Turns out British Paralympian legend Sarah Storey is another case of asthma TUE glory. And the TUE was granted AFTER she tested for too high salbutamol level. How long this crap will be tolerated? There must be millions in play if thet let these cheaters get away with such obvious rules bending. Good thing Storey isn't Russian or else they'd ban her ass forever.

:GBR rider Connor Swift pays a tribute to Julian Alaphillipe in the Tro Bro Leon - sits up & celebrates the win too early, almost loses it.  Millimetres in it.

Just catching up on the week's cycling outside of the Giro, this finish of Wednesday was insane :d What a freaking monster kilometer :lol:  That is really not the 11% the road book said it was :yikes:

Just saw it now but this was pretty cool, winning in your not really big home city (born and raised) after a great solo, how often does one get that chance? :bowdown:

Ronde van Limburg on Monday...Brent van Moer was working on a great solo ride and might have been on the way to the win (although the peloton was catching up very fast, I don't think he'd have made it)....but then was misdirected a few hundred meters before the finish :facepalm: 

 

 

The video of the misdirection is on the NOS website, not sure if it works outside of the Netherlands:

Damn what a win. And he basically did the same earlier this month.

New Evenepoel :p (although Evenepoel did this for more than a year, going on a solo attack and winning by minutes)

 

He does have a World Tour contract at BORA for next year already.

This item could go in several categories....:GBR Tom Pidcock has broken his collarbone in training. Is out of the Tour de Suisse, but still optimistic for the Tokyo VTT.

    • GERB actually aren't pro-Russian. They have always been pro-EU and Europe oriented and joining Shengen and the Eurozone happened in part because of them, though with a huge delay. They however have very well used the pro-EU stance to hide the rampant stealing of public funds and corruption surrounding their 10+ year ruling, which is the main reason people protested against them so many times. A bit Orban-esq they have also pretty much filled all institutions with their people, so it's hard to clean their mess.   Radev on the other hand has always been a pro-Russian proxy, though unlike Orban he is much more calculated with his words and actions. He is taking the "diplomatic" and "national" approach, though if you listen to his comments they are clearly favouring Russia.    Even though this guy was President for many years, that position is without much power here, so he hasn't had the chance to do much trouble. But he did manage to plant his seeds in many people's heads, as he always blamed whichever party was ruling for all the troubles in the country and many believe he is our new "saviour".    Compared to Hungary, the situation here is much more complex, as there isn't anyone as popular are Magyar and there are several strong parties, which always get practically the same number of votes.   Radev is surely winning, though the hopes are for the sane people to do damage control. But the truth is there aren't any many good choices, so it's going to be a lose-lose situation.    I don't expect a coalition to be formed, but it will depend on the number of parties passing the 4% threshold. So yeah, we are once again hitting the never-ending elections cycle, which the country has spun into since 2021.
