Men's Road Cycling UCI Amgen Tour of California 2019


Recommended Posts

Horrid last 5km for Tejay Van Garderen. His chains snapped, he took the wrong route, and got caught up in a crash while behind the peloton. All while wearing the yellow jersey. 1km to go

Poor Sprint for Sagan, pretty sure I could’ve beat him today :p

More of a usual sprint for Sagan this year :p 

 

The best sprinter in this year's ToC (looking at this year) won the stage. Also a very impressive win for Remi Cavagna the day before, and a great ride for young American Alex Hoehn.

Yeah, Alex Hohen has a good ride. I’ve been disappointed again this year by Lawson Cradock though. I really though that he was going to be next good American rider...

Americans who are promising when they're young are generally disappointing in the end :p

Hahaha they gave everyone the same time after Van Garderen's fall so he wouldn't lose time after all :rofl:

 

Which would be fine and, more importantly, according to the rules if it was within the last 3km, but it wasn't.

It's rather annoying to hear :p (and yes, just to be sure: Dumoulin not getting the same time as the rest is 100% normal, it'd be stupid if he was saved the way Van Garderen has been saved)

So Vaughters is expecting Van Garderen to either fall way, way behind on Mount Baldy or utterly annihilate everyone there and arrive 15 minutes before the rest? :d

    • The men's tournament still hasn't had a single game without a goal difference of 10 or more in favor of the winner. The women's tournament has also started.   WEDNESDAY 14 JANUARY   Men   Netherlands-Finland 0-16 (0-7)   Norway-Sweden 1-12 (0-6)   USA-Hungary 10-0 (4-0)   Women   Finland-Sweden 0-8 (0-5)   Norway-USA 4-1 (1-1)
    • Yeah,I said before Xmas that when the  women lose a superstar someone always comes through who responds to the best coaches & slowly gains the confidence to win the big races.  Looks like she has arrived just in time
    • Now I looked at the results and I was very happy that Italy was 2nd, but when I saw Lisa's last split on skis, I was a bit worried
    • 2nd place for Italy is great, but I'm worried about Lisa's weak run on skies in the last stage, and without a fast run there will be no individual medals in Cortina In normal form, Vittozzi shouldn't lose more than 10 seconds to the Norwegian on the last split from the shooting range to the finish line. Perhaps Lisa has had some hard training - she missed the stage in Oberhot and that's why her form in the run on skies is a bit weaker? 
    • First of all in: Big Air, Slopestyle etc. are disciplines where judges decide the results 100% and this is bad. The average person, when they turn it on during the Olympics, has no idea why someone is 1st or 3rd, but when he turn on alpine snowboarding, he see who finished 1st and who 2nd.
    • got a 2 min penalty for no tag at the exchange 
    • I wish our TV had such a good reason to show SB too 
    • On the other hand, why bother with snowboardcross, which only has 1 or 2 World Cup appearances in a single season before OG, due to a lack of sufficient route? For me, it's also a dead sport, just like Nordic combined has been for some time now, with many World Cup races being canceled. For today, I would prefer team competitions in alpine snowboarding to snowboardcross, if only because in this first there are regular World Cup competitions every 1-2 weeks, and not 1-2 for the entire season.
    • not anymore...   now Czech TV shows mainly alpine SB because of Ledecka and now also the young rising star Maderova 
    • I understand )) It is a shame that these reallocations in FIS disciplines may happen too late.   As far as I know FIL had consultations wirth the IOC and quickly removed 3 incorrect AIN`s after that. I do not know if FIS did the same but it looks like they did not. Since we see a lot of AIN statuses for people who do not meet the requirements. Thus some reallocations may come only after the AINERP review. I can say nothing on Zueva right now. She is not cleared by the IOC yet, by the way. But Belorussians (or at least rrepresenting Belarus now) behave lin different way. Russians on the other hand prefer to show loyoalty to the regime since it provide them with substential benefits and positions in local administrations and parliaments.
