Meanwhile the Tour of Turkey has started yesterday, probably by far the worst of all World Tour races in terms of organization and participation, but much like the Tour of Portugal it's always a fun race to see who magically destroys the field suddenly :d 

 

Just thinking back to the likes of Mustafa Sayar #NeverForget

@MHSN What happened to the top Iranians/Iranian teams? I see the Tour of Iran is going on and suddenly Rob Ruijgh of all people has taken over the lead jersey after another Dutchman who's name I already forgot and who rides for an amateur team won the 1st stage :p

I thought these were the races were some Iranians destroyed everyone and teams like Pishgaman (?) went on a full-team breakaway to take the first 6+ places :d

Giro d'Italia 2018 stage profiles http://www.cicloweb.it/2017/11/29/anteprima-altimetrie-giro-2018/

Froome confirmed that he is going to participate.

 

Stage 1:

And that, right there, is why Israel is now mad as fuck :lol:

 

In their minds, it should be just called 'Jerusalem' (even though apparently the international community doesn't really accept it like that, since the East is apparently one of the many occupied Palestine areas), and because the Giro organizers named it as 'West Jerusalem' (which they did to stay away from political stuff) the Israeli government is now threatening to withdraw all support :roflmao:

 

In the Netherlands, we would call this 'Calimero-behaviour', after a popular children's series. I just saw it is a Japanese/Italian series originally, so maybe you know it :p

Well it's not new that they start in Israel, that has been known for quite a while already :p 

 

There is an Israel Cycling Team in the ProConti level, so there's...something :lol:

    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
    • Hezbollah didn't kill any civilian while Satanyahu already killed 2000 Lebanese , so who is terrorist ya head of eggs ?    everything is reversed by western  Media , they make you beleive the opposit cause you are stupid 
    • Portugal   (WC title holder and European champions) lost 1-2 with   (4th in 2021; lost SF at penalties with Portugal)
    • You mean the rally when Rylov and Bolshunov were there, for example?
    • I don't think it's about the Crimea issue. It goes back to 2014, and then Russia started normally. At that time, the problem was organized doping. Another 3-4 years of a total ban for Russia and the sport there will completely collapse. Most of the current stars will either end their careers or go to other countries to compete (for now this think isn`t on a mass scale but I think that soon there will be a movement. For now, there is still waiting). 
    • The Italian finally got up and finished the race. Today, the first junior gold for Italy since Ulissi in 2006-2007. Mark Lorenzo Finn won. In recent years, we have had gold medals in the men's U23 category: Battistella in 2019 and Baroncini in 2021. So far, however, these competitors havn`t met expectations. In my opinion, if we don`t have at least 1 Italian group at the WT level, it will be difficult to reach the results beginning of the 21st century. In 2005, when the Pro Tour (now World Tour) was created, Italy had 4 groups in this series: Lampre, Liquigas, Domina Vacanze and Fassa Bortolo. And yet we had very strong groups before: Mapei, Saeco, Mercatone Uno etc. Now we don`t have one
