And the Amstel Gold Race being held would be decided this week, but that's been postponed to next week and not looking that great.

Yeah, that’s France for you.  Now that they’ve got the great National Symbol of National Unity done, everyone back into their rabbit hutches.

Cross-posting this here - early snow in the Alps, seemingly this is also affecting the Alpine parts of the Giro route, and more is forecast.

Yeah, as soon as the dates and route were known, I don't think anyone expected to actually have every climb in the race :p It's the Giro, that's how it goes.

Everyone, take a breather today, because it's going to be madness from tomorrow on :d 

 

 

I don't believe it's correct, since I think 2 November is the first day without a WT race after tomorrow, but still.

Stage one of the Binck Bank today!  20k to go.   Unique feature: a blizzard of quick sprints just before the stage end to break things up.

Yeah, 3 sprint bonuses in 1km.

 

Jasper Philipsen of UAE gets it by half a wheel.  Lots of GC guys distanced by the crash, looks like a few season-enders as well.  :cry:

Aaaaand that's it for the BinckBank Tour. Or it could be. The three stages in the Netherlands have been cancelled tonight, organizers are scrambling to see what to do now. An option is to have a time trial at the Zolder race track.

 

Bit of a weird decision specifically to cancel tomorrow's stage. Like a lot of people would show up on a rainy weekday for a time trial in Zeeland of all places. Anyhow, tomorrow is going to be a rest day after today's opening stage, whether or not the Tour will continue will be decided later.

    • 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)
