Once again Penny Farthing Nocturnes* are ignored, though.  :thumbdown:

The Tour de Slovaquie/Okolo Slovenska 2022 starting today with the 7km prologue from Petržalka (that "legendary" Bratislava district) to Bratislava.

 

The race will then resume with another 4 stages in the upcoming days with the last stage ending in Košice this Saturday :d

 

Fun fact: Interesting that even if this year the race will not go to the Tatras, still, As one can expect from a 80 % mountaineous country, it is gonna be a quite challenging edition, especially Thursday´s 15th September (which is in fact a National holiday in Slovakia) have some tasty climbing :p

Apparently the peloton and team managers were watching the TV producers' pictures in Slovakia today, and so - just like the TV cameras and especially the helicopter - they completely missed the duo of the tiny VolkerWessels team being ahead of them for 15km and scoring a highly improbable 1-2 :d

Not quite sure if this new sport deserves a new thread or indeed a whole forum...:roflmao:

 

Anyway, this weekend sees the inaugural UCI Gravel World Championships from Italy.  Quite a lot of the dual road/mountain-bike big names involved, including the Notorious vdP, Sagan, Stybar, Fernand-Prevot, but there's also a lot of discipline specialists from the Americas where Gravel Racing has a commercial circuit of its own.

I'm not really that much into the gravel scene, but I did hear UCI really wants to make these championships there own thing, and a ton of the big names from the big American circuit aren't there. Plus it's at the same time as one of the biggest races there, apparently.

 

So, whoever wins it, don't take it too seriously :p

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
