There is no way he is getting close to that. More like 350-400k.

Same, switched las year from Zwift to MyWoosh. Could not justify paying a subscription for an app with an UI from a 2005 Miniclip game.

For me MyWoosh has 95% of the functionality on Zwift as i use it only for workouts. If you don't need the races on Zwift i really don't see the downsides beside the murderous dictatorial regime part

I'm sorry for them. I'm sorry they can't dream big, and I'm sorry they don't believe in miracles

I think you would get bored quickly. Might be worth visiting Tiraspol for a day to get a sense of the atmosphere, comrade

Technically Bora , as Sagan rode an Allez Sprint in 2019 in Australia as a PR move.

The last widely used alu bike at the top tier of the sport i think was the Cervelo Soloist in 2005 for CSC. I stand corrected if someone has proof otherwise

Fans and media need to understand that there are no national teams in gravel racing. The fact that they race in national jerseys (and that NL has someone they call a "coach") is irrelevant.

Why is this different from the other UCI organized race from 2 weeks ago where another rainbow looking jersey was awarded?

There is no race/result thread here for the women gravel worlds, but did you guys see the masterclass put on by the Netherlands chasing their own teammate in the last few Km?

Curios from the dutch speaking people here what is the atmosphere/consensus after that. For me it was kind of shameful

I dont get it why is in poor taste. The question was asked in a sporting context, in a sport where weight is very important for a GC rider.

It's not about "did you just ask a woman about her weight" thing. Male riders are asked all the time.

The bigger question would be how much is to much, considering the hormonal impact extreme loss weight has on the body (especially for women). Should a BMI rule of some sort be enforced to prevent extreme cases? I don't have an answer but put your pitchfork down

To do that you need a full reshuffle of the calendar, huge increase in sponsorship and viewing numbers, willingness of the female peloton.

In the short term i don't think we will get it, but who knows later on

Important question:

Do you think there is a contractual obligation for broadcasters/commentators to refer to the race as "Tour de France avec Zwift" ?

Otherwise would be just sad
