Androni and Gazprom have already pulled out of the upcoming Sibiu Tour, which is supposed to be one of the first somewhat decent races (there's also the Tour of Poland which won't be televised in any way since media won't be allowed, so yeah).

 

Meanwhile the Hamburg Cyclassics, moved from August to October, has now been cancelled.

If you find a way to bypass (if any) geolocation, the Tour of Poland can be watched on the Polish television website, i.e. sport.tvp.pl

If I were to find fault with it, the first races were in Poland. But the organizers have so spoiled the promotions of these races that it is better not to say than to praise that my country was the first to organize such races.

Interesting, since it was specifically mentioned no members of the media would be allowed. I wonder who films it :d

Yes, the one who went from struggling for a top-100 finish in the Tour of I believe Poland (which was normal, considering he was nothing more than average) to nearly winning the Vuelta a few weeks later :p(and later actually winning, officially)

TVP is the inseparable media patron of this race. Even when the tour for this year's edition was announced, it was done in a public television studio, so I suppose there will be coverage. I looked at the schedule of this station, there will also be reports this year. If you want this broadcast plan to you.

No, that is a separate race, which will be held for the first time :p The 67th Tour of Bulgaria starts next tuesday with Caja Rural and Delko Marseille as top teams. It took a global pandemic and stopped season to finally get Pro Con. teams :d

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
