Last year the Tour of Israel was mysteriously cancelled, this year the 'Tel Aviv Classic' died a slow death and just disappeared :lol: 

 

 

Oh Israel, stop making a mess of stuff. Deservedly in this case by the way, any new race that calls itself a 'Classic' should be automatically cancelled.

Honestly never heard of it no one ever wrote about here in any Israeli website so it’s weird some of the things in this report are false or misleading tbh I searched in all of the Israeli websites and found absolutely nothing also included the link of the Israeli cycling website https://israelcycling.org.il/  all the website about those contests are foreign-non Israeli and in order to have cycling competition in Israel you need the Sport administration acceptance which is a thing that never even brought up in government websites so yeah it’s a bit ?? (fishy)

Well, I highly doubt well-known cycling websites are all in an anti-Israel conspiracy and making things up :d So most likely it's some Israeli organizers who thought it'd be easy to have a race after the start of the Giro in Jerusalem (possibly without even involving the Israeli cycling federation) and then it all just died a slow death two years in a row.

Yep it’s reasonable and make sense after a lot of time without any hosting of large sporting events a lot of individuals and groups are trying to bring some events to Israel and while “Tel Aviv classic “ is a cocky name and organizing a competition like this would have probably cause a mess so I Admit it’s not the best idea but I’m happy with the increase of sporting events that taking place in Israel (but only if they got proper names?

Here we go again. Chokri Elmehdi of Morocco had signed a contract with Israel Cycling Academy after rumours had been going on for a while. First Arab Muslim rider for the team, awesome! 

 

Few days later aaaaaand to the surprise of absolutely nobody, he has left the team due to 'personal reasons'. Most likely the Moroccan Cycling Federation, which had pretty much never supported him in any way, suddenly was 'a little interested', asked some questions and got rather angry, more or less forcing him to sign for some lower level French team.

 

Ahmet Örken all over again :facepalm:

    • yeah you are right there but again diffrence between being a runner who has her own event, plenty of events can happen there,and being a pole vaulter that has his own event,that goes on it's own,i mean mondo's shown he can run so i guess some sprinting events could take place there but still but i get your point
    • Yeah but you have things like the Keely Klassic which was not all female 800m races.  
    • ''PV Only'-''mondo classic'',feel like it's a bit pointless to even say pv only,it's kinda obvious lol.knew this was happening but seriously waiting for this,especially since i'll be able to watch it live,so glad eurovision sport is so easy to get access to.
    • One more big European meet before the Worlds, the Mondo Classic from Uppsala = PV only - tomorrow night.   Eurovision Sport | Uppsala | Mondo Classic
    • WEDNESDAY 12 MARCH   Switzerland-Slovakia 4-3 Germany-Great Britain 4-3 Netherlands-Slovakia 11-0   Slovakia will finish on fifth place after losing their 4 matches. We will know the finalists tomorrow.   If two teams ends up on the same points, the mutual match between the two teams will be decisive for their placements. If 3 teams ends up on the same points, the goal difference in the matches between only these three teams will be decisive.
    • Oh, how nice, i didn't know. Yes, we like Italians very much, similar emotionality? Ways of expressing? Sth like this. As to Russia and Germany. The things they had really done to us are pretty unbelievable and unforgivable. I think that most people in Europe know this in theory, we felt it in reality. But we still try not to cross borders, we don't live with hatered. Maybe we should. When my mom was telling me real facts from WWII in Poland well...i was close to be ready for revenge on some Germans. But its not Polish charachteristic, maybe our mistake. And yes, Poland was peaceful internaly up to some 2007/8. Then PiS started to divide this nation, telling who is Polish who is not etc. You are either a real Pole Cathol or traitor left wing gay. Luckily they had lost but our nation is strongly divided, like two nations. We all miss this old united Poland but are living like enemies. Really. Both camps see this second as national traitors, idiots of Kaczyński or Tusk (go to Berlin etc). Probably foreigners are free of this but Poland has changed through those years. Italy seems to be lovely place to live. Not ideal, impossible, but lovely. 👍 Btw, our prime minister already in Ankara 🙂🙂. To be true we made historical mistakes. Our neighbours were in bad position, we were like empire. But were to slavic, to naive. We created some of our neighbours, lost Ukrainiians to Russia so it is not bad luck, rather bad mistakes.
