absolutely expected...this sport is going to be a real garbage since some times ago...

 

at least back in green

Seriously, what's the problem? :d

 

I mean apart from Sagan being the best sprinter in the group and so everyone logically trying to conserve energy because they know Sagan will keep working on the front anyway. It's not like it's the first time he could have won, but didn't :p 

 

People attack --> Sagan will jump on their asses immediatly

People don't attack --> Sagan will beat them in the sprint

 

If you're a neutral viewer, these last 10-15km were really cool actually :)

You answered yourself ;)

 

why to watch a sport where only 1 athlete do everything and the whole remaining competitors just sit behind him and wait and wait and at the end ofc they won because they conserved the whole energy like you said..so if Peter will not try anything next time, what will happen just a boring slow cycling without ideas or any emotions..

Then we see the same thing we see in 90% of the flat stages ;)

 

Waiting and waiting until the last 10km when the sprint trains are formed. Just like now only the last 10km or so where (very) interesting because of this mix of cyclists wondering what the best option is.

Contador to miss Rio. He is gonna train for the Vuelta as expected. This eases somewhat the decision who to lead for Spain in Rio between Valverde and Purito.

 

It would be completely idiotic anyway to let Contador be the leader in a one day race in which Valverde is in the team as well :d

    • Slovakia is technically returning through Czechia :)
    • We've been told that during the past 3 tournaments as well. There won't be many opportunities left. While I obviously believe they can do something big this year, it will be crucial not to screw up the quarterfinal game from the very beginning.
    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
