I wonder if that's why he was so mediocre so far, although if that's the case, he's been going on for too long..

I suppose it’s possible he had no other symptoms other than losing 2-3% off his top performance levels.  I know that COVID patients - like top international athlete my 88-year old mother - have trouble absorbing sufficient oxygen.

Very unfortunate for Yates, i had him to win it all in our contest.. With him and G out, i'm sure Nibali will still find a way to lose another GT.

Looks like a breakaway day in the Giro - 10 minutes up with 34km to go.

 

First bid for the win - :GBR Alex Dowsett goes off solo.  He’s a TT specialist so....

 

Looking very good for Dowsett now, 30 secs & 6.5km to go.  
 

Textbook 1-2 for Israel Startup Nation, sent Brändle down the road first, when he got caught Dowsett attacked, get their first ever Grand Tour win!

Big climbing day today, but it’s cold & wet so nobody much interested in the GC race so far.  30k to go, looks like it is starting to happen now.

 

And...nothing happened.  Looks like a breakaway day, then. 4 mins & 15k to go.

 

Castroviejo & Ruben Guerreiro going for the win from the break.  Action at last from the peloton.

 

Guerreiro :POR gets the win!  First World Tour win.

 

Bust-up in the last 1k for the overall, but Almeida :POR keeps the Pink.

That's what happens when it's a final climb where the steepest sections are at the very last parts, leading to everyone more or less waiting for that to possibly do anything :p

Meanwhile Edoardo Affini got fined 200CHF for a sticky bottle today.

 

Also, Edoardo Affini withdrew after Friday's stage. So yeah.

First Slovenia, now Portugal.

 

Now we need Estonia for Vuelta.

Mihkel Räim taking the stages, Rein Taaramäe taking the GC. Too bad Jaan Kirsipuu isn't there anymore to sprint well and then withdraw in blind panic when the first traffic bump is in sight. Nobody started the Tour without finishing it more often than Kirsipuu's twelve times :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.
