Wow, only 22km time trial. :d They really didn't wanna see Froome winning again. :p

 

I really don't think 22 or 45km would have made a serious difference in his chances :p

This should be for Roglic today, before the Tour he would already be considered the favourite for today of course, but after showing some great shape...favourite number 1 :d 

 

I'd say Froome goes for 2nd, and let's say Kwiatkowski tops off his mutant-like Tour de France with a 3rd place, because why not. Maybe Küng in the top5 but I think the climb (which is seriously hard) is too much for him, just like for Tony Martin who isn't in good shape anyway for a long time. Kiriyenka might add the top-5 as well if he can survive the climb, but that's less likely than Kwiatkowski who'll take some magic for breakfast and then can do literally anything from climbing to time trialing to sprinting to cobblestone riding :p

I really like this finish line inside the stadium. Hopefully, the could do that again in other stadiums the next years.

 

i miss vélodrome that are not only velodrome by name.

This stage isn't just important for the top riders in the tour, it may very well decide the manager tournament I'm in. 

It will be Mollema, Kwiatkowski, Bodnar and Sütterlin (My team) against Kiryienka, Boasson Hagen, Uran and Matthews (no. 2's team). The rest of our teams are identical and I'm in a decent lead before the stage.

What do you think, @heywoodu? :p

His team: Kiriyenka is good but I doubt this very steep climb is good for him, Boasson Hagen is a decent time trialist but gave absolutely everything he had yesterday, I doubt he's got much left. Uran is not very impressive (but in a good shape) and Matthews, nah.

 

Your team: Mollema doesn't seem likely to have a high position today, Sütterlin should be good but he's been rather invisible so far...Bodnar is good and Kwiatkowski is the mutant of all mutants who will lead your team to victory :p

Now that I think about it, I feel pretty stupid for not having Uran there. Because a 2nd place in the GC gives 90.000 (I'm leading by about 300.000). That's the same as an 8th place on the stage (though that one gives some money from points as well)

Lars Bak in the lead!!! (Yeah, I know it's first intermediate and that it's 99,9% sure that it won't stay that way :p ) :clap:

    • lol I had completely forgotten that those two dated
    • Sports of teams  disappeared here  ..volley, hand ,basket no significatif results  long time ago 
    • This is nordic sports  The southern half of planet will shut their mouth 
    • most likely yes, but I feel  can make a good game against despite the disastrous start and losing against  in the opining game but the team did a brilliant match yesterday vs   and won by 5 goal difference  would be a second consecutive final if  made it this year 
    • I’m "stealing" your method.  I’m often very bad at this kind of prediction, but I still find it very fun to do.    France's Medal Prospects     Sports Where France Should Medal     Biathlon – France usually wins between 5 and 7 medals at the Olympic Games, but since 2022, we’ve been more in the 10+ medals range at the World Championships. It’s no secret that France’s success at these Olympics will depend entirely on biathlon results. The good news is that Lou Jeanmonnot and Julia Simon are absolute monsters on the Antholz Anterselva track. The bad news is that our men’s team hasn’t reached a single individual podium on this track since 2021 (same for Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, who nevertheless did win an Individual race in Antholz five years ago). On top of that, the Italians—Giacomel and Vitozzi in particular—are likely to be untouchable. Still, given the current form of the French team this year and the relatively large number of biathlon events, I don’t think it’s impossible to break the biathlon medal record, or even the record for titles at a single Olympics for . 6–10 medals.   Ski Mountaineering – At least one medal in each event doesn’t seem unrealistic, and the Emily Harrop / Thibault Anselmet duo are favorites for gold. 2–3 medals.   Figure Skating – Guillaume Cizeron and Laurence Fournier Beaudry are favorites for a podium spot in ice dance, I assume. Adam Siao Him Fa and Kevin Aymoz are not really in contention this year—no chance of reaching the podium this time. 1 medal.   Sports Where France Could Medal   Snowboarding – As at every Olympics, our snowboard cross team shows up in force, with many athletes who have already reached the podium multiple times in World Cups and World Championships. France always ends up leaving with one, sometimes two medals, but I feel the team tends to underperform most of the time (snowboard cross remains a fairly unpredictable sport). Léa Casta was last year’s world leader, Chloé Trespeusch is coming off three consecutive podiums, and three different men have reached the podium this year in World Cup events… But I fear Charlotte Bankes will be unbeatable among the women, and Adam Lambert looks very strong this year for the men. Romain Allemand is one of our major hopes for 2030 in big air/slopestyle—we’ll see whether he can already perform this year or simply discover the Olympic atmosphere. 2–3 medals.   Freestyle Skiing – As mentioned in an another topic, the absence of Tess Ledeux really hurts. Perrine Laffont is also injured but is expected to be at the Games, probably not in her best shape. That’s four major medal chances gone. All hopes therefore rest on our ski cross teams. Among the women, Marielle Berger-Sabbatel is our best chance, but she often prefers winning the small final rather than making it to the big final —and the competition is fierce in this event. Among the men, Youri Duplessis Kergomard is a regular World Cup podium finisher but rarely performs at championships (except last year, when he finished 2nd before being disqualified). 0–1 medal.   Speed Skating – I honestly know nothing about it, but I understand that the French team is in the middle of a resurgence. There are expectations around Timothy Loubineaud, but this pressure is completely new to him (and he has admitted several times that it’s very bad for his mental health), so I’m not sure he’ll perform well at the Games. 0–1 medal.   Alpine Skiing – France’s glory years are a long way behind us now. Cyprien Sarrazin is still injured, and I think everything has to be pinned on the men’s slalom. Clément Noël is the reigning Olympic champion, and Paco Rassat has won two races this year. Still, like Timothy Loubineaud, all the pressure will be on their shoulders to save French alpine skiing results… which makes it very tough for them. Unless we get a pleasant surprise elsewhere (Miradoli among the women, or a man in downhill). 0–1 medal.   Cross-Country Skiing – Unfortunately, results in cross-country skiing haven’t been good this year. Chanavat is coming back from injury, Claudel has completely disappeared, and Jouve and Chappaz are getting older… There’s always a small chance in the men’s relay, as every four years, but aside from Lapalus and Desloges, we’re lacking new talent. 0–1 medal.     Sports Where France Won't Medal   All other sports – No chance.     Summary   Final prediction – 11–21 medals. I’ve read some people here saying that France could be a pleasant surprise at these Olympic Games. I agree that the momentum is excellent for 2030, but the French team is still a bit “young” for this year. Beating the medal record (15) would already be a great success.  
    • Jokes aside, while I really hope for Kingsbury to win double gold, Homan to win gold, and Strate to win Canada's first individual ski jumping medal, most of all... my biggest wishes are for Eliot Grondin to win gold in snowboard cross and the men's hockey team to win gold, I'd probably be crying tears of happiness if that happened. It would mean that much to me. 
    • More useless nomination drama as NOC nominated DNF merchant Michal Jasiczek over Piotr Habdas (who returned from injury). Just like in the Komorowska/Sawicka drama the eventual pick is only eligible in slalom (which Jasiczek probably DNF's anyway). 
    • Final week of sports before a few days off for the Olympics!    Australian Open, Scotties semifinal/final, Ski Cross WC Val di Fassa, Parallel GS WC Rogla,  probably some alpine skiing depending on if I have time or not
