Was her husband with her as well? You know, the guy who bought EPO but of course only for himself (non-athlete) and definitely not for his elite athlete wife :p 

 

EPO is the new viagra, every old people knows that :)

 

Still, I don't know if she is still on the juice (doping at 57 yo seems like a very dangerous and slighty retard move to me), but come on, she is almost 60, she was/is a freak of nature.

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. 

 

Meanwhile Broeckx is still in the hospital and still hasn't woken up. They're reducing the sleep-inducing medication, but he's not responsing to sound or touch. So far they're describing his current state as a "vegetative coma" and since he has suffered very severe brain damage, it's doubtful he'll actually wake up..

Sagan is new champion of Slovakia. but no, not Peter, but his older brother Juraj :d Peter is second.

 

In fact it was an amazing race of the tinkoff crew because Roman Kreuziger won also the czech national title :d

Mountainbiker Martin Gruth won the German national championships road race.....or so he thought :d 

 

He sprinted, thought he beat the likes of Kittel and Greipel and was of course happy, until he saw the peloton pass him at full speed and realized there was still one lap to go :facepalm: 

 

:facepalm: by the way is exactly what you see Fabian Wegmann do in the background :d 

 

Belgian article, the video is in there (I guess it's on Youtube as well, but I didn't have the spirit to search for that on my phone :p )

    • 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
