Especially the FdJ squad is quite surprising

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

    • 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.  
    • I would say it highly depends on the traditions of some disciplines in certain countries.   Our national sport TV boradcated Aerials live last season. Czech Reuplic has it in the prime-time of its national sports channel as far as I know. Yes Valenta won his gold more then 20 years ago but it does not matter.
