Women’s cycling often a bit lacking in drama, but two great stages to round off the Vuelta yesterday & today.  Even down to the bit where riders emerge suddenly from the clouds at the top of mounr

I agree. It was exciting until the last seconds. I'm also very impressed by 21-year old  Realini. If she can keep this level, she will be a big force to be reckoned with in the upcoming years.

I enjoyed following the race as well. It’s interesting to see the tactical differences in men’s and women’s cycling at the moment. I did like the running theme of cyclists at least trying to make thin

First stage race of the year starts tomorrow morning - Women’s Tour Down Under, runs to Tuesday, when the Men’s TDU starts.

The New Zealand Cycle Classic disagrees with you, after having the 4th stage today :p

UCI accepting this idiotic last kilometer in San Juan :lol:

 

 

You've got a super straightforward strage, basically going straight ahead for 140km, and then in the last kilometer - when the peloton is in full sprint mode - all of a sudden there's a split in the road which wasn't fenced off, so they still had to choose a left or right :d

Road furniture in the last Km, someone spraying the peloton with a hose just ahead of that, questionable television direction; the Vuelta a San Juan is in full swing :cool: :p

      Rhythmic Gymnastics 2024 Discussion Thread

      There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.

      true, but was expecting India to get troubles from Australia, not from New Zealand, and specially not by being bowled out. Makes the group phase interesting though

      The 4th best team in the world beating the 3rd best team in the world is not a huge surprise though.

      I’ve been recently introduced by some friends to cricket (or the t20 version of it, at least) and actually liked it so I’m following the World Cup that’s happening during this month
