Dutch media are reporting Peter Sagan will get the only Slovak ticket for the MTB in Rio...hckosice, any truth to that or will he, as planned, be the second Slovak in the MTB race?

 

It'd be quite horrible if he would indeed be the only one..

Is google translate messing with me or what? :yikes:

 

According to this article on Slovak Olympic Committee website, Sagan will compete ONLY in mountain bike. While their mountain bike athlete Martin Haring will compete on road.

That's at least what the danish sports news say.

Apparently he decided already in january not to start, as he thought there was too much climbing. 
If that is so, I guess I've really underestimated the route.

So because of too much climbing on road course he chose MOUNTAIN biking instead? :d Wow, I don't get that.

 

Anyway, his chance for medal in mountain bike is zero. No way he can keep up with the likes of Schurter and Absalon.

Of course mountain biking isn't specifically climbing :p

 

And yeah, the course is seriously hard. This is not made for Sagan :d

Even with the name, the elevation isn't quite as much ;)

I don't think I would say zero (mainly because I haven't seen him on a Mountain bike course), but there's no doubt that it will be very tough.

I think in MTB Sagan has a higher medal chance in Rio than on the road. Which doesn't mean he has a high medal chance, only that I think it's higher than on the road :p

Yes, but climbing is a most significant part. :p

 

And race tactics is completely different than road cycling, with cyclists often going full power from the start... Definitely not something that Sagan is used to.

    • apparently the Japanese organizers rejected OCA's nice request    now OCA is ordering them to do so in a not-so-nice language https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decision_-_103rd_OCA_EB_Meeting_5ypY8y4.pdf   the last line is very interesting   I knew this for a while, for example that's why Jujjtsu is included in all of OCA events (despite being the worst sport to watch) but good to see OCA admit this. so with the corrupt OCA you can buy your way in. how much they paid the OCA officials for this ?   OK I know Qatar is financially supporting Padel (and UAE is paying everything for Jujitsu) but who is behind Teqball?  ! I don't think Thailand can do that. 
    • Important information on team Aerials.   There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.   https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf
    • By the way. It looks like no AIN`s will be in biathlon by the start of the Olympics. Russians filed an appeal to CAS to get AIN statuses in biathlon. But IBU did not agree to have hearings with short procedure. So the decisons are not expected before the end of qulifying period. (FIS could do the same but its top-officials prefer to help russians be back as quick as possible).   I would like to see Dolidovich at the Games. Because she is a real refugee of the relatively high level.
