Those photographers standing on the parapet are real ghouls! Seems Evenpoel is OK , according to English-language ES.

Looks really bad, he fell off a bridge.

Evenpoel in what looks like a very bad crash!

Young rider Leonard Kämna takes the win in a crash-affected Dauphiné today, after getting into the day’s breakaway & then attacking on the final climb up to Megève airport. Roglič was in the crash earlier, but safely home now.

Not the first time he has had trouble with the Norwegian traffic police....

Should also have mentioned the Aussie Ron Clarke, who was famous for completely the opposite. He broke many World Records during the 60s - 17 according to Wikipedia - but never won a major Gold.

Mellow Yellow heading for a comfortable win in the quarters - then suddenly lost three team members through the same domino gap! Just sums up a terrible campaign.

Strange to see that Zátopek only had it once. Guess he was a racer more than a time triallist.

Well even in a normal year that would have been a great meet, but in 2020....

And what a women’s 1k! NRs all the way down!

Unbelievable! Obviously the influence of the green lights which showed him where he was at every moment. And massive respect to the lapped runner who got out of the way - so few lapped runners do that anymore!

Well done both of them, must have had to do a Q14 somewhere. Incidentally, everyone is preparing in the infield which keeps the meet fast, but kills off the Jav, Discus & Hammer. Let’s hope no-one gets ideas....

And an epic 1500m!

Yeah , what would a DL meet be without the legendary red bikini pants of ?

Utterly great, there is a WR there! Usually the last 80m of a 400h is a struggle for survival, but he was cruising.

No poles, seemingly.

Ooooh, look, that’s my yacht! The big white one in the middle. ha ha, 5000 capacity, so they all sit together! Great race to start with!

Just catching up. High Jump is one of those events that separates the connoisseur from the casual fan, like the Individual in Biathlon. Slow to start, but builds to a nailbiting finish. Mixed feelings tonight - good to see MY get Third, but gutted for Yellah losing his MO record. The sport must progress but.... Still last!

Formolo hangs on for a very brave solo win, was out on his own a long way! Roglič gets a few scraps.

There was hail late on yesterday, after the main riders had finished their climb. Check out what it was like for the peleton. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-8625821/Cyclist-Tim-Declercq-shows-bruises-caught-hailstorm.html#comments Straight fight now between Formolo on his solo break & J-V on the chase. 10k to go. My prediction? Roglič to jump off the pack with 500m to go to win by 10 secs & take the bonus. Going out on a limb, I know.

Off again in the Dauphiné - Davide Formolo off on a long solo run, Arkea are temporarily in charge of the chasing duties. On the Madeleine at the moment, so classic ground. Arkea were only left in charge whilst the big boys were having their lunch, so now. (checks calendar) as per Agreement 2020-478/1 Section 1 Paragraph 3, Jumbo-Visma have taken back over.

Doh! Almost started a war there.

I’m afraid your answer just shows how corrupt modern politics is. She got her start in politics by sleeping with her boss who appointed her to two jobs with extremely high pay & no work, for which she had no other qualifications. Since both these jobs involved granting permission for businesses to do things, she naturally attracted even more bribe money & political support from the bribe-payers.

Can’t be easy to get much training done in the Vatican. ”Your next check-point is over by the Botticellis!”
