again anyone wanted to work with Peťo... why they join him in the attack then if they don´t want to win..man, what a disappointing race this was.

 

at least it looks like his form for the WCh is growing in the right way :fingers:

They didn't join him, he joined them (Alaphilippe, specifically).

Nobody in that whole group wanted to work with each other. Really, it wasn't something against Sagan, it wasn't something against Alaphilippe, it wasn't something against Van Avermaet....it was just a few of the best guys who all refused to work together out of fear, and Matthews used it perfectly. It's really not like Sagan was a victim or something, he was just as 'guilty' as the others.

I do hope Sagan gets in full top shape again by the way, imagine the battle on the final little climb of the WCh with a full-powered Sagan, Van der Poel, Alaphilippe, Van Avermaet, Bennett and whatnot :hyper:

Is there even a hope of someone beating vd Poel though?

If I'd call that 'hope' :evil: (no really, after watching cycling for around 20 years of my 29 year life, I'd really really like a first Dutch world champion in easily my entire lifetime)

 

Seriously though, yes. He destroyed Trentin twice on a similar finish in the Tour of Britain this week, but I don't think Trentin is on the level of the others on a finish like this. Besides, those wins could end up being his undoing: he wasn't very impressive in the weeks leading up to Britain, but now he has placed all his cards on the table right there, which might be too early.

So, basically, it looks like Sagan will be stopped by a Dutchman.


I wonder if Totallympics can survive this... :coffee:

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
