Hindley is riding well.
... meanwhile, he wins the darn thing.
And even then, journalists be like...
... Oh, he got a little lucky.
How many times do we have to witness this?
Which is also the wrong question.
The right question is...
... How does he do it?
How does he get underestimated time and time and time and time and time again, like today at the Tour?
I think I know.
He just looks like a super nice kid,
who is humble and friendly,
just happy to be there.
Let's be honest.
I'll be honest.
Everybody, especially me, loves to find a reason to hate on our competitors,
Or build them up into Goliaths.
It's just a lot easier to marshal all our energy and focus to defeat, or be prepared for, an unlikeable, braggadocios, cocky, sunuvagun....
... and hard to best a kind, harmless Jai.
