Flèche Wallonne survives today.  This is the one that finishes at the Church on the Mur at Huy, not in the citadel at Namur, as I mistakenly thought until I watched the women’s half an hour ago. It’s on ES, filling in the hole in the schedule left by the Dutch big girls’ blouses.

 

 Anna van der Breggen took the women’s version this morning, 6th year in a row.

I'm talking about the ones who are from countries where more and more are getting in the bigger teams, like Eritrea. They are in it to be a pro cyclist, not just to compete in those championships. Obv

I wonder if these couple of stages will be the most watched Paris-Nice stages in history.

Alex Aranburu has been pulled out of the Giro d'Italia because of a positive test. Again, not that test, the COVID-19 one. Jonas Gregaard was standing at the start of the Fleche Wallone today, but was pulled out and so didn't start, the reason is probably obvious :p

Hirschi, one of the riders of the year, takes the win :bowdown:

 

Perfect opportunity for him this year.

Wow, Flèche was being led by yet another Belgian Boy Band member, Mauri Vansevenant, when he crashed with 3k to go.

 

Hirschi gets it!

Hirschi was great and all, but can we just acknowledge the performance from Cosnefroy for a minute! What the hell was he doing in the mix for the win?

 

I will say that Hirschi is quickly becoming one of my favorite riders to watch.

Yeah, good to see Cosnefroy get attention for something way better than scraping points for the 'mountain' jersey :d

Twisty, narrow finish on wet roads in Aalter today for the BlinckBank, high likelihood of crashes if there’s a sprint. 20k to go.

 

Phew, got through it thanks to many outrageous diversions through front gardens & pedestrian precincts.  Did Mads Pedersen get any wins in the WC jersey? Got one today.

 

In the TdF we see beautiful monasteries & stately homes.  In Belgian we get helicopter views of remarkable transport intersections.

Binck Bank today is a short, hilly, twisty ITT around Riemst.  Ought to see some changes in the GC.  Kind of improvised at the last minute, but in Belgium there’s always plenty muddy fields of root vegetables willing to welcome a hastily-organised cycle race.  Bit hard to tell if those are spectators or scarecrows, though.

Mathieu van der Poel off on a solo attack in the BinckBank, using the Kapelmuur at Gerardsbergen to break up the race.  40k to go.

 

20k to go, van der Poel still has a minute, peloton has broken up.

 

Now got an an exciting three-way chase for the overall between vdP, Kragh Andersen in Chase Group 2 & Pedersen in Chase Group 3.

 

van der Poel gets the stage by seconds, Kragh Andersen screams with rage because he misses out on the bonuses.  Great race!

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
