Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020


Recommended Posts

Just catching up with the T-A from Wednesday  - there was already some fresh snow on the ground in the mountain passes, so expect some disruption for the Giro in three weeks.

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.

This is gonna be mayhem. I truly wonder what whoever designed this smoked :d 

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.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
