Or having fun...

Let me look around UCI ranking 500 for :CRO best cyclist again :p

One of the good things about cycling: nobody gives two fucks about the ranking :p Like, it's pretty much never even mentioned, at all :d

We do, considering the number of Danes at the Worlds and Olympics. And Fuglsang's ranking has gotten som attention as well.

I'm beginning to wonder. Will we ever see @hckosice in the cycling comments again the day that Sagan retires? :mumble:

 

good question. I guess no, since it will be the end of cycling :p

For Slovakia possibly, but being the kind of person who hates when a single athlete seems to get all the attention, I wouldn't mind, though I admit that he's rather entertaining. ;)

oh c´mon ! I was joking. I am following the tour since "eternity" now, the first time I watched was in 1996 with a certain Bjarne Riis winning I do believe remember correctly the commentators the first Dane Tdf with real class. I immediately falled in love with this race, then in the following years I started to watch cycling more and more, also the other races. I would never thought we will ever have a good cyclinst, Peter Velits was already something for us, when he was leading the race climbing the first the La Croix de fer (If I remember correctly in 2009 or so) but then arrived the Saganmania, so I am just enjoying these moments, I know, that after he´ll retire we will never have anyone close to his achievements.

 

Now we have one good athlete, other countries have hundreds world class across different sports, we have one world class, so give me a break :p

I didn't even know the ranking had something to do with it :lol:  But that makes sense I guess. There are probably at least 25 cyclists at the moment of whom I'd believe it if you say he's number one, I have no idea :p

Ah yeah, the good old days of Bjarne Riis (I was 5 so didn't really watch). Where has the time gone where cyclists got up in the middle of the night to excersise, so they could avoid their blood from clotting due to excessive and utterly extreme EPO use :wub:

That's what you get from being a cycling power house. We care in the smaller nations!

    • Well, I see that the national competition between mixed doubles and also men increased. Also actually amongst women, too. Before it was mostly Kubeskova team that participated in some international events. This year, Synackova team did really well in the pre-qualification just the final qualification was not that good. But curling is about details. Generally, I am glad to see that there is really much higher competition than it was 10 years ago. And seeing Chabickovsky a Zelingerova making it to the Olympics in such a young age can be really promising for their career as curling is becoming more professional, as we see Grand Slams and other big tournaments.    As for now, I think that in Milano Team Klima and mixed doubles can make really interesting results. After all, they will finish in top 10 so just qualifying to the Games is already a huge achievement

    • Please do not bring this idea to Sindo  
    • Tahli/Dean    Probably just as disappointed as the Australians on here are
    • Gotta feel for  defending world bronze medalists, but couldn't make it to the Olympics
    • with a steal of 3 in the 8th end,  can't make the last shot to stay alive.
    • Oh yea.  Seemed like they were starting to get some less than elite pitchers, but the commits they've had in the last 12 hours have been stellar.  Now the staff feels like an embarrassment of riches.  They have 3 elite starters and a bunch of guys that can eat innings.  Thrilled what Mark DeRosa has been able to put together.
    • It looks like you guys will be juuuuust fine.   Tarik Skubal, Logan Webb, Joe Ryan and Nolan McLean all committed within the last couple of days.
    • Yay for no disqualifications! Thanks @OlympicIRL for all the work! Getting close.
