It´s always hard to find who is the leader in NED team :d It´s usually a delight to follow the dutch teams tactic during the race :d

Tactics? We have tactics in these kind of races? Where did you hear that? :roflmao:

tactics is a bullshit in fact in road race, sure there are some strategic plans, but c`mon, it`s too dynamic to have "tactics".

 

Our only hope is Majka, Kwiatkowski seems to be in terrible shape, Gołaś in even worse, why Gołaś is in - nobody knows

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

Nope, definitely not. Tactics are incredibly important in a road race, it's considered a semi-team sport for a reason. 

 

The only problem is in the Olympics the teams are often too small to have decent tactics and riders don't always like working together because they're not teammates in their commercial/day-to-day teams.

Considering what "tactics" mean to modern cycling (ie having your teamates upfront to defend your 6th post basically), I don't think, it's much of a problem at atll :d

 

If anything, I'm expecting the most entertaning race of the season :cheer:

And also no team radio. All the reasons why Olympic races are 10 times better than anythnig else imo. ;)

sure i meant olympics - how to plan tactics having 3 or 4 riders, sure - as i had written there are some preasumptions, some plans, but i wouldn`t call it "tactics"

Oh don't get me wrong, exactly because of a likely lack of team tactics I'm expecting the same kind of exciting race :d

And where else than in the Olympics and possibly worlds will you see riders from obscure cycling nations attack in the first kilometers? :bowdown:

    • Just rewatched that last minute, because apparently there were a controversy according to medias, but it took almost 15 minutes.  oh dear, this sport is just something else.    
    • Apparently was leading 0.4 seconds to go by 3 points but still managed to lose the match     Anyway it looks there some progress from the loses to Albania and co from couple of years ago... maybe thhere a chance for a win in a international match in the next decade. As San Marino proved last week in football, only sky is the limit

    • Hope so (for my adopted country, Norway, that is). Torino 2006 was the first Winter Olympics I followed closely and it was nothing short of a disaster for Norway. Strangely enough, that was actually the reason I became an avid fan of Norwegian winter sports and have been ever since. As for my actual home country, Greece, a medal for Ginnis in slalom (alpine skiing) would be a miracle.
    • Medal matches are set for Sunday:   Bronze Medal Match:  United States vs.  Venezuela   Gold Medal Match:  Taiwan vs.  Japan
