Yeah. Thanks to Rolf Sørensen for reminding Danish viewers that he crashed only a few hundred meters from where Casartelli died.

Ouch, Gilbert!

Is this the final stage for Demare? Almost 18 minutes before he is at the mountains.

Massive breakaway!

It was my reason, but seeing that it won't be until november, I agree that we might as well start now. I could do it within the next couple of days but don't mind if you or anyone else do so.

Martin Toft Madsen is next in line to go for the hour record. He set a new Danish record in january at 52,324km but has been working towards the world record. He states that just his improvements in the aerodynamics are enough for about a km. Other than that he should be in better shape than in january as well as riding in thinner air on a fast track in Mexico. I must say that I doubt that he'll make it, but he may very well end up as no. 2 on the rankings and could end up withing a km of Wiggins. You can follow the last days up to the attempt, including a lot of work, cleaning the velodrome that is quite dusty at the moment on his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Tofthour/

Just read that (hadn't really caught that as it was reported while I was on camp). Then I agree that it would be fine to get going.

Personally I wanted to wait til we at least know if boxing is in or out.

Don't know how serious it was with Zibrandtsen as she has been selected as first reserve with Rikke Svane as second.

You're right. I was too quick. Social democracy and democratic socialism are indeed two different ideologies where democratic socialism is more left wing and often pretty anti-capitalist. Several of the supporters in other countries (like Bernie Sanders) mention us as democratic socialists, even though the parties that are identified as democratic socialists (in Finland's case Vasemmistoliitto) are mainly very secondary parties who are rarely in government.

I do enjoy watching pretty much all sports (synchronized swimming, dressage, rhythmic gymnastics, baseball and softball aren't really my cup of tea but other than that), but most "real fans" still have to prioritize. We simply don't have time to follow every sport as closely (If you do, you must have found some extra hours in the day).

And it ended up with Cathrine Dufour (Atterupgaards Cassidy), Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack), Anders Dahl (Selten HW) and Betina Jæger Jensen (Mane Stream Belstaff)

I've heard tons of riders telling about other riders peeing up against the wind. Think most riders have tried that

Yup. 43 fires is the latest number. 6 countries are helping with helicopters and firemen.

Tough one. Ended up with road cycling, mountain bike, athletics, triathlon and handball. Badminton, track cycling and football are the main competitors with rowing, canoe sprint, swimming, sailing and fencing a bit after.

The Nordic model is rather social democratic...

Luckily we've only had a few days above 30 and right now it looks like a good amount of rain in Aarhus sunday, but we're still beating most records.

I've already asked a friend to send some rain from Massachusetts. Sadly it hasn't arrived here in Denmark. All over the country it's forbidden to light fire. That had never happened before this year and now it has been so for about a month (some areas had a few rainy days giving some few days where it was allowed, but no longer)

Very happy for Molinari. He has been so close. Italy is thereby the 19th country to win a major (not counting Jersey). Pretty happy about Olesen's 12th place as well. His shape is great and if he keeps it up, he may even have a small chance to make it into team Europe for the Ryder Cup

Just wanted to make sure that you knew, even though I know it's sad for you

Bad news for @heywoodu as his favourite rider, Gianni Moscon has been disqualified after punching Elie Gesbert

He had to try something on the climb when it was clear that Sagan wouldn't be there for the sprint.

Cort climbing along Mollema and Pozzovivo really shows one of the magical things about the Grand Tours!

Well. I was a bit too quick. I do of course mean for a stage
