Eurosport has taken over all exclusive rights for the Giro d'Italia and other RCS-organized races like Milano - San Remo for the next four years :cry:

 

I don't know if it goes for all countries, but here it means both Dutch and (much worse) Belgian TV can't show anything live anymore...especially that last part is just pure horror for cycling fans in this part of Europe :(

Andrei Grivko :UKR (Astana) has been kicked out of the Dubai Tour after punching Marcel Kittel :GER (Quick-Step Floors) in the face during the fighting for echelons in today's stage :facepalm:

Tour of Oman has been won by Ben Hermans :BEL of BMC, Valverde :ESP of Movistar won the Ruta del Sol and Roglic :SLO of LottoNL-Jumbo took the glory in the Algarve, to sum up this week :d

 

Too bad Oman is such a "meh" race that they only have the last 100 meter live or something..thanks to Eurosport the Ruta del Sol and the Volta ao Algarve were all easy to follow :)

 

Just one more week and then all the preparation races in Australia and the Iberian Peninsula and catching some money in the sand in the Middle East is over and the season can really start with the Omloop :cheer:

African championships ended today with the road races.

 

Although we are far away from Olympic qualification, it's fun to see which nations would probably earn quotas if this edition was qualifying event. It would be :BUR and :SEN, both of whom never participated in cycling before. :SWZ Swaziland wouldn't be far away actually.

 

African road qualification is always one of those very unpredictable events.:cheer:

Although to be fair, not even one of Africa's serious pro cyclists was there.. :p 

 

The Janse van Rensburg's and Kudus' of this world would probably be pretty far ahead (as long as it's a bit of a testing course) :d

That wouldn't matter as the likes of :RSA and :ERI will always qualify through rankings. :evil:

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
