My mom is more important than a training camp and if I have the financial means to travel, I would do it without hesitation or see how I can get her to travel to Europe to receive medical treatment. Egan, you post things for people to screw you over, right? – @hippiecosmico94
He goes from beast to where that man wants to go, the truth is I don’t know who he is, only that he rides a bike and is very good at racing. But I have had the opportunity to read it and what a beast, the brute has no person – @DilbarSanchez
Silver is silver? It seems to me that it should be your mother first, but I understand that many are obsessed with success and money – @Caanvic
For nothing in the world would I sacrifice the opportunity to see my mother, because after one loses her, nothing is ever the same again. First the mother above whatever. Money comes and goes and goals can wait. But a mother should never be a second choice. – @JuanCorozco11
That virus of uribism caught Egan and gave him three laps; money and goals will always be somewhere and as you say very well, a mother and a father are not second-rate dishes. @OUTRAGED
But remember that your MOM is more important, fame and money are material things, life is short, and let me tell you, it was better to sacrifice a bit of your sport than to visit your mother, that is important. That is my opinion, there, excuse me – @lanavedepapel
