Awesome :d

 

And if you think FDJ is here with a strong team, wait till you see Soudal with Merlier, Bagioli (probably leadout for Merlier but strong by himself too), Asgreen, Cavagna...poor local riders :p 

 

Also Maciej Paterski and Jan Barta, damn, long ago since I saw those names :d 

 

Hopefully Eurosport/Discovery will show the race!

Belgian Jumbo rider Nathan van Hooydonck was involved in a car accident in Belgium this morning, reportedly after becoming unwell. He was in the car with his pregnant wife, who got off without injuries, but Van Hooydonck was - according to a police spokesman - treated with CPR and taken to hospital in critical condition...not the first time they face hardship, one and a half year ago the couple lost their baby.

 

Three others were injured, although lightly.

According to Belgian media, doctors have said there is no brain damage, so that's a first somewhat positive sign. They are keeping him in an artificial coma for now.

Despite not a lot of people attended the ceremony, it still was an awesome experience to watch guys like Thibaut Pinot, Stefan Kung or Kasper Asgreen live waving towards me :p

 

Also the night scenery was special too

Remi Cavagna won 1st stage after an impressive last 50km solo attack, in which he literally destroyed the competition, :ETH Mulu Hailemichael finished 2nd far behind, Asgreen brought the chase group in 3rd, Štoček was the first Slovak crossing the line today shortly before the peloton arrived.

Raining cats and dogs during the entire today´s stage. Horrible weather accompanied the riders from Prešov to Poprad.

Despite several attacks the winner was decided in a bunch sprint.

 

And just like yesterday again it is a win for Soudal/Quick-step, this time Tim Merlier, who else won the sprint under the Tatras ahead of Cees Bol and Colby Simmons.

@hckošice Did they mention anything about technical issues or something in terms of making the broadcasts? The official YouTube channel has a sort of stream, but it's mostly consisting of showing a few seconds of cyclists, then one or two guys in a studio talking for a while, and then a few seconds of some cyclists again (but no graphic at all, so no idea how far to go, differences, etc, basically no information at all and we can't get it from watching because most of the time no cyclists are being shown at all :p).

 

I presume there must be some sort of technical issue (Wednesday and yesterday at least, I didn't get to today's stream yet), but my Slovak is....well....yeah :p 

 

Mostly I'm happy with your reports here, so....gonna give it a try......hvala? :d

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
