How coincidental is that both hosted music contests in a matter of two weeks.

Btw, this library is exactly how TISC Stats home looks like.

The phone joke. How original!

Did they steal Germany's sense of humour? 

It's not too bad, but nothing ear-catching either.

TAISC had better quality. 

Skeleton = random retirements + random comebacks.

Who on earth thought this was a good idea for a mass sprint stage (tomorrow)? 
 
 
I guess someone thought it'd be fun to see a bunch fall at 60km/h because this has all potential for disaster.

Belgians are mad and jealous  
 
 
 
Translated: "Now that they have a lack of football heroes, half the Dutch are walking around with a huge Tom Dumoulin erection."  

Ahh ok. I knew something must have changed . But yes great score for Jonty and Art! Proud to own a tiny bit of this success story
 

Jonty & Art are currently 2nd at Badminton with 24.1
 
Now hopefully they'll find their cross-country form tomorrow.

in Twitter there is rumor that Froome crashed in training
 
the 1,4 million is gone

what the hell ! How could this happen in the middle of an international competition ？
 
this is great if they want to have peace but can't they just start from somewhere else ? and not with this stupid unified team idea in sports competition ? they can have their unified team when they merge their countries into ONE. not now. I also heard they want to have a unified team for the Asian Games later this year !

I am very grateful about "Men's road cycling" part. Otherwise I always end up mixing this with Women's Hot Air Balloon Giro d'Italia.

I won't complain about the entirely unneccesary use of "Men's Road Cycling", but can a mod at least take 'UCI' out? We don't need the federations name in every thread  
 
 
 

Happy belated birthday @Belle and @dcro

With the Italian win and @dezbee2008 hosting the upcoming TISC, it's nice to see the legendary TISC participants taking over the reigns as hosts, following so many prior hosts that have been here from the very first contest. It makes you wonder who could be the next best possible candidate and who would want it the most after The US and Italy are done I think a Croatian win would be a very popular affair, the logo would be stats

I've just finished reviewing all the votes.
Thanks to everyone who voted for the Italian song.
congratulations Norway for 2nd place and Usa for 3rdplace
And of course congratulations to Vinipereira for the excellent work done
