Scary stuff...

Dude, request some UN food aid..

With Brand winning the sprint for 9th with one hand in the air while the rest was trying everything to beat her Trololol.gif

You're welcome. Tomorrow a world title for Kwiatkowski, Poels, Geoghegan Hart, Stannard, Henao, Henao or Kiriyenka to top it off

Nope, Marsal won by 3:24 in 1990, but a year earlier she lost to Longo by 4:05 Second biggest margin ever.

Yes because no country dominates for example men's Grand Tours

Near-perfect generation (Zijland-Van Moorsel was great, Vos was great, but they didn't have a team with 5-6 women all capable of winning a medal), women's cycling being more of a 'thing' than in other countries (not very big, but still), more available money, very poor international strength in women's cycling, and so on. I think it's mostly a mix of Dutch women's cycling being good and international women's cycling being painfully weak

Including Konrad or Schachmann or Hermans or Carthy or Reichenbach or Kreuziger or Haig or Wellens, but not including the main favourite like Sagan, hilarious indeed

Danish website Feltet is very much known for having kinda ridiculous previews for races in which they name half the peloton as favourites, just so they can barely be wrong, but for tomorrow they've really done it again ***** Adam Yates **** Julian Alaphilippe, Alejandro Valverde *** Miguel Angel Lopez, Thibaut Pinot, Primoz Roglic, Wout Poels, Simon Yates ** Dan Martin, Romain Bardet, Tom Dumoulin, Nairo Quintana, Vincenzo Nibali, Michael Woods, Enric Mas, Rigoberto Uran, Ilnur Zakarin, Rafal Majka, * Wilco Kelderman, Gianni Moscon, Jakob Fuglsang, Domenico Pozzovivo, Steven Kruijswijk, Richard Carapaz, Bauke Mollema, Tim Wellens, Jack Haig, Michal Kwiatkowski, Roman Kreuziger, David De La Cruz, Sebastien Reichenbach, George Bennett, Patrick Konrad, Ion Izagirre, Hugh Carthy, Emanuel Buchmann, Bob Jungels, Ben Hermans, Maximilan Schachmann

Ah yeah. But no, "every women's race needs to be live on major channels because it's so exciting!".

15? This was decided the moment Spratt had to let go of Van der Breggen's wheel on that climb with like 30+km to go But yeah, this makes very clear that women's cycling still has a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go.

Oh wait, 3:24 minutes between gold and silver in 1990

My laptop battery is empty and I don't feel like walking upstairs so I can't look further back now

And the last time it got close to two minutes was in 1991

The last time the difference between 1st and 2nd was bigger than a minute was in 2000.

I think she lapped everyone.

That sounds plausible, the whole Dutch team comes across like a major bitch fight ring.

Maybe that's for when women's World Cup competitions start bringing in more money No idea, but I mean, this money needs to be paid out of something?

Finally, rule changes that don't seem to be that bad

I must say, I love competitions with an official YouTube channel where they place good, spoiler-free highlights shortly after the match The Grand Final used to be live on one of the Dutch paid sports channels, but apparently this year that's not the case anymore, so I was hoping for a good highlight video without any result in the title NFL has the same thing, much better than the highly annoying NHL where the highlights videos have names like "Sharks beat Bruins" instead of simply "Sharks - Bruins highlights".

Wow, what a Grand Final

I'm still picky with what I eat My situation was mostly like this: - Eat vegetables but also quite some unhealthy things, and when we were having stuff like pasta or rice for dinner, I ate two plates full - No excersise whatsoever Since early last year I went from no excersise to 6-7 hours per week and even though I'm still eating basically the same as I did, the excersise alone worked in losing nearly 20kg

There is just too much WTA in this post
