Which is a good thing, at least Belarus has a pretty good cyclist and a decent one to back him up. Turkey has...well, nobody, really.

 

Indeed. Turkey is just spamming their own races and that's it.

 

It's heartwarming that these spams only give them a single quota this time... They had 3 cyclists in London, 2 in Rio, and yet they NEVER managed to finish the road race. :lol:

Too bad, Onur Balkan at least last year had some slightly interesting results here and there (outside Turkey, that is), but he too is nowadays doing pretty much the same thing - spamming Turkish races.

On wikipedia the ranking is forgotten is it just? thank you

 

Looks like they used the rankings from last week and not this week which hasn't been updated yet.

 

Additionally, they forgot a second Asian athlete must compete in the men's time trial (Iran will replace Luxembourg)

You mean they'll replace Luxembourg's second time trial rider or won't LUX have any? Surely that can't be true?

Luxembourg only had 1 time trial rider, but yes it will be replaced as they are the 30th ranked nation. Same thing happened in the women's with Japan replacing France.

Well that sucks so bad. So a legitimate medal contender will be kicked out and replaced by someone who will finish 5+ minutes behind, 'because continents'. IOC, you suck balls.

Well if he was a legitimate medal contender, he'd have finished in the top 10 at the worlds and qualified that way.  It's not that big a deal IMO

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
