So final Giro ITT, Tourmalet in La Vuelta and Paris-Roubaix the same time? That'll be tough! :p

Feels like it'll be a headache for the teams to schedule!

 

But well. That's all a question of whether it will actually happen!

I think i liked the previous version better. :d

 

The Giro is screwed it seems. Tour - Vuelta is the obvious double for the GC riders, while all the Classics are also opposed  the Giro, which will take away the other stars. They will have to depend only on riders, who will directly have the Giro as their main goal. 

 

Now if the Tour is somehow cancelled, then that is the jackpot for the Giro. :d I've read a lot of french authorities say "We won't have Roland Garros and Tour de France without fans", but i don't think they will have the guts to cancel them if there are no fans.

Valverde is going to do pretty much everything :p 

 

1 aug: Strade Bianche
8 aug: Milan-San Remo
23 aug: Spanish championships
29 aug – 20 sep: Tour de France
27 sep: World championships in Martigny
30 sep: Fleche Wallone
4 oct: Liège-Bastogne-Liège
10 oct: Amstel Gold Race
11 oct: Gent-Wevelgem
14 oct: Dwars Door Vlaanderen
20 oct-8 nov: Vuelta a España

 

Generally Valverde's peak is roughly from the end of January to halfway in October, so he should be fine.

'Recognize the cyclist by their celebration'. It's in Dutch, but you see a photo and three names so that doesn't matter :p  I had 6 out of 10

    • Yeah,I said before Xmas that when the  women lose a superstar someone always comes through who responds to the best coaches & slowly gains the confidence to win the big races.  Looks like she has arrived just in time
    • Now I looked at the results and I was very happy that Italy was 2nd, but when I saw Lisa's last split on skis, I was a bit worried
    • 2nd place for Italy is great, but I'm worried about Lisa's weak run on skies in the last stage, and without a fast run there will be no individual medals in Cortina In normal form, Vittozzi shouldn't lose more than 10 seconds to the Norwegian on the last split from the shooting range to the finish line. Perhaps Lisa has had some hard training - she missed the stage in Oberhot and that's why her form in the run on skies is a bit weaker? 
    • First of all in: Big Air, Slopestyle etc. are disciplines where judges decide the results 100% and this is bad. The average person, when they turn it on during the Olympics, has no idea why someone is 1st or 3rd, but when he turn on alpine snowboarding, he see who finished 1st and who 2nd.
    • got a 2 min penalty for no tag at the exchange 
    • I wish our TV had such a good reason to show SB too 
    • On the other hand, why bother with snowboardcross, which only has 1 or 2 World Cup appearances in a single season before OG, due to a lack of sufficient route? For me, it's also a dead sport, just like Nordic combined has been for some time now, with many World Cup races being canceled. For today, I would prefer team competitions in alpine snowboarding to snowboardcross, if only because in this first there are regular World Cup competitions every 1-2 weeks, and not 1-2 for the entire season.
    • not anymore...   now Czech TV shows mainly alpine SB because of Ledecka and now also the young rising star Maderova 
    • I understand )) It is a shame that these reallocations in FIS disciplines may happen too late.   As far as I know FIL had consultations wirth the IOC and quickly removed 3 incorrect AIN`s after that. I do not know if FIS did the same but it looks like they did not. Since we see a lot of AIN statuses for people who do not meet the requirements. Thus some reallocations may come only after the AINERP review. I can say nothing on Zueva right now. She is not cleared by the IOC yet, by the way. But Belorussians (or at least rrepresenting Belarus now) behave lin different way. Russians on the other hand prefer to show loyoalty to the regime since it provide them with substential benefits and positions in local administrations and parliaments.  
    • I would say it highly depends on the traditions of some disciplines in certain countries.   Our national sport TV boradcated Aerials live last season. Czech Reuplic has it in the prime-time of its national sports channel as far as I know. Yes Valenta won his gold more then 20 years ago but it does not matter.
