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

Olympic Road Race courses revealed...and we're gonna have some tough, really tough races...especially the men's one...

https://tokyo2020.org/en/news/notice/20180809-01.html

The Tokyo 1964 games were infamous for the closet ever finish in Olympic cycling. 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.

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...

It would be epic, but for that time I think the leader will/should be Aru, Nibali is getting older

Aru has no talent (he was only lucky -and very suspicious- in his only good run at the Giro a few years ago)...if they make the mistake to count on him to win a medal, it would end up in an epic fail for us...:facepalm:

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.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
