On the other hand, the formation of groups is perfectly normal in all other sports with a pursuit format. And yes, being in a group offers advantages in those sports as well, that's part of a pursuit. 

 

No doubt about that, but I fear that the advantage would be too big in cycling.

But that's just how I feel. I don't have much knowledge on exactly how much easier it in on the wheel of somebody else compared to other sports.

The Dauphine has it's first mountains stage today and the climb of Mont du Chat.  Let's see if Valverde's unbeaten streak will continue. :p He was great in the TT, so i expect nothing less today.

Wait, Fuglsang won :lol:

 

Froome screwing up Porte's win by nearly pushing him in the barriers. 

And this eventually decided the GC :d 

 

Fantastic final stage with an epic Fuglsang vs Porte battle, Fuglsang eventually won it by a few seconds because of those seconds Porte lost Friday when Froome nearly pushed him in the barriers.

Congrats to Fuglsang, even he doesn't know how that happened. :d He joins Talansky and Brajkovic as the OMG winners of the Dauphine. :p It's good for Astana though, since they have had a horrible season. With both Aru and Fuglsang for the Tour, they will definately stir the race. Fabio showed very good form after the injury. I want to believe he can do good in the Tour. :pope: 

 

Porte missed on another 1 week victory. Maybe this time it will be good for his GT ambitions. Definately was the strongest in the Dauphine, but we know his GT pedigree. Still can't imagine him being a favourite for the Tour. And speaking of favourites, Froome still not so impressive. This whole season has been so misty for him. Sadly it won't matter come july and he will power through with the Sky train as history has shown us. :sleep:

Fantastic win for Birdie. I'm so happy for him!

It will be extremely interesting to see how he'll do in the Tour. Fingers are crossed for a new best result for him

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
