With it being October, there is already concern about the weather on some passes and stages for week 3. I think some of the favorites and teams are shifting decisions in getting the pink early in case of bad weather and whoever needs to get back time, will have a hard time with canceled climbs by the final week. Though our commentators were joking today, that the authorities have said that in any case the riders will go through Stelvio, even if it's behind a snowplow. :d

I don't think anyone - riders, team managers and fans - is expecting the full course to be done as planned :d

Not too good to see the doctor not stopping him, he looked like he was wobbling quite a lot and showed signs of a concussion..

He did indeed have concussion & abandoned today.  But questions will be asked etc etc.

Finish in Matera today, I absolutely recommend anyone who isn't familiar with that to Google it, especially if you're interested in general history it is incredibly interesting :wub:

Slowmotion pictures of Sagan slowing down and taking a foot off the pedal to take a leak. Right, great TV :lol: 

That's what happening when you're a star. Paparazzi even in toilet ;)

I would be more impressed if it was Kim Jong-un instead. :p

Almeida stopping on the side of the road to change his radio stuff and McNulty hitting him straight in the back. That could have ended up worse.

Wow that pure domination of Demare in this sprint :yikes: 

 

I mean, I've seen clear sprint wins, but this was just humiliating for everyone else :lol::bowdown:

    • 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).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
