Apr 8, 2022
by Sarah Moore  


Two of Trek Factory Racing's heavy hitters are feeling unwell and will be missing the Short Track today due to an undetermined illness. Both Jolanda Neff and Anton Cooper have shared on Instagram that they are testing negative for Covid and hope to recover in time for Sunday's XCO.


bigquotesUnfortunately after yesterday‘s training I started coughing and feeling unwell. I’m testing negative for covid. I will miss the short track tonight and try to recover in time for Sunday‘s xco world cup race.—Jolanda Neff



bigquotesUnfortunately I won't be taking to the start line of the Short Track race this evening as during the night I've become unwell. Currently testing Covid negative so hopefully it will be gone shortly but for now the best course of action is to rest up in hope of being fine for Sunday. Time to put the frustration aside, be patient and see how things progress.—Anton Cooper

 When did we get to the point that people think covid is the only thing that makes us cough and feel unwell? The common cold has always been fairly...common.

 I think the common cold got covid and died, I haven't had a common cold since 2019

 You can still compete with common cold. Shit is the vax period. These idiots probably boosted. Why would any one healthy take a clot shot? Very ignorant sheep people out there.

 Unfortunately a large percentage of people seem to circle jerk to CNN and the MSM (including Faux News) and have thus turned into a herd of brainwashed sheep. What's more unfortunate is there seems to be an overwhelming majority of them on pinkbike.

We are all too busy fighting eachother to realize our real enemy is the political elite. Which is EXACTLY what they want.

 The common cold is for people who ride aluminium bikes. Us carbon riders get the extraordinary cold. It can only be cured with private health.

 @Rider656: Yeah, you and I both know it. These people's whole identity and worldview is now wrapped up in what they need to believe to feel "safety" and belonging. 108 FIFA players dropped dead on the spot after being vaxxed. It's just too scary to not be afraid anymore....and it's all their own fault.

 Much like the flu shot, which you should get every year, the efficacy of the vaccine fades over time. Think of your body like a bike. You can tune it up, but after constant use it will require tuning up again.
  • 4 1
 @KalkhoffKiller: you are supposed to wait 3-5 days for testing, but people often come in way too soon so you can get a false negative. He'll, I had covid and tested negative 3 times.

 @nvranka: This is a biking website, I am trying to put it into biking terms. A bearing can operate without grease... for a time. You can also do physical exercise without stretching and warms ups too. Eventually it will catch up with you. All I am trying to put out there is that if we are going to treat COVID as endemic (which it seems we are) we should also try reason with the benefits and pitfalls of vaccins.

I am not a scientist but the evidence suggests that vaccines wane over time.

Treat yo bike to a tune up. Don't blame vaccines for the duration of covid. Treat yo body to a tune up (government availability and rhetorical may apply).

 @OnTheRivet: The majority of anti-vax are conservatives who don't want to be told what to do until they need something and then make a huge ruckus out of it. They'll say something like I'm not getting vaxxed but I still want to use modern medicine! STFU is the only response to that

When my dad got covid our surgeon buddy suggested a few things, all were basic and fully understood like MCL.

It’s hard to ignore the rushed nature of this vaccine. I still got it as I don’t really care and didn’t want the hassle of not having it in this environment.

 @Jmtbauckland:
Remember when Pedo Joe said something along the lines of "you cannot catch covid if you've recieved the vaccine," and that the vaccines are safe and effective?
Well, that didn't age very well considering neither are true.

When the alleged leader of the "free world" is pushing this crap, and his regime is rolling out federal vaccine MANDATES.. I'd say that is 100% relative.

But hey, maybe you're happy with your government dictating what goes into your body. Get in line for your bi-annual booster. To each their own I suppose.

 @Themissinglink83:
So let me get this straight. Your argument is to go get the jab so it can "protect" you for 6 days before the virus mutates and you turn into a covid zombie from the next variant anyways? Then repeat the cycle? The pharmaceutical industry thanks you for being a loyal customer.
  • 2 2
 @mtnbikermaniac: the covid vaccines have a date of serious complications in the range of 1:10,000 to 1:6 million. Blood clots with covid is 1:4, endocarditis is 1:10. Just fyi, I'm taking care of a patient tonight who is 4 months post covid and requires 30L oxygen . Don't expect me to be impressed with your uninformed right wing bullshit.

 @Themissinglink83: your argument is false. Before omni was delta and the jab didn't protect you from that as well. You can review uk publishing gov and see that vax people had more cases, death and hospitalized then unvax. Only time it was effective was for the few weeks before it mutated. Why are you pro Vax when the data is coming out on how bad this is?
