    All teams now named. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/giro-d-italia/2022/startlist/startlist

    Nacer Bouhani is not in the 4 Days of Dunkirk this year, so Sam Welsford steps up and challenges his crown as the biggest idiot in World sprinting, gets relegated & probably should have a time penalty that would take him back several years.

    Certainly this is the way most decisions are made in politics, business, universities etc nowadays. Small cabal decides it wants to change something. Pretends there is a crisis. Launches a “period of discussion.” No conclusions are reached because everyone disagrees with each other Small cabal goes ahead & does what it always wanted to do.

    Quick Step team named. Includes Mark Cavendish, which makes him unlikely for the Tour, barring accidents. Bike Exchange also named: Simon Yates will lead, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/61293957

    Modern Pentathletes mutiny against the moronic leadership of MP, appeal to Thomas Bach (Gold Medal, Fencing, Montreal 1976) & the rest of the IOC, who never won a gold medal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/modern-pentathlon/61296363

    Sam Bennett gets his big comeback win in the Eschborn-Frankfurt up against a respectable selection of the big sprint names.

    Not quite sure how Chris Froome has the nerve to take that Israeli billionaire’s money after his display of utter crapness in the Tour de Romandie today. If the owner wants a marquee name for his team he might as well sign Indurain or Hinault, their careers couldn’t be more over.

    Take it 9-7. Swiss battled hard, but couldn’t overcome the disaster of giving up a 4 in the very first end. So a great season for Eve Muirhead, winning the Europeans, Olympics & now the World Mixed. Let’s hope it encourages her to keep going to Cortina at least.

    Win the second semi after an exciting comeback, forcing an extra end with a 3 in the eighth.

    Strange thing about Britain: if he does his time, keeps quiet & comes out he will be an absolute national hero for us. We love people who survive hardship with a smile.

    Team Ineos go with Carapaz as their candidate. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/61264593

    If you’re a fan of Boris Becket & his commentary, he’ll probably be back… (counting on fingers & allowing for parole)…by Aussie Open 2024. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10767757/Boris-Becker-sentencing-Tennis-star-jailed-two-years-bankruptcy-offences.html

    Speedway Grand Prix starts tomorrow in Croatia. It’ll be a bit of a sad occasion - long-time international feed commentator Nigel Pearson died suddenly just a couple of week ago. Think TV coverage is now Eurosport Europe-wide, maybe some exceptions. Calendar is pretty much back to normal for the first time post COVID - except for a cancelled trip to , don’t know if they’ve scheduled a make-up race. https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/calendar/

    I remember they were ecstatic to get the overall in the Algarve a couple of years back. Kind of similar thing in Britain, most of our dopers are rugby players & boxers who are only just holding down pro careers. Well, nightclub security guys also. It’s UCI rules, once teams are at their level they are all guaranteed twice-what-you-make-at-Lidl scale minimum wage, plus bonuses etc.

    8 3 in the first semi! Second Semi is v coming up at 19:30 Swiss time (which is never accurate, of course )

    Semis and medal games are live on the Olympic Channel globally, as far as I can see. https://olympics.com/en/sport-events/2022-wcf-curling-world-mixed-doubles-championships-geneva/?slug=curling-semi-final-1-world-mixed-doubles-championship-geneva

    is the home of both Comedy & Tragedy, so appropriately we had both, or almost, in the first stage of the Tour of Greece. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-10762161/Cyclist-Eduard-Prades-crashes-finish-line-wrongly-celebrates-Tour-Hellas-stage-win.html

    Amy Pieters regains consciousness four months after her crash, but things are still.....not good. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/61263854

    Bench clearing brawl in Mets v Cardinals. Seriously impressive effort from one of the Cards pitchers, climbed a wall & must have sprinted 200m from the bullpen way over past outfield to get involved.
  20. Grassmarket
    Some seriously impressive skills here. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10759649/Epic-moment-Cincinnati-Reds-fan-catches-fly-ball-holds-bottle-feeds-newborn.html

    Also, the officials control the clock. Only they can signal a wind or technical delay, not the coach or the jumper.
  22. Grassmarket
    also qualify from the Arctic Division.
  23. Grassmarket
    Just the usual strikes & rioting then.

    Rainbow jersey wearer Julian Alaphillipe badly injured in the Liege-Bastogne-Liege yesterday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/61211810

    Strange thing is that Le Pen is winning big in all the majority-black French territories in the Antilles.
