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

Time of the year when the kids get their chance to play with the big boys & :IRL Archie Ryan took his with a win in Slovensko up a Belgian-style climb - ie a cobbled hill with a church on top of it.

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

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
