Stage races where they have a road race and time trial on the same day (as stage Xa and stage Xb) are way too rare in my opinion. I like it.

I want to see a road race stage done as an elimination stage. Race 200km and eliminate the last rider to cross at each km. Or I just want an insanely long stage, like 300km followed by a 50km time trial the next day, and then a 25km Mountain stage the next day, and then a good ole’ sprint stage to finish it off.

Or just go back to the good old time when 300km was just an average stage and you'd have to cross 400km to even call it an especially long stage :p

Also: no more mechanics and riders have to fix their own problems and have an inner tube carried around their necks for 8 hours on the bike just in case.

Sagan’s done it before. It would honestly make the race more exciting for better of worse.

    • People saying Trump didn't actually win these elections are just as annoying and dumb as the people who said Trump actually won the 2020 elections, yes, we agree on that. I still have hope this time it won't turn into an attempted coup, though.
    • Maybe it's on the normal left, mostly those "influencers" who go on tiktok and share their "amazing" life are woke gen z who often listen to media like gospel and when Rachel Maddow tells them that orange hitler won, it's time to lose their shit, shave their head and move to Canada 
    • I do not. I have no clue what part of the left you're looking at right now, but as someone who leans left I don't recognize anybody I know in what you're saying.   People are very much in wound licking and internal recrimination mode, there is no apetite to fight at the moment, and there likely won't until Trump oversteps on something (which every president inevitably does).   The mood on the left is very, very different than it was in 2016 and for some reason it doesn't seem like the right is picking up on it at all.   There is genuinely not a lot of crying is goign on this time, sorry to dissapoint. You can obviously find it if you want, bit country and whatnot, but if you're trying to get a pulse on how people on the left are feeling chasing the few people who are crying isn't going to help you.
    • I don't doubt that stupidity after 2020 fueled this, not saying people were right, for a while i was part of those people but then i stopped and thought about everything and realized that it's just dumb, Biden did win and that was that (Actually happy that it happened, based on what's about to happen)   And yes i know that people think that some senate races were "stolen" or some house races, doesn't mean that they were (kinda glad Lake lost, she's a lunatic, Arizona should get someone much better for the next governor and senate race)
    • I'm talking about how his denying the loss in 2020 fueled this. Pretty sure that you know that very well (it's just about half an hour since you replied to me saying that people on both sides claiming the other one cheated are fools)
    • There is nothing going on, i just love seeing liberal meltdowns, just funny how random people starting to election deny on the other side (which i predicted long before). You don't think that on January 6th those lunatics will try to prevent certification in congress?  
    • Have you considered that you might not be getting a very representative view of what's going on from those accounts?   I spend more time that is healthy on TikTok and I've seen zero election denialism (either from the right or the left)
    • Na, i just see it on X accounts that post liberal meltdowns, i don't go to tiktok, don't have an account even
    • Kari Lake was kicked out everywhere she ran, And it's funny that you're talking about election denying after trump won, doing a bit of election denying ourselves are we?
