So far not much has happened, other than a few moments like Lennert van Eetvelt handing a stage win to Primoz Roglic by celebrating too early, classic.

 

Today should be a fun stage:

 

vuelta-a-espana-2024-stage-6-sprint-d3ce

 

And if you look at that start location, people from certain countries might think "Carrefour, isn't that a supermarket?". And yes, you're right! We're not starting close to a supermarket, we're starting inside said supermarket!

 

Riders will be navigating the milk cartons and toilet paper rolls before heading out into Jerez de la Frontera and on their merry way.

Over the moon for Ben O'Conner today! (not only cause i got a bet on him at 9/1 when he was in the break) i can't help but feel he got done dirty in the netflix documentary so want to see him do well, hope he can hold it together and make BORA and the others really work for it now

This was truly hilarious, BORA went all-in on Lipowitz, who couldn't follow O'Connor, but then they simply kept bluffing and the other teams just ignored it, giving O'Connor more and more and more space :lol: 

 

Debrief at BORA must have been absolutely fuming at their massive blunder, that could well cost Roglic the win. Almost five minutes on a semi-established GC rider, good luck :d

This is why people prefer the Vuelta & the Giro to the Tour.  The top 10 riders are the same kind of top 10 riders, but the mid-ranked team-mates are very much......not the same.

Some people, yes. Most casual viewers only watch the Tour anyway and especially in recent years a lot of fans have enjoyed the Tour more than the other two. Vuelta and Giro used to be better though, yes. Vuelta wasn't helped with a billion stages with the same profile: __________/

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons  
    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
