Nice British double in the Women’s GP de Plouay this morning.  Lizzie Deignan beats Lizzie Banks after a long dual break. Big :NED &m:ITA names in the chasing pack never managed to bury the egos.  Race held in pouring rain & driving wind, or what we in Britain call “a day at the beach.”  :beer:

Young Hungarian Attila Valter has taken his first serious win by winning the main stage and GC at the Tour of Hungary today, which had a rather strong field of participants.

He's been showing good results for a while, but this is sort of a breakthrough. Cool to see Hungary having someone new after one-trick pony Laszlo Bodrogi.

Sprinter Grosu takes Tour of Romania in another bizarre turn of events. Did he train with Wout van Aert by any chance?

Did you see him just casually be the only one to follow Diego Ulissi's attack in the pretty long uphill finish in Luxembourg yesterday? :yikes:

About Luxembourg: yesterday riders were already angry at the rather poor organization, with tons of cars being parked right in the heat of the sprint preparation battle, incredibly dangerous. Konovalovas was dropped after his work was done...and finished 12 minutes later eventually, because he had to stop for a red light - apparently the road had already been reopened.

 

Today it was again incredibly unsafe and very early on, riders decided to neutralize it and basically go on strike. The 160km stage ended up being 40km, since the deal was they'd at least race the last 40km, leading to a sprint win by Demare.

    • It's an interesting question, Norway is certainly expanding their efforts into a number of new sports. So, that cannot help but to peal off a few more natural athletes. I know their training methods are kinda rocking the world in a number of summer endurance sports.  I can't really speak to they dynamics of their development program. Their men's nordic programs largely always seem to be ridiculously deep, overwhelmingly so the last decade or so. 
    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster  
    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
