Has anyone seen any difference? Why don't they just name both as today's winners?

Kittel is the clear winner :d

Stef Clement about this moment: "During a cycling race like the Tour, we actually see a ton of men's asses at the side of the road. So you're an adult man, standing at the side of the road for hours, looking at nothing....and when the peloton arrives and there's the 10 seconds in which you can actually see something, you turn around, drop your pants and show your ass...dude." :d 

 

Apparently trying to hit those asses with a water bottle or, even better, with some sticky lemonade-like drink in the bottle, is like a goal for cyclists :p

By the way, another 170km or so in the lead of the peloton for Julien Vermote today, who yesterday already said he has been leading the peloton for around 700km so far this Tour. Incredible work by the 'engines' of the sprint teams, like Vermote for Kittel and Thomas De Gendt for Greipel, to name only two examples :bowdown:

Can someone find the helicopter images from today's last 600-700m? It's quite fun to see how horribly Sabatini was doing his work for Kittel: he got in the lead with 600m to go, and already 150m later he was finished and meanwhile Reinardt Janse van Rensburg powered past Sabatini/Kittel with EBH in his wheel :d 

 

Janse van Rensburg might easily be named the "Man of the Last Kilometer" today.

Dylan Groenewegen had the highest speed in the sprint yesterday, this graph shows how good he actually is....his positioning sucks and he has no serious 'train' whatsoever which meant he was way behind with 500m to go, but in the last 700m he had a consideribly higher speed than Kittel and EBH at every moment, including an average of over 70km/h in the last 500m :yikes: :bowdown: (which showed after the finish, when he was absolutely gasping for air like never before)

If he'd ride for a good team and his positioning would get better, he would be quite hard to beat.

Logical that the viewing numbers go down, but damn, that's one pathetic decision by the national TV company if true :facepalm:

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
