Hopefully we´ll finally be able to qualify more than 1 rider (last time it happens also in Asia in 2008) and thus our cyclist will finally be able to fight for medal. Our cycling is still waiting for a Olympic medal, now it will be 44 years ! when the last Slovak athlete won a medal in cycling under the five rings
Don’t worry Sagan will get you the mountain biking gold

The Tokyo 1964 games were infamous for the closet ever finish in Olympic cycling. It appears that organizers want to make it an interesting course and race again. I’m very excited to see the men’s course in action, but the women’s course seems a bit mundane. However, the difference in courses may give us 2 very different race, which would be highly entertaining.

Out of curiousity: isn't it a good idea to use the spoiler option for those huge posts with two big videos and the top-3 of a stage in letters that are so big my entire screen is filled with just 3 names?
It costs only like 2 seconds extra to click on the 'Spoiler' button and post it there, but it saves a whole lot of scrolling
I really think that if Sagan wanted to he could a top 20, or even top 10 overall contender. I mean this honestly when I say this, Peter Sagan is the best all around cyclist currently.
P.S Also, shoutout to another of my California bros, Toms, coming in clutch with that climb today. All good riders, seem to want to ride in my state. I think the Tour of California should become the fourth Grand Tour

this is so absolutely insanely fantastic what a incredible fabulous sport person our small country have in this guy
Your country appears to produce many of my favorite athletes, including Sagan.
I’ve been cheering him on since he rode in my state, which was when his career was early on and I was young (12 maybe?).
I remember when one stage of the Tour of California started in my town, and I skipped school to watch it. When Sagan was introduced at the start the stage, I was in the front row and cheering for him. He was nice enough to sign my little Cannondale hat. I like that he is such a good role model for kids. He’s also pretty funny and an awesome character.

Why there's no criteriums in the UCI professional tours?
Fans can watch cyclists multiple times. The organizer can sell grandstand tickets and provide other attractions to fans. WIth the shorter course, road traffic is less affected.
The last stage on the women’s Tour of California was a criterium. I think it’s because it’s boring without natural views and terrain
