:COLIvan Sosa who has signed a two-year contract with Trek-Segafredo, or that was what everybody thought he did, but his agent now says that he is still on the market. 

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/despite-trek-announcing-sosa-talented-colombian-still-on-the-market/

 

On 27th of August in a press release Sosa said this, “I am a man of few words, but I am really, very happy to join Trek-Segafredo as of next year. I have always wanted to race on the highest level, in the WorldTour. I believe that’s a goal for every young professional cyclist. So, I am very motivated to race in the WorldTour in 2019. I believe Trek-Segafredo is the perfect team for me, to keep growing and learning. I hope to get some really good results for this team in the years to come.”

 

I am bit confused :mumble:

 

He could maybe turn out to be the "new" Carlos Betancur :lol:

This all seems like total chaos

This whole thing is one of the most hilariously sad things to follow for quite some time. Nick Nuyens is apparently an absolute ass of a person. The worst of the worst kind of backstabbing scum.

 

It says quite something that a ton of Dutch cyclocross fans, who really did not have a positive view of Van Aert at all, are now sympathetic to him because of especially the bullshit Nuyens is creating. And Roompot are utter idiots for going in bed with him (NN).

Belgians always cause a bit of drama ;)

They have a link in the article to the latest magazine issue which details all of the medalists.

    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
    • Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 
    • You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation
