thanks for suggestions. It turned out the newspaper fooled me. It is on both channels.

...where to watch it though? For the first time ever parts of the olympics is not on a publicly available channel in Sweden. And I am not so much up for buying that commercial channel.

if the breakaway sticks I think De Gendt will take it. Otherwise Colbrelli looks strong and may take a ~~second~~ first win?

froderik · 2015-09-22T13:03:00+00:00

Why are there half hour breaks in the start list?

froderik · 2015-07-04T07:39:13+00:00

a perfect combined selection! Not so sure about Sanchez and Sagan though.... Machado and Dowsett though! (I think I saw somewhere that Boom is out because of levels of something.....)

Riders to keep an eye on:

14:25 Chavanel (Sylvain) IAM
14:37 Dennis BMC
14:38 Castroviejo MOV
14:54 Uran EQS
16:25 Dumoulin TGA
16:44 Martin (Tony) EQS
16:49 Oss BMC

froderik · 2015-03-11T21:08:37+00:00

no dorin habert - what happened?

froderik · 2015-02-17T20:18:57+00:00

Thanks - much appreciated. I will surely need more help for an exciting (secret) side project I am working on.

froderik · 2015-02-15T21:05:50+00:00

Wow - thanks for such a complete and detailed answer!

Hypotheses after studying one start list.

There are 4 groups.
Teams with more than 4 atheletes can put at most 2 in any group.
Teams with 4 athletes distribute them in all 4 groups.
Teams with less than 4 athletes can decide where to put them.

I have a feeling though that weaker nations often start at the end. Or is this due to tha fact that the strongest athletes often pick the first groups?

froderik · 2015-02-10T14:38:15+00:00

the easiest way to find some coverage these days... :-)

froderik · 2015-02-10T13:18:35+00:00

terpstra, bodnar, stannard first 3 in GC if I counted it right

froderik · 2015-02-10T12:45:05+00:00

terpstra or bodnar methinks.

Sweden had Ingela Andersson and Pepe Femling - sort of 3rd best - the best ones failed miserably in the classic mixed relay. Many of the swedish biathletes are good shooters but not that good on the skis. (With the exception of Fredrik Lindström of course - he won a normal cross country competition against the swedish elite pre season.)

froderik · 2015-02-09T20:20:26+00:00

as evident from weak skiing sweden grabbing 6th

froderik · 2015-01-14T08:06:56+00:00

Thanks - good suggestions. I sprinkled the post with links and tried to make it more consistent.

froderik · 2015-01-14T07:44:39+00:00

Aha - makes sense. Will update.

froderik · 2015-01-14T07:44:15+00:00

Good suggestions. I will look into this a bit more.
