World class cycling comes to my home town!  So naturally I am sitting in a chair watching it on TV.  Tour of Britain rolling into suburban Edinburgh, going to be a breakaway win.

Alternatively you’ve got an exotic mixed team time trial relay in the European Championships at Trentino.  
 

Organisers have missed a trick to create drama by putting the nailed-on-certainty-to-smash-everyone team of :NED in the first wave.

Not even a little bit the big favourite :d

Great moment!  Little boy about 11 years rides a small climb on the pavement alongside the pros in the breakaway group, beats them to the top!  Pascal Eenkhorn gives him his bottle!

 

:wub:

I can't believe i missed it, but Sagan has signed a two-year deal with Total Direct Energie, a Pro-Conti team !?! :yikes: Like no one wanted to have Sagan on his team?! The guy will be only 32 in january.

It is not about no one wanted Sagan it is about no many wanted his team. Peter has only one condition before signing the contract, his brother Juraj, his neighbor friend Erik Baška, the slovak DS Ján Valach, his personal masseur Maroš Hlad, and Maciej Bodnar must also join the team at the same time for the same period of the deal.

 

This time only Direct Energie accepted it, so he decided to make a compromise, dropped his salary condition, and they all 6 signed a contract. This is the way Peter is doing his career, helping his friends and family.

So after the pope yesterday today I saw Peter Sagan for the first time in my life :d Košice is like the most active city in the world lately haha

 

Today started the "Okolo Slovenska 2021" in Košice by a prologue in the main street and it was pure madness, thousands of people came to see Peter starting finally (first time ever) at the Tour de Slovaquie at his 31. I saw also Froome or Lutsenko. Especially Froomy had some nice welcome, he looked really happy to be there :) quite a great day, it was. Tomorrow the city will also be the start and finish place of the stage 1

 

A couple of pictures and short 1 minute highlights from the prologue of Okolo Slovenska still under the :VAT flags :p

    • River Flow in the Fitzroy River, Rockhampton: Olympics/Paralympics Rowing/Canoe Venue With some concerned with river flow unfairly affecting some rowers/canoe paddlers more than others in both types of races, Rockhampton Regional Council said the months of July and August, when the Olympic/Paralympic competitions will be held traditionally saw the least need for the Fitzroy Barrage to open in response to river flows. Queensland Senator Matt Canavan also says: “Rowing authorities, who wanted the rowing held elsewhere, have raised the issue of the streamflow of the Fitzroy river, but this question has locals scratching their heads as much as the crocodile hype has.” “The Olympic Games are due to be held in winter, and Rockhampton gets barely any rain then.” “A recent hydrological study of the Fitzroy concluded that the river falls to almost zero flow in the winter months.” “World rowing rules state that courses should have no significant current, which is generally interpreted as a streamflow velocity of 0.1m per second or less to ensure fairness across lanes.” “Data from the Fitzroy River shows that in July and August (when the Games will occur) flow rates are below this threshold 99.9 per cent of the time.” “Indeed, the average flow rate at this time of year is half the recommended threshold. And this data is from a gauge upstream of a weir. The flow rates at the rowing course will be even lower than this.” “World rowing authorities have also been flexible on these rules for the Los Angeles games in 2028.” “The rowing in LA will occur at the Marine Stadium at Long Beach.” “This rowing course is connected to the ocean and affected by tides.” “Flow rates in the waters surrounding the course (in LA) have been measured at up to 0.2m per second, double the recommended threshold.” “Marine Stadium at Long Beach has been approved despite this.” “And the rowing course in LA will be the shortest in Olympic history at just 1500m, rather than the standard 2000m.” “Unlike LA, the Fitzroy River is not impacted by tides because barrages control flows from the ocean.” “And, unlike LA, neither the streamflow rules nor the length of the course will need to be compromised to hold Olympic rowing at Rockhampton.” * * * * * * So both World Rowing and the International Canoe Federation (ICF) will need to do their inspections and technical assessments during July/August which is when the Olympic/Paralympic competitions will be held.
    • No Crocodile Concerns - Olympic Rowing Course, Fitzroy River - Rockhampton   From ABC News Australia:   Crocodile farm owner John Lever, who has been working with the animals for more than 40 years, said the population in the river should not be a concern and could be managed. "I think we have to look at it sensibly. It's a great opportunity ... it's a fabulous river," Mr Lever said.   "Crocodiles are most active at night and there won't be night-time activities. Crocs are actively feeding at the water's edge and the rowing will be held over deep water."   Mr Lever is a long-time advocate of the government re-categorising the stretch of the river where rowing is held as an active removal zone to have crocodiles surveyed, trapped and removed.   He said crocodiles were less active in winter when the Olympics were expected to be held (in July/August winter time).   "You're more likely to get hit by a bus on the way to the boat ramp than you are to be taken by a croc," he said.   "In the winter time when the water temperatures go right down, the crocodiles become lethargic and don't eat much because they can't digest food.”
