Messed up crash for Magnus Cort Nielsen in the finish of stage 1 at the Tour de Yorkshire a few minutes ago:

 

 

Good news is he was walking away by himself, bad news is it looked like he broke his collarbone.

Yet another cyclist has lost his life as Linas Rumsas, son of Raimondas Rumsas, was found dead in his home. He was only 21. :(

And he's not even the only one this week. 2014 Namibian champion Raul Costa Seibeb (25) was killed in a car accident.

Yep, a crash in a descent. Followed by the Giro d'Italia organizers announcing a new 'best descender' classification. :facepalm:

 

Have they lost their fucking minds? Are they blind? Idiotic? Retarded maybe?

Yes, it's the big news of the cycling world in the last days, most cyclists have already expressed their concern and anger. It's the Premio Miglior Discesista, where they choose 10 stages with a 'descending segment', and the rider who is the fastest on that segment gets the points.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
