Black magic, blood magic, stop it before I laugh so hard I piss my pants

Yeah, excellent bit of PR. I mean, of course you can't be ambassador in a finalist country and don't pretend to cheer for them

No Tour de France stages anywhere near it.

Participating Countries (Partial): Albania Australia Austria - Vincent Bueno Azerbaijan Belarus Belgium - Hooverphonic Bulgaria - Victoria Georgieva Croatia Cyprus - Sandro Nicholas Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France - Tom Leeb Georgia - Tornike Kipiani Germany Greece Iceland Ireland Israel Italy Latvia Lithuania Malta Moldova Netherlands - Jeangu Macrooy North Macedonia Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia San Marino Serbia Slovenia Spain - Blas Cantó Sweden Switzerland Ukraine United Kingdom

So, time trial today. In Pau. Goddamn Pau. Unavoidable Pau. Always Pau. Pau, Pau, Pau, does ASO know nothing else than the hellhole they call Pau? Marco Pantani: Rumours have it Tom Dumoulin faked his knee injury so he wouldn't have to go to Pau. The guy always writing huge (and really good!) previews every day on a Dutch forum, detailing every single meter of the stage with touristic info and road details, isn't happy Also an explanation on why Miguel Angel Lopez got so angry in the Giro and why he never rides the Tour: And to make an end to this once and for all: "To Pau!"

Thanks, now I can't sleep.

I have no idea, about Jakob Piil I just know he was in CSC because that was the only team you could play with in the demo version of Pro Cycling Manager 200x

And I'm saying "every single person is valuable" is a huge exaggeration. The news is filled with people who are not much more than a waste of oxygen.

Even the stage where a big group finished like 20 minutes in front of the peloton? I remember because Bram de Groot was in it, might be one of my earlier memories of the Tour Early 2000's mostly, from when I was 10 or so

Ugh, Melania looks even more fake than Trump's hair.

Maybe not in the US, but it's understandable to some degree here. Not saying 'good', but 'understandable to some degree'. For example, when town A barely has any significant problem, a center for refugees is put there, and within months people are intimidated, robberies rise and people feel like they'd better keep their kids inside, there is some sort of a problem. Especially when that happens in quite a lot of places like town A. The problem is, when you say that, there's always gonna be people who call you racist, which is utter bullshit.

Ah yeah, the good old days of Bjarne Riis (I was 5 so didn't really watch). Where has the time gone where cyclists got up in the middle of the night to excersise, so they could avoid their blood from clotting due to excessive and utterly extreme EPO use

I didn't even know the ranking had something to do with it But that makes sense I guess. There are probably at least 25 cyclists at the moment of whom I'd believe it if you say he's number one, I have no idea

Awesome result from a young Ethiopian in one of the main U23 stage races. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/giro-ciclistico-della-valle-d-aosta-mont-blanc/2019/stage-2

One of the good things about cycling: nobody gives two fucks about the ranking Like, it's pretty much never even mentioned, at all

Apparently he has gotten into a bit of a fight with team management..

I think this fall falls under "either getting sick or falling" as I mentioned

Of course it's not over, but I think everyone knows very well the only way for him to not win the green jersey is if he either gets sick or falls or something like that (which of course I hope won't happen). Based on his skills, the green jersey format is absolutely perfect for him and him alone and he is untouchable

He's chasing a record? Didn't know, although it's obvious which one #therecordispracticallysecure

"A sprint of dying swans", is what a sprint between pure non-sprinters is usually called here

Wiggins! Oh wait.

Meh, €10 entry. That's too much for me to probably watch one match. Too bad, I saw and heard Igor Sijsling had just started, that would have been nice.

They played ice hockey. The end

Always against the Italians in every sport
