Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020 (Giro d'Italia)


Recommended Posts

And then the stage went back up to possibly 180km, then riders were standing around in the rain on the roads waiting for the bus of their teams to turn around and pick them up for a 100km stage and now it seems to be 112km from godknowswhere to probably the original finish location.

 

What an epic mess. Also Wilco Kelderman's luck: finally he has a big leader's jersey and his one glorious day to show it is washed away in a sea of rain and chaos :lol:

wait! that's not godknowswhere at all...:finger:

 

they're starting from the legendary (small) town of Abbiategrasso (which literally means "have fat" :yikes: :lol:), slightly less than 20km down the road from where I live (I'm literally on the south western border of the city of Milan)...

and the first part of the stage (until Vigevano) is the same road I'm used to cover all weeks to go to the small village where my parents were born (and where now my mom's grave is)...

 

so, once again...it's not godknowswhere...I know very well where they are now...:evil: :d

 

 

by the way, according to the latest news, they're supposed to start exactly while I'm writing this post (clearly they are going to ride until the original finish line for about 120 kms)...

I didn't mean to offend the place where they start, I meant that the start location seems to have changed 87 times today so I meant it like "Who knows where they'll start" :p Apparently by now it's sort of decided then, excellent!

I know...I was just joking about the fact that I know those places very well, being the "lands of my life"...;)

Which is awesome. At least I'd find it awesome, I remember how excited I was when Olympia's Tour (an U23 race) had a stage finish in my little home town (and a year later even a stage finish, a whole time trial and a start!), roughly 15 years ago :d 

 

Jukka Vastaranta won the sprint, I see Matti Breschel, Niki Terpstra, Thomas Dekker (lol), mountain king Kenny van Hummel, 2016 sudden surprise Sergey Firsanov and a year later among others one of my all-time favourites, Robert Gesink in the results, cool :d

Lol I thought it was because of weather but it seems this is not the cause. So now some teams can protest and force the organizers to change a stage the day before or on the same day because they don't like it or it's too long according to them:facepalm:

Why not just drive to 10km before the finish and go from there? It's not like the end result is going to be any different :p

    • Though I did just see that today's race isn't valid for FIS points.
    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).
