Luke Lamperti has earned a top 10 finish at two races in Belgium.  Will be keeping him on my radar as the weeks go by.  

 

As far as LA28 goes, here's how the quotas break down.

 

Max per NOC:

4 per gender for road race

2 per gender for time trial

 

Host Country Quotas:

2 per gender for road race...must earn the rest.

 

In Paris: We earned 3 M for RR, and 2 for everything else.

 

Earning quotas is partially dependent on our UCI Road World Ranking by Nations.  Currently, we're 9th for M and 15th for W.  That would mean 3 M for RR and 2 W (i.e. same as Paris).

 

For TT, we'll get 1 rider for each gender based on our Ranking.  Then, we can earn another one per gender if we're in the Top 10 at the TT at the 2027 WCh.

 

In Paris: Kristen Faulkner won Gold in the RR, and Chloe Dygert won Bronze in TT.  :)

Matteo Jorgenson in good position to podium tomorrow given his position now in the Tirreno–Adriatico race. :) 

 

Luke Lamperti won the first stage of Paris-Nice, but has since fallen back.

 

Gotta get started getting familiar with our 786 athletes... :lol:

Road cycling is weird when it comes to the Olympics. Some of the top US cyclists haven't gone to the OG in the past.

 

For example, Sepp Kuss won the 2023 Vuelta which is one of the three grand tours and he didn't go to Paris 2024.

Today was Women's Time Trial.  US took 1-2 :)  Kristen Faulkner won Gold (she won Gold in the RR in Paris, as well as Gold in the TP in Track Cycling!...and she also won Gold in this year's track PanAms in TP and IP).  Emily Ehrlich (who also was part of the PanAm TP Gold, won Silver in the IP, and won gold in the TP and IP for 2025 and 2024...and who beat Faulkner in the 2025 USA TT on the road) came in Second.

 

Men's TT is tomorrow (but I don't think we have any of our guys there).  Women's RR is Saturday.  Men's is Sunday.

Today's news in Road Racing:

 

Down in Colombia at the PanAms: Emily Ehrlich finished just off the podium (top 10)...Faulkner unfortunately crashed with a lot of other riders in the last 1km.

 

Milano-San Remo: Brandon McNulty was in the pack just 4 seconds back (28th place).  Matteo Jorgenson was 42 seconds back (42nd place).  Luke Lamperti was farther back (3:45, 91st place).

 

For the Women's race, we had Caroline Wreszin at 47th place (40 secs back) and Heidi Franz in 86th place (7:34 back).

    • Looks like i severely overestimated the intelligence of the average Bulgarian.. Tragic result, but will see what happens now. Initial stance last night was that there won't be any EU blockage, but we will be "standing our ground on Bulgaria's interests", whatever that means. The campaign and the whole election cycle was more towards our domestic problems, corruption and status quo. There wasn't much foreign rhetoric, even though everyone knows Radev's position.   It's basically wait and see at this point. Like i mentioned before, this guy isn't as bombastic as Orban, but more tactical and cunning, so i don't expect fireworks in front of whole Europe.  
    • First careers Play-off hattrick for Juraj Slafkovský last night in the opening Stanley Cup Play-Offs 1st round. That was like million years since it happened last time from a Slovak player       
    • Do they have to make every sport a mass sport? There are mass sports and elite sports, and let's keep it that way. Not every sport has to be global, so let them back off and to leave fencing with safe...

    • To give some insight into how ridiculous Angharad's time was, the mixed relay that includes her, the infamous female breaststroker, is one second quicker than the four that includes Adam ****ing Peaty.   It's VERY rare your quickest mixed 4 includes your female breaststroker - the slowest stroke also creates, generally the biggest 'sex' gap. But if your male stroker is relatively very weak (think USA Tokyo 2020) it can be explained.   When your male stroker is Adam Peaty, backed up by Filip Nowacki, its insane.
    • Doesn't seem to be major changes.   Section 3.B has been updated in relation to the host nation quota to introduce 'eligible' into the criteria. In the new version, 'if the host country has not already qualified an athlete, the highest-placed host country eligible athlete based on the final results of the Olympic Games 2028 Qualification Event will directly obtain a quota place. If the host country has already had one or two athletes qualify via alternate pathways, the host country quota position will not be granted and will be reallocated.'   There is also a change to section F1 and F2 to introduce gender criteria - 'If an allocated quota place is not confirmed by the NOC by the confirmation of quota places deadline, or is declined by the NOC, the quota place will be reallocated to the next highest placed eligible athlete not yet qualified of the same gender from the same qualification event where the quota place was allocated , adhering to the maximum number of quota places per NOC, as outlined above (B.2).'  
    • Massidda is another disappointment and Imperio- it's great that she has gold, but she's not making any progress in her results and with this result, she won't even qualify for the Olympics in 2028 (in 2024 also her failed to qualify). Considering the return of our old friends from Eastern Europe, Italy can basically give up on the sport- our chances of an Olympic medal are practically zero, at now.
