This is utterly bizarre: I was and still am watching the final 20-30km of yesterday's stage in the Tour of the Alps, where the big 4 in the general classification were dominating the last part of the race, including Scarponi. Not even 24 hours ago he finished 4th in the GC, then went home to his wife and two kids, and now he's not even alive anymore.

That's just terrible. :( He was a great cyclist.

 

I had a similar experience recently. With an athlete dying one day after I watched him compete... :(

I really don't know how Dusan Rajovic became good sprinter. I know that he was in UCI camp for track cycling few years ago, but still... This is really good.

I somehow have a feeling Nibali is going to win today's stage in Croatia with an insane show of force after today's news.

This stage is right around my home town Rijeka. :d

 

I'm not there right now though. However, I was thinking about watching the final stage live tomorrow, as I'm in Zagreb.

    • That was known from the start for  and will be planned for.   Sadly just the reality of sports in North America. Canada and the US are both huge, a flight from Vancouver to Halifax or from Seattle to Miami is north of five hours. Every sports league in North America has to deal with this kind of travel logistics on the regular, so none of this will seem particularly unusual to a North American player.
    • That’s not a long distance, it’s barely a 2h flight and there is no difference in timezone. Easily doable for fans as well.
