Rest day for the TdF, so the Tirreno-Adriatico gets some love.  Final day is an ITT, with anything possible with six within a minute.  TT is flat & beach-side.  Britain’s Simon Yates in the lead.

And none of them being fantastic time trialists (assuming Thomas isn't nearly what he was for a few weeks once), that's gonna be interesting indeed. Impressive stage wins by Ackermann, Yates and Van der Poel so far, especially Ackermann somehow finding a way within 10 centimeters in stage one was impressive (and a reason why sprints are dangerous, but fine :p )

Big performance from Thomas, 4th overall on the day & best of the Top 3

 

Majka loses 2nd to Thomas....

 

Yates home comfortably for the overall Blue Jersey!  

 

Filippo Ganna :ITA of Ineos, long-term TT leader, takes the day by 18secs over Campenaerts.

 

So Ineos having a bad Tour, but looking decent for the Giro.

Ah cool! I’ve always wanted a downhill time trial. I might have to actually watch the Giro now.

Young British talent Tom Pidcock & Aussie old lag Richie Porte join Ineos.

Wow, I had not expected Porte to go back there. He's finally given up 100% now on winning a GT and is satisfied with having reached the podium in the TdF this year?

 

And too bad to see such a talent like Pidcock go there, but yeah that was to be expected. Laurens de Plus was signed as well and, apart from Pidcock probably their biggest hit, Dani Martinez. Again a shame, I'd have liked Martinez to get chances to develop into a nice attacking rider instead.

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people
