Here we have the man - ESC's OlympicIRL.

Because it is so different than that nowadays?

Ok... When will I be getting my backpack and baseball cap then? Oh, and where is the Platinum Club membership? . . . Some backstory. As you may (or probably not) know, the new season of Event Rider Masters started last weekend. This season however brings something new - ERM fan league, which I immediately joined, because why not? I was scoring dressage tests, building some stacks... And eventually ended up on top of the league leaderboard with 4334 points. Once again Croatia was not available in the nations list, so I just picked the closest nation alphabetically (Costa Rica). Only after the competition started I actually found out that some prizes are being handed to top players. As the winner of the Chatsworth stage, I should be getting a backpack and a signed baseball cap. However, I have not heard anything from them just yet... Hope it's not all some practical joke. After all, ERM commentators regularly mentioned this fan league, and the prizes. Moreover, they even put my name on screen during the second competition day... Even so, I'm becoming slightly sceptical about all this. In any case, ERM league promises a bit more than this. Apparently, the season winner of the fan league will be getting an all-expanses paid trip to Stuttgart German Masters in November... Who knew.... Maybe it DOES pay off to be so into a sport that nobody cares about.

And interestingly he chooses to compete for the nation that is non-existent in top level golf.

Oh, right, skateboarders and breakdancers probably don't know the doping controls existed.

What? I used to follow F1 a lot (until 2010). But anyway, I grew to love Zandvoort while watching some TV series about 70s seaons of F1.

Dumoulin He can re-route to TdF now...

Even I can get about this.

Isabelly da Silva

Brazil has 1+1, and is actually not far away from having 2+2...

I like graphics from Tour of California.

And if you add the certain Remco Evenepoel to that, you can already see a pattern developing.

Such informative tweet. Well done.

They took my advice.

Still no detailed entries. All I can gather is that Bao Yingfeng (Teseo) and Bianba Ciren (Sultan de la Motte or Tropic d'Heauville) will be on the Chinese team.

Well, toughen up and learn how to ride a bike.

Interesting. We missed out on Worlds by a single place and still not among favorites.

Italy is making this look like women's championships.

Central European League, Stage 3 (Kiev, Ukraine) Inna Logutenkova (Fleraro) - 77.680% Anastasiya Dudkova (Hofman) - 70.890% Veronika Yarashevich (Bolivar) - 68.025% Full results... Central European League, Stage 4 (Mariakalnok, Hungary) Sascha Schulz (Dragao) - 75.440% Regina Isachkina (Sun of May Life) - 74.650% Morgan Barbancon Mestre (Bolero) - 74.205% Full results... Luxembourg.

Ok then. Since when are 12 minute time trials won by 20 seconds?

Nope. Such races really are 4 laps + 9.344 meters long.

Since when are prologues being won by 20 seconds?

If Sho is 15 levels below this, then I guess Renshaw who was 4 seconds faster is some 14 levels below this.

What about having the opposite contest? Where you hope to predict the last place finishers.
