Oh no... I just can't... I just can't believe this. Just days before it was supposed to start, Plantation Field Horse Trials suddenly got cancelled. With all the COVID-related cancellations, it was supposed to be pretty much the season highlight in North America... Any why did it get cancelled? Because there is a word "Plantation" in the name. Mind you, this event is not even held in the South. It's in Pennsylvania. Never again am I visiting Eventing Nation.

Things are still kind of slow in the equestrian world, but essentially yes, Zanotelli is indeed a force to be reckoned with at any given competition... Aside from double gold in Lima, he appears to be competitive against the Europeans too. Notably he won a big class in St Tropez just a fortnight ago.

Kevin Lédanois, Dion Smith, Jasper Stuyven (three days, no less), Jens Voigt, Blel Kadri somehow had a day in the jersey well into the Tour in two consecutive years, four days for Jussi Veikkanen (who apparently was quite a decent climber actually, early on, with top-50 finishes in the Giro). I think 2008 is a nice one to end it with: three days of David de la Fuente, followed by two days for Riccardo Ricco* and later seven days for eventual winner Bernard Kohl, who finished 3rd out of the blue and was disqualified due to the rather obvious doping. * The doping king got the jersey after that epic Saunier-Duval stage where his teammates Piepoli (later DQ'ed) and Cobo finished 1-2. Daniel Teklehaimanot had it for four days, but to be fair, it'd not be entirely right to call him a non-climber. It's just noteworthy because he's from Eritrea and that was cool.

Yeah, but how many red square combativity awards? None, that’s how many, none.

Cosnefroy with arguably one of his best results ever, finishing top-30 in a stage like this is more than excellent for a non-climber.

I mean...what? There’s a lot of idiots who live in the U.S I guess

I must say, I didn't wake up today expecting a group of Teletubbies to be the smartest people around

I spotted some teletubies wearing masks there

Landa with the fail of the Tour so far What an anticlimactic stage so far..

Yes, that's the plan

Latin American Spanish in general can be frustrating because of all the colloquial/slang words. Some words have different meanings in different countries, and can even be offensive in some cases. Some items just have two names for no real reason. It can be confusing for someone who doesn’t speak Spanish as a first language.

That's why I feel about Chilean and Brazilian Portuguese

According to Coates, it is unlikely Iran will be banned from the Olympic Games: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1098447/navid-afkari-execution-olympic-ban-iran

No, both of those were at one time the same Keltic people. Also Galata in Turkey! The Keltic languages were the most widespread in Europe before the Roman Empire. Literally from Ireland to the Urals.

So, who the vak created the 'vak' and exported it?

Slovakia

Well this is going to be a big blow (no pun intended ) to the condom industry, since we know the OG brings a spike in their profits.

Gibraltar fights back with pi-pa transitions.

@Ionoutz24 and is the least possible combo for me
