Bit late, but this was an absurd stage last week :d 

 

 

I knew Colombia had mountains, but hot damn. :yikes: 88 km continues uphill road is crazy. I bet the riders with "thrilled" :d

The winner somehow still had a bit of a sprint in his legs, no idea how that's possible :d 

 

And it was divided in 5 climbs, but in reality it's just one long monster. To think you really, really start to feel the altitude at 2000 meters and in this stage that meant you weren't even halfway yet :lol:

Got some drama, but not many pictures in the Tour de l'Avenir as :ESP Pablo Torres is on a solo attack to make up 3'55 & win yellow.  He seems to have 3'10 already.

Meanwhile in the women's Tour de l'Avenir, Marion Bunel of France took the win, but someone else showed once again that she definitely is a very well developing cyclist, as we could already see for her sister at the Olympics: :AFG Fariba Hashimi with a very impressive 8th place in the GC in a super tough race.

I think we might all have missed it, I certainly did because I was just checking up on results now, but we've got some honestly awesome women's cycling history :hyper:

 

Last week there was the 6-stage Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l'Ardèche, not a World Tour race, but definitely an excellent field of riders, nothing wrong with it at all. Stage 5, a not that easy hilly stage, was won by none other than :AFG Fariba Hashimi!

https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-cycliste-feminin-international-ardeche/2024/stage-5

 

Yes, that is correct, Afghanistan has an actual UCI win (and not in one of the tiny obscure tours, like the Tour of Samarkand or something, but a big international race)! And it's a women's race, to add to that! I'd argue this is one of the most historical results in world sports in 2024.

 

Told you these Hashimi girls are no joke at all :bowdown:

Today was the Saitama Criterium, kind of the 'closure' of the season, although not very serious. The finish was kind of hilarious, with Girmay clearly having been selected as the winner beforehand :d

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
