Well, congratulations lucky Nibali. Hopefully at least Chaves can keep his lead tomorrow. 

 

What an absolute nightmare day it was.

Horrible crash in the Tour of Belgium with, again, two motorcycles. Apparently they were riding on a path to the side of the road, which suddenly ended, resulting in them suddenly being in the mud. Because of that they lost the control of their motorbikes and "flew" into the peloton. Reports are saying around 20 riders were hit and 11 are transferred to a hospital. Stig Broeckx (BEL, Lotto-Soudal) is apparently the worst hit rider: some are saying he has been resuscitated and moved to the Aachen hospital by trauma helicopter.

Very stupid by Cunego to not go in the break-away when all his rivals were there. Now after chasing the KOM jersey the whole Giro will lose it at the last second.:facepalm:

I'm doubting he is strong enough to attack again, but yeah, this is quite painful :facepalm:

Don't forget though that it's not a matter of just saying "Ah alright, let me get in this break away" and done...it's not that easy :d 

 

By the way, I know Nibali/Chaves/Valverde etc didn't attack yet, but so far Kruijswijk is looking surprisingly strong.

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
