RCS has made itself a little ridiculous, by this week announcing that teams in Milan - San Remo will consist of only 6 instead of 7 riders...not even two weeks before the race  

 

Of course this results in two more teams getting a wildcard.

Milan - Sanremo is completely a mess this years...A lot of city have revoked the availability to host the race and RCS had to change the route plus time

Yeah, although that's not really RCS's fault as much as it is a matter of circumstances. Changing the entire format of the peloton so short before the race is just idiotic

Hey Phil, your Twitter account might need a better password...

UAE has taken three Colombians out of the race because they had been in contact with someone who tested positive. Meanwhile Movistar wanted the entire Israel team out after Roy Goldstein tested positive. Goldstein wasn't at the race and the only other Israel rider he has been in contact with was taken out of the race, so Movistar's reasoning would mean every cyclist - including their own - should be taken out of the race

Well, not that surprised with road cycling already getting a lot of such accusations.

 

The virus could spread through peloton like wildfire.

Saw it also at an Israeli Facebook page , someone wrote that now the “local “ cyclist are not interfering the might succeed...

The Giro has announced the profile for the opening time trial, but apparently they've done it the wrong way

Actually that’s a good idea.  Lets’s have a descent time-trial for once!  Down an alpine ski-slope!  

 

Sadly, would be ruled out by all the safety complainers.

Ugh.
