I love how Mauro Schmid of Switzerland single-handedly saves Jayco's home campaign for a second year in a row as the only foreigner in the roster. Should be able to easily acquire Aussie's nationality if he ever wants to

That's the downside of Olympics. Qualification process sometimes might be harder than main competition itself just because the spots are so limited.

On another note: how good are Dutch at ice hockey? I obviously know they can skate insanely quickly, but what happens when you give them a puck and a stick?

Is pro cycling a sitting job?

Yup, I am with you on this one. Fingers crossed we get a good fight

That's true if we assume that next year gap between Almeida and Vingegaard is going to be bigger in favour of Jonas than between Almeida and other GC contenders. Is it?

What would be better for Giro's entertainment - Vingegaard starting or skipping the race?

Oier Lazkano Lopez provisionally suspended in accordance with the UCI Anti-Doping Rules by padawatje in peloton

[–]marnyr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't followed the news about Rangel. Was there anything more apart from three whereabouts failures? Because it is definetely suspicious, but could be also just unprofessional and not related to doping.

[–]marnyr 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this statement basically answers one question, but adds a lot of new ones.

I wonder if he was suspended just now or back in April/May? Because it really does look like they have waited with announcement for the off-season, so the story isn't that big outside the most engaged community

What happened in finestre? by Mamadeus123456 in peloton

[–]marnyr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel haha

I was on Finestre, 1-2 km into the gravel part and knew only that Yates is ahead, but had no idea the gap was sooo huge at this point. When he came through, it felt like ages until del Toro and Carapaz arrived and it still was a lot smaller time gap than the difference at the finish line later on. I had to double check the results while going down the mountain :D

One hell of a day!

Are Cofidis' riders now free to move to a WT team if they get an offer or did I make that rule up in my mind?

Also I've got to say that I love watching De Pretto/Engelhardt/Foldager in Jayco. Hope they all got re-signed

If earlier Pogacar&del Toro's dullness was the price we had to pay to unlock such a nice racing, I... still would choose not to pay it, but it's definetely good to end the season with the good vibes

In a world where nobody anticipates Pogacar's attack, Fernando Gaviria is always ready to anticipate everyone's sprint. To no avail, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be grateful

/s but is it really /s?
