I guess those nations/athletes give the road race a higher priority.

 

How does the men's side look?

A whole load of nations has declined quotas for the women's TT.

 

Not a very good look tbh.

Would be zero surprise if Bettiol finishes this off and nobody really tries to catch him.

Or, you know, if anyone tries to catch him and ends up in the barrier.

Evenepoel is still positivr I guess. 

[dcro 10,210]

Odds of Olympic quotas actually getting awarded here is like 0.0000001%.

 

There is just no way a nation outisde of Top 45 actually completes this criterium.

Vatican's main sponsor is VisitMalta?

Wow, Team Alpecin must have consulted Cavendish for their dirty move on Degenkolb.

I suspect they will end up in .

 

It's looking pretty good for Mauritius at any rate. Uganda hasn't competed in cycling since 1984.

[dcro 10,210]

Massive upset in the women's race. It appears the main favorites got stuck in the peloton which finished 5+ minutes behind.

 

Nigeria will compete in cycling for the first time.

CRO Race shortly after the start today.

Langelotti has had an excellent Vuelta a España, with a few days in the mountain's jersey. Obviously he's not exactly the best climber, and he has sadly retired from the Vuelta by now. Still an excellent performance though! And I happened to read about his past a few days ago: not long ago he was 15kg too heavy (!) and absolutely addicted to gaming, barely going anywhere even to train. Magically he kept getting contracts though, rich dad might have helped.

A Monegasque guy addicted to gambling? No way.

Cynics might say  that he - or really, his team - is looking to leave the Giro early so that he can do the full Tour de France, of course, now that he is one of the hottest properties in global cycling.  I couldn't possibly comment.

Maybe he got rerouted to TdF by the Eritrean propaganda machine.

It's just how it is for the reasons of fairness. You might as well ask - Why are there offsides in football?

This must be a bad joke, right?

What a terrible year for the Dutch women (in road races).

Every single year the same crash at the same corner of Crikvenica.

CRO Race starts today. 

 

I will be attending the Sunday finale in person. Should be able to catch the peleton on two (!) spots.

Damn, all those Belgians got drunk for nothing. Good to see spectators out there, though.
