Road Cycling 2016 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I was hearing the finish of the Pan Am Championships woman's race when their crazy as hell dictator decided it was time to start spitting the delusional speeches he's used to give...

 

How crazy this has been; few days ago the Championships were at risk because the host city doesn't have a functioning airport/airfield, so they had instructed teams to arrive to a Colombian city just across the border; however that particular border cross is closed because Venezuela's government has been acussing the Colombian authorities and civilians of taking advantage and illegally proffiting of the terrible shortage of goods the country has been suffering. Thus the organizers had to practically beg their authorities to temporarily open the border to the few shuttles they send to pick up the foreign delegations.

Tinkoff's car fucks with Firsanov's time by stopping right in front of him giving him no space to pass :facepalm:

 

Also thanks to the idiots who are standing on the side of the road :facepalm:

Foliforov wins :d 

 

Kruijswijk just keeps showing he is very surprisingly the absolute best in this Giro :yikes:

And then there's still the 3rd week to go, which is where he's often on his best..

    • 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
