Meanwhile the Tour of Turkey has started yesterday, probably by far the worst of all World Tour races in terms of organization and participation, but much like the Tour of Portugal it's always a fun race to see who magically destroys the field suddenly :d 

 

Just thinking back to the likes of Mustafa Sayar #NeverForget

@MHSN What happened to the top Iranians/Iranian teams? I see the Tour of Iran is going on and suddenly Rob Ruijgh of all people has taken over the lead jersey after another Dutchman who's name I already forgot and who rides for an amateur team won the 1st stage :p

I thought these were the races were some Iranians destroyed everyone and teams like Pishgaman (?) went on a full-team breakaway to take the first 6+ places :d

Giro d'Italia 2018 stage profiles http://www.cicloweb.it/2017/11/29/anteprima-altimetrie-giro-2018/

Froome confirmed that he is going to participate.

And that, right there, is why Israel is now mad as fuck :lol:

 

In their minds, it should be just called 'Jerusalem' (even though apparently the international community doesn't really accept it like that, since the East is apparently one of the many occupied Palestine areas), and because the Giro organizers named it as 'West Jerusalem' (which they did to stay away from political stuff) the Israeli government is now threatening to withdraw all support :roflmao:

 

In the Netherlands, we would call this 'Calimero-behaviour', after a popular children's series. I just saw it is a Japanese/Italian series originally, so maybe you know it :p
