Understandably so. Tough choice though....I think personally I'd have gone for Cosnefroy over either Laporte or Madouas.

I'm guessing (just guessing) that Cosnefroy would have been an Alaphilippe bis. There, the four riders would each have a different role.

Shit news. He is obviously set on recovery followed by a crack at the Triple Crown, but still, would a dig at a first ever Golden Triple Crown not have been worth it?

 

Will be interesting to see what form Remco brings in, as well as Matthieu vdP and Wout vA. no Tadej = changes of plans.

Didn't think Pogacar was the petty type, but he surprises in many ways.

 

This has nothing to do with being tired and everything to do with the Slovenian federation not taking his girlfriend to the Olympics. This is his final FU to them after previously harshly criticising their decision.

Hmmm...NOCs are notoriously good at holding a grudge. Pog may find, if this is true, that he doesn't necessarily get another chance.

Solbjørk Minke Anderson was hit by a car during training (in Denmark) and is out of the women's road race. Rebecca Koerner will take her place

    • you don't even have idea how it works   last week he was the best of the field and now he's in bad shape?   on Friday he was 24th despite 4 (4!!!!!) missed shots and Yesterday he suddenly went out of shape?   be serious!   he either just had bad skis or he got sick, like many other athletes (see Vittozzi)   the snow in LGB is usually shit, results are always heavily influenced by that and Italy is one of the teams that usually struggle a lot in that place   nothing new and nothing to be worried about
    • Don't look now but the Bears might actually win the division in Ben Johnson's first season as HC...      
    • Festival of Music   For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration.     I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This.     Picture This - This Christmas  
    • pair Danilova/Tsiba hasn't fulfilled the national criteria to participate in the Games but their skating federation has sent a request to the national olympic committee for an exception and to include them to the TeamNL. https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/knsb-dient-verzoek-in-voor-olympisch-startbewijs-danilova-tsiba/
    • Juniors were there recently and the track was awful   Although that's not necessarily bad. Tracks don't all need to be fast, a slow track (like the horribly slow one in Poland) simply favors a different style of athletes. Training a lot there doesn't really give much extra advantage though, not like in sliding sports where of course as host country you make sure your athletes know every single meter a year before the Olympics.    And to get back on topic: speed skater Elisa Dul broke her tibia and fibula in a training fall yesterday and will obviously be out of the OQT and so the Olympics. 
    • The PSL race in Davos was (yet another) insult to a beautiful discipline. The red course (which was actually yellow) had several holes and an exposed ice sheet, which made the athletes slide way too long, causing DNFs or massive time losses. The only positive note is that Caffont won despite racing on the more dangerous course in the final

    • Ski Cross WC Innichen   Women Gold-  Marielle Berger Sabbatel Silver-  Fanny Smith Bronze-  Sandra Naeslund Naeslund only winning bronze    Could very well be a preview of the women's big final at the Olympics.    Men Gold-  Reece Howden Silver-  Alex Fiva Bronze-  Tobias Bauer   With his win today, Howden is now the all-time leader in men's WC wins with 20!    Solid 4th for Jared Schmidt as well   Full Results
