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:

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!

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:

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE
