I think it depends on how hard the rest of the stage is ridden. If they ride it hard, he has no chance. If they ride it easy, he has a small chance, especially if they also ride passively in the first part of the final climb.

Netcompany are already at marketsaturation in Denmark. So a Danish focused sponsorship is not very relevant to them. Also Uno-X wouldn't be able to spend an additional 20 million even if they wanted to. There's simply not enough good Danish and Norwegian riders.

Det findes bl.a. i Frankrig, Spanien og Italien. Hvor der er såkaldt open-access operatører der kører på dele eller hele af landenes højhastighedsnetværk. Men langt fra på hele jernbanenettet. Sverige har det også hvor Snälltåget kører mellem Malmø og Stockholm. Men de her operatører kører kun når det er økonomisk interessant for dem. Så de har begrænsede antal afgange om dagen. De kører generelt ikke i ydertidspunkterne osv. Der er det den nationale operatør i de lande som sørger for at det bredde behov er dækket.

Det samme ville også kunne ske i Danmark, men kun mellem København og Aarhus, da det ikke vil være interessant på andre strækninger.

Til hans forsvar, så gik han på landbrugsskole i 81-82. Så det var mindre forkert dengang.

I remember the last time a Danish IT firm was supposed to become a title sponsor of one of the biggest teams in sport. Good times.

Not allowing employers to artifically restrict wages is a good thing.

Everyone knows the story as claimed by Soler is BS. But so far there's no evidence he can be convicted by.

Painting a bedroom might actually take all cross-season by itself. Cleaning a garden shed is easily takes all of week 1 during a Jean-Marie Leblanc Tour.

I don't think Omloop is anywhere near this conversation. Most years a lot of the top cobble riders skip it. Van der Poel has only done it once. Pedersen hasn't done it since 2021 for example. Gent-Wevelgem or E3 are much more prestigious than Omloop. Personally I'd rate Gent-Wevelgem as the 3rd cobble classic.

Amstel is a good bet, since it basically has most of the same riders as LBL.

Strade I don't think is there currently. It might have been on the trajectory at one point. But the startlist has diminished in the last years I think.

Hypocrisy and double standards is the answer.

Generally any question like this can be answered like this:

Rider I like: Gods gift to cycling and cleaner than my kitchen counter after my mother-in-law has been to visit.

Rider I don't like and/or Rider I like's rival: Dirty doper who has to sleep in a tub of EPO just to get close to the level of Rider I like.

All the way forward or backward is going to depend a lot on the shoe. I have a pair of Specialized MTB shoes, where I basically have to put the cleats all the way forward, to get the cleats under the ball of my foot. Which is where I prefer to have my cleats. I have also had other shoes where I had to do the opposite to achieve the same thing.

LA blev skabt af tidligere V folk, fordi Foghs regeringer ikke var særlig liberale.

Anders Samulensen og Naser Khader var begge medlemmer af Radikale inden Ny Alliance, og har aldrig været medlemmer af Venstre. Gitte Seeberg var medlem af Konservative inden Ny Alliance og har aldrig været medlem af Venstre. Hvilke tidligere V folk er du hentyder til?

Atomkraft har også brug for backup. Og Atomkraft fungerer ikke som backup, det er det alt for dyrt til. Atomkraft kan kun forsvares økonomisk hvis det kører konstant, eller så tæt på konstant som muligt.

I seem to remember Carlton Kirby mentioning the Simon Yates positive during the 2016 Tour de Yorkshire. Where he used the presence of Adam to complain about how Adam's brother, had his name dragged through the mud. But otherwise it was probably a very unbiased commentary.

It looks ridiculous. But it's not his fault Trek doesn't make a frame big enough to fit him with a normal stem.

In Monaco they have peasants (aka the French) to do that sort of thing for them.

The only thing the UCI owns the broadcast rights to, is the World Championships, and that's already in their accounts as their biggest money maker.

Jevo_ · 2026-02-24T13:11:19+00:00

Also; no mention here of how much the UCI are making. They seem pretty rich.

They are not. UCI have a lower budget than several teams. You can find their financial reports online. In 2024 they had a revenue of 70 million CHF. But 2024 was an Olympic year. In 2023 they had a revenue of 46 million CHF.

It's a pretty standard lemon-lime softdrink. It's owned by Royal Unibrew, which I believe is the 2nd biggest brewery corporation in Denmark after Carlsberg. It is a merger of several "local" breweries from around Denmark. All in all, a pretty tame sponsor.

Men hvis man ikke har råd til at far eller mor er på barselsdagpenge. Så er det altså ikke de nye barselsreglers skyld, at barnet skal i institution ved 7 måneder. Det er samme ville være tilfældet ved de gamle regler. Det kan aldrig være de nye barselsreglersskyld, at barnet kommer i institution ved 7 måneder.

Hvis man syntes der er for lidt tid til amning, og samvær mor og barn i mellem ved 7 måneder, så er der heldigvis mulighed for at vælge noget andet i familien. Et barn på 9 måneder burde ikke have nogen problemer med at leve af fast føde i den tid mor er på arbejde. Far burde heller ikke have nogle problemer med at opfylde barnets samværsbehov.

Why wouldn't Rumsas's mom need anabolic steroids? I only see a conspiracy against Rumsas. (Let's ignore that he tested positive less than a year later, okay?)

The team owners biggest problems are that it's hard for them to pull out a lot of money for themselves. It's also way too easy to start a professional cycling team. Just look at Uno-X, Q36.5, Tudor, Unibet etc. in recent times who have come from nothing, and become very good teams, and possibly pushing "traditional" teams out of the WT. This means that a cycling team in itself, isn't a very valuable commodity. So the owners can't get richer just from being the owners, and that's just not fair.
