Terrible crash just now in the sprint of the Scheldeprijs. One guy went down hard, I think someone else hit him on the head when he was down already. A few riders sitting and standing here and there, but one guy from the Riwal team was quickly shown just lying on his back motionless with medics attending to him and blood visible on his face...

 

Replay showed his head hitting the ground and his helmet just 'jumping' away immediately, he was hit after that...

The crash, happening because Ackermann makes a dumbass move. Logically it's just waiting for him to be DQ'ed, but I wonder when something will actually be done. Every single sprinter does it..

Ugh.

 

At least there's a double Mont Ventoux in it. And again a rather limited number of time trial kilometers, as is getting usual nowadays.

Back to ye old flat stages I see :( At least we get to visit Andorra in a major event for once.

 

This year’s route was so good. It created fantastic racing. This map doesn’t leave me with a lot of hope for next year’s route.

Sad story, he was always a real hard-worker who did at least get a few great moments, notably in the 2015 Het Nieuwsblad.

There's a ton of more than excellent riders still without contract for next year. Bahrain-McLaren managed to ignore all that and instead, do this.

    • 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!
