:thumbup:

He deserved it. Already last year he was great. Definitely his best season so far, resulting in the National championship triumph and few months later he and Michael Kolář did a amazing job to help Peter maintain his world title. But as you know Tinkoff had 2 leaders, and selected riders to mainly work for  Contador so Juraj was out. This season he started very well too, doing a ton of hard work for Peter, and since this time Bora has a clear "green jersey history" goal, so I expected his nomination.

Massive disappointment that Mørkøv isn't in the Katusha team. Seems like they don't believe enough in Kristoff to put all focus on him!

Well, Kristoff hasn't been in a great shape at all the past months...I wonder if they'll give Zabel a chance now and then.

It's quite an interesting team anyway. I'm guessing Majka is officially going for the GC, only to lose 20 minutes early on and going for stage wins again :p 

 

Very curious to see what Buchmann can do after his 3rd place in the Youth GC last year.

Tour de France organizers don't have humour :roflmao:

 

Quote

Tour de France organizers will contact Jan Bakelants's AG2R-La Mondiale team to ask him to apologize after the Belgian rider was reported to have made derogatory comments about the race's podium girls.

 

Bakelants allegedly made the comments in an interview with Belgian paper Het Laatste Nieuws.

 

"We will contact his team so that he makes an apology," Tour director Christian Prudhomme told Reuters on Wednesday.

 

Contacted by Reuters, AG2R-La Mondiale said: "We have seen this interview and the answers of Jan Bakelants, who certainly wanted to be humorous, but in the present case it was very bad taste. We apologize to the organizers and to those who may have been offended by this remark."

 

At the 2013 Tour of Flanders, now world champion Peter Sagan apologized after grabbing a podium girl's bottom.

The Tour de France starts on Saturday.

 

Bakelants was asked some questions by Het Laatste Nieuws:

 

Question: When will you call your parents for the first time?

Answer: "When I'm done with all the porn movies, so they can bring some new ones."

 

Q: Three weeks without sex, is that hard?

A: "Nah it's alright, you know, the porn movies....plus there's always the podium girls"

 

Q: What will you bring for the free moments?

A: "Definitely a pack of condoms, you never know where those podium girls have been."

 

Prudhomme probably lacks a sense of humour or took everything serious or something, because if he read the Belgian interview, he would have seen Bakelants has a family and was joking around with his answers. Shame on you Prudhomme, shame on you for overreacting in today's world :lol:

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
