It has been quite a work behind the scenes to get them to start here, and even under their country's flag, but it did work. If I'm not mistaken they train somewhere in Europe nowadays, I feel like it's Germany but I'm not sure. It's working though!

I believe she and her sister have been training at the UCI WCC for the last few months. Great ride for her today.

I believe you mean "tire."

I was in fact talking about the place where the Carthaginian empire has it's roots after the princess/queen found her way out with a trick. Tarling wants to visit it, but it's sadly flat!

And especially Yulduz is really doing good, this year's she's been finishing midway in the pack in quite strong and good races, whereas usually athletes from her background would finish far, far, far ahead of the pack. If she can keep this progress up, and of course that is always an 'if', I genuinely believe she'll be capable of slowly moving towards things like top-30 results in (mostly flat, for now) World Tour races. Doing that even once would be amazing.

Yeah, Tyre got done by other powers, but it still ended :p Carthage was with the Romes indeed.

 

Kind of off topic, but the Fall of Civilizations podcast is amazing, coincidentally the Carthage episode is the second-to-last one I listened.

The Romans had a talent for it. They did the same to Corinth. 

 

One of the best programmes I've seen of that kind was about the fall of the Hittite Empire which covered large parts of Turkey, Lebanon and Syria. The discovery of a library in the abandoned capital, the work done to decipher the language and the consequent revelations about the rise, fall and collapse of their Empire were fascinating. I'm still waiting for someone to decipher Etruscan though.

      From a quick look it appears that all the players in the Filipino men's and women's teams are all based in Switzerland and are Swiss-Filipino dual citizens.

      That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

      It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
