Here we are well on the way to break 1976's record for most dry year ever. Still some weeks to go to actually break it, but we're now slowly getting above the line needed to break that record. When I look at the next two weeks, there's exactly one day with rain....like 1mm The good thing is that second half is now showing maximum temperatures which are below 30 degrees every day, I hadn't noticed that! Yesterday that was all showing 31-33 degrees, every single day, this looks a bit more positive

Yep, always the first thing I try when I'm in another country is if the water seems drinkable So far everywhere in Europe I've been it was no problem (although in Barcelona it had kind of a disgusting chorine-like taste ), in Brazil it wasn't a great idea. I guess mostly athletes from less rich countries were positively surprised, at least for Europeans it must have been rather normal

Stunned as in, positively surprised?

I was just gonna ask if anyone is interested in exchanging weather I am not a fan of days when 30 degrees is reached at 10am That time of year when you wish you were someone from a tropical country who is likely to be more used to this weather

Isn't that made from iron?

So there's this whole problem about woods and forests being cut down and then what? Turns out the 'loneliest person on earth' is out there bringing down trees I demand protests against him!

Well yeah, it's like a cyclist who moves to Astana or Quick-Step or something, it makes you fly

Wait, I forgot something: apart from his racism allegations, hanging on to the car at world champs and now trying to hit Gesbert (one kilometer or something after the start ) he also got in trouble for allegedly making Reichenbach fall on purpose

Ha, you guys are all way too late

Bye bye Moscon After the racism allegations and later hanging on to the car at the world championships ('doing a Nibali'), this time he is thrown out of the Tour de France for making a 'hitting move' towards Elie Gesbert.

Elena Vallortigara What a competition! Not only jumping 2.00 for the first time in her life, but following it up with 2.02m!

Schippers After that magic move from heptathlon to pure sprinting, she changed to American coach Rana Reider early last year and since then she seems to be going backwards. Literally, almost. Earlier this year she was out of breath.....in the 100 meters (whereas usually the 200m, specifically the last part, is her strength). Now in Londen in the last 30 meters she lost like 5 places. But no, not a single word about 'Maybe, juuuust maybe working with Reider is not going fantastic', because then she gets angry

Having good legs and trying an attack?

As expected Izagirre lost his cool.

Cort Nielsen in perfect pole position to win the stage, basically only a screw-up can cost him the win.

That's gonna be an easy win for Mourão: Goulão suffered a mechanical issue right at the start of the first full lap, had to walk/run for several minutes and then had an awfully slow bike exchange, so that's over within 10 minutes.

Small flashbacks to Lieuwe Westra in Paris-Nice 2012 (Mende)

Such a shame that someone who is being accused (by several people, from different teams and nationalities) of hanging onto cars on basically every mountain might finish outside the time limit.

4th category climb and Demare is already 2,5 minutes behind the rest

Someity sounds like they couldn't find a name and came up with sort of a Japanised version of 'Something'

I have just discovered the exists, thanks. I saw your post and Gianlu's post above you and thought the was broken or something

Yeah cute little variations of this sport, like on ice or sand or glowing coal, are also fun to watch while the real deal is having a break

It surely helps most top XC/biathlon athletes don't compete in it But still, a win is a win isn't it?

I'm a little tired of all the 'she is the greatest hero ever who keeps writing history' stuff I am definitely eternally grateful for her managing to get my girlfriend the heart surgery that made her be able to return to being an athlete years ago, don't get me wrong
