oh dear what pity this puncture in Rio...

 

Still about that? :p You do realize that he was still losing some 30 seconds to leaders on every intermediate after he changed the tire. :evil:

 

Anyway, congrats SVK :d

Apparently the Belgian commentator didn't even mention the name Sagan until after the finish as well :d 

 

I would have hated so much to see Cavendish win, seeing Boonen win would have been annoying because their commentator even talks about Boonen in a women's junior race (imagine if he is world champion again..hell no)..seeing Leezer win would have been the best joke ever and seeing Sagan win is just normal but pretty fun :p 

 

He is comparing teenage female riders to Boonen or something? :d

No, but in every race he somehow finds a way to turn the conversation towards Boonen :p

Oh dear. What will he do when Boonen retires, what I can imagine will be sooner rather than later...

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
