We are off again with the Dénivelé Mont Ventoux,  which as its name suggests......
 

Nairo Quintana starts as favourite, also young Russian Aleksander Vlasov who was second in the Occitanie earlier.   Exotic presence of the :CAM Cambodian Cycling Academy team, which has no actual Cambodians in it.

 

Ineos not in the race today so Astana are playing the Ineos  tactics - everyone to the front of the pack & grind it out.

Pierre Latour & Guillaume Martin do the heroic-but-doomed early attacks with 8k to go.  Still in the woods, though.

 

And as soon as I hit Save, Latour cracks.  Martin climbs on alone.  20 secs on the peleton.

 

Vlasov attacks, Porte & Quintana follow.  Into the moonscape now.

 

Quintana gets left behind so now it’s down to Martin, Vlasov, Porte.

 

Vlasov is now off solo! :RUS

We’ve got another French regional race with a star-studded field, le Tour de l’Ain, over in the Jura Mountains by the Swiss border.

 

Bernal, Froome, Thomas, Roglić, Dumoulin, Quintana......

Sprint day today, big climbing days Saturday & Sunday.


Should add that Stage 3, Sunday is a near-replica of a crucial TdF stage next month.

Very weird finish!  All the main GC riders powered along at the front until literally 100m to go, sat up, looked around for the sprinters - nobody there!  Young Italian Andrea Bagioli stole the win.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:
