They had so much time to give all pros coronavirus on purpose, wait for them recover, and finally have them race without this mindless approach in which tons of tests get wasted for each race.

It should be noted that it’s not a guarantee that every rider would survive Covid-19 if they contracted it. The odds are most likely in their favor, but no medical professional could be 100% certain that every rider would be okay.

Looks like I was wrong & the Germans are taking #dcro’s robust approach.  :fingers:

 

Three pop concerts are being staged on one day in Germany to enable scientists to investigate the risks of such mass indoor events during the pandemic.
 

It’s German pop, so nobody cares what happens to the musicians anyway.  :roflmao:

Juraj Sagan Champion of Slovakia, Adam Ťoupalík Champion of Czech Republic

 

S0irdA8qTcOP3zaWWhkYCw.1280~Juraj-Sagan-

 

 

Ťoupalík won the traditional Czech-Slovak National championship race ahead of Zdenek Štybar and Petr Vakoč, Juraj Sagan was the only Slovak in the leading group so it was basically sure he´ll be again the national champion already some 10 km to go when the lead group was 3 and half minutes ahead of the chasing group including other Slovak riders

 

Slovakian silver for Erik Baška and bronze for Lukáš Kubiš. Peter Sagan DNS

Horrible day for Jesus Herrada - was fighting it out with Luis Leon Sanchez for the Spanish title, but dropped his chain on the cobbles with 200m to go.....would have had Silver for sure, but ended up walking has bike over the line down about 15th or so.  :cry:

Oh well, does silver really matter in these national championships? Winners gets a cool jersey, the rest gets forgotten in terms of what they did there and to be fair, LLS was already on his way to obliterate him in the sprint :d

Well, he seemed disappointed!  I’m sure if I been pedalling under an August Andalucian sun for six hours I’d want something a bit better!  :champion:

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
