Thank you, now I've got Higher than Mars stuck in my head AGAIN.

Bruna plays the guitar, although that's not really an orchestra kind of instrument

A Dominican Dominican Republican?

Interesting We talked about basically every detail of the race, but I haven't heard a word about this...time to send some messages and wake someone up, we want explanations

No way he can do that I do think he'll keep the lead, but wouldn't be entirely surprised if he 'breaks' on the monstrous Angliru tomorrow, like he did on the final climb yesterday (or the day before?).

That was one show of power by the way. Booooooooring race, but the last km was alright

Slovakia has six riders?

That makes no sense, it was most likely just a huge UFO and Antarctic penguins.

And Jose is still on it's way to St Maarten and co, hopefully it makes a turn in the last moment.. (although some forecasts say it will make a very strange 360 degree loop north of those islands and then turn around to Florida)

They should try telemark skiing

Someone had a fun night

Magnitude 8.1 earthquake has hit just south of Mexico, the strongest earthquake since the September 2015 8.0 quake near Chile. Water is retreating at the beaches, that's not good. As Gandalf would say: "Run, you fools"

To think the Turks and Caicos Islands are watching all this devastation on Barbuda, Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, Saint-Barthelemy etc, knowing it's coming their way and there's absolutely nothing they can do to stop it..

275 FIS points for Samir Azzimani of Morocco today, bringing the average of his best five results (starting with last season) to 298 https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/results.html?sector=CC&raceid=29697

Nazi UFO's from the moon, more likely.

Tortola, the main island of the British Virgin Islands, is getting absolutely hammered now.

I would guess most airplanes flew away

And it has already done some major damage on Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, Barbuda, Saint-Barthélemy and other places in that vicinity. Florida is 'lucky', they'll get a bit of a weakened version because Irma has been hitting some land already, but those first islands really got it at full force

7km to go, meaning the Alto de Los Machucos has started....that's a seriously crazy climb. Arguably of the hardest climbs ever in any grand tour.

Apparently today was a bad case of having a shit day in terms of technique, which just did not work, at all. Too bad, but Sunday in the sprint the technique was almost better than ever, so it's nothing too worrying, just a bad day like every athlete sometimes has a bad day.

Right. 37 and finally making her Olympic debut then.

Didn't she already do that with 220, 213 and 253 points last season?

Don't know yet what happened (they're not back to their rooms yet, so no WiFi for now), but damn...
