hckošice 13,275 Posted August 9, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Looks nice. Hopefully we´ll finally be able to qualify more than 1 rider (last time it happens also in Asia in 2008) and thus our cyclist will finally be able to fight for medal. Our cycling is still waiting for a Olympic medal, now it will be 44 years ! when the last Slovak athlete won a medal in cycling under the five rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that organizers want to make it an interesting course and race again. I’m very excited to see the men’s course in action, but the women’s course seems a bit mundane. However, the difference in courses may give us 2 very different race, which would be highly entertaining. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I still think that the women would eventually find their course also very tough...for them there's no need of a Tourmalet/Mortirolo kind of climb to make a big difference... meanwhile I hope Nibali would finally have his revenge after the unlucky Rio ending of his Olympic campaign...this course seems to be really good for him...

However, the difference in courses may give us 2 very different race, which would be highly entertaining. I don't think it matters much for the women's course, there's just two options: a course purely for sprinters (Wild, Dideriksen), and something that's not. The depth is just so small yet that there are not a lot of specialists.
