You have zero knowledge about Law & Justice then. They are being accussed of tying up too hard to USA (esp. with a Republican President) than EU. Nobody wants to side with Russia over here, they remain a common enemy. Law & Justice simply dislikes Muslim immigrants & LGBT rights. They will never support that, period. Being against EU ideological rights doesn't mean siding with Russia. This is something the so-called West can't understand for years. Duda has 51,1% of the vote. It is over. Another loss for the Civic Platform. The conservatives & the countryside have toppled the liberals from the big cities again

4-wide at white flag and Cole Custer wins at Kentucky. He was literally nowhere for 99% of that race. Probably first rookie to win a non-shortened Cup race since Denny Hamlin at Pocono in 2006?

Sure is. Both Iowa races will start around 2:30 am CET

First exit polls are in and Andrzej Duda takes 50,4% of the vote! Super close but Law & Justice has it locked down for the next three years now. Turnout was 69% which is huge for Poland! Duda was supposed to be favored with a lower turnout as it's usual the case with Law & Justice as well.

Yeah, Steve Redgrave & his streak. However that 1996 spanking made GB transfer the lottery funding into sports thereafter. It's funny they didn't do it before. Probably Thatcher's strict fiscal policy had something to do with it but someone more familiar with the topic could elaborate. Poland used national lottery money to fund sports even during the communist era.

Next weekend will add Australian Super Cars and MotoGP!

Typical F1 politics. After two races it's clear Racing Point is the "best of the rest" - hell, with Ferrari sucking they're Top 3 on speed. And that makes other teams' angry. This protest won't go far IMO. We've seen this bullshit before.

SPM blew the strategy and lost the win. Should have put O'Ward on blacks on the last stint. Those used reds were gone in the last few laps. Still only one Mexican winner at Elkhart Lake!

Daly was right at the back and managed to crash into someone anyway. I kinda miss Helio Castroneves trying to jump every restart and cause a wave off

Norway made sure the symbicort doping is legal. That can't be undone. The spanking they took at the 2009 World Champs in Liberec made the beast angry!

I bet the guys in the back got the Green Flag call and O'Ward simply didn't go. That's the issue with these slow starts. You bunch the field up and mayhem happens. Will Power punted Hunter-Reay off and wheel-banged Rahal into a crash few seconds later too. Nice one!

Road America Race 2 starts in ca. 40 minutes. It's always tough to predict the green flag time in these US races They have 2,5 hour window before Kentucky NASCAR Cup race starts.

Since it's not Russia, the so-called Western World will do everything to cover up that something was iffy about London 2012. We all know IOC won't open the LA 1984 Games can of worms especially when it comes to Carl Lewis who admitted to using doping on record ca. 20 years ago already. UK would probably like everyone to forget about Wiggins and Froome but cycling is Top 3 of the dirtiest sports in the world where even the TUE excuse looks suspicious. However I'm still waiitng on the Mo Farah/NOP deal. That threat is still real even though British Athletics has fired just about everyone in charge of the federation at the time. Let's see if that works!

C'mon! By modern standards that was 6/10 race. You don't remember the utter borefest at the Valencia Street Circuit for instance? Not to mention some of the Catalunya classics nobody remembers anymore

Ferrari waited two corners to fuck up their race

Scott Dixon goes 3 for 3 in Road America Race 1. Championship looks as good as over already. Newgarden stalled in the pits after leading half of the race and finished 14th. Race 2 is tomorrow. Alex Palou gets the best rookie finish of the season in 3rd!

More like a genuine racist. You can't sell me a 30 year old person doesn't know who the fuck Hitler was. Americans don't care much about non-American things but Hitler made plenty of noise even NFL players should know what's up. This isn't "Africa is a country" type of dumbos

Not enough cynicism here to be this bad And I'm a guy who LOVES cynicism

The so-called world has a habit of turning back on other people if juice is not worth the squeeze. Tell me how many troops Great Britain and France send when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939? That's old news but hell, nobody gave a damn about the Roginhyas lately either. Nobody cares about the civil war in Yemen. Nobody cares about War in Donbass The list goes on and on... Hong Kong needs to take a number and wait in line. Their goose is cooked

Bottom line is, China is the second biggest global economy in the world. Communists have mastered how to play the capitallist game which is even more impressive if you consider Mao's tenure dragged them even lower than the Soviet Union's communism. Nobody's gonna die to keep democracy in Hong Kong

Neah, IOC won't annoy China before the Beijing WOG. You should know better how it works

Retirement at age 20 could only mean two sports in 99% cases - figure skating or gymnastics. Take a guess

West would be a flameout in the blocks but what if LeBron James says he wants to run for President? I can totally see that happen in the 2030s tbh. Athletes are egoists too but people view them in more positive way than some trash-talking rappers.

Imola? WTF? This track has lost its soul with all the chicanes. Catalunya is the last relict still on the calendar and even all the new Tilkedromes avoid those sweeping bends and fast chicanes that simply prevent overtaking by default. Imola was a great track in the 80s and early 90s but it died the day Ayrton Senna was killed. Does anyone even remember those horrible artificial chicanes at Silverstone or Spa in 1994-95 they introduced in wake of Senna's death? That was a completely wrong solution as well. The old Hockenheim died in 2001 as well. I never liked the modern version and the fact they abandoned the long straights in the woods. This new layout has no soul either.

With Kanye West announcing his intentions to run for President the reputation of the office has taken even a bigger hit. In 50 years time I won't be surprised if some celebrities will indeed be elected full-time which would only serve their brand and definitely not the people. Right now Trump is only a one-off but come 2060 this could be a new norm. People don't trust lifelong politicians anymore and I don't see this changing anytime soon. The only way the likes of West or other celebs rising to power is stopped is for the party politics to repeal them with all their might and finances. Lobbyists and financial backers believe they can control any politician. They can't control Trump and they wouldn't be able to control West or any other rapper/actor who might fancy running in the future.
