    Chavito seems to be struggling a bit..

    Absolute mayhem since it started raining a little while ago Red flag now, logically. Huge hailstorm followed and this is how it's looking now:

    The last climb, probably

    I'm doubting he is strong enough to attack again, but yeah, this is quite painful Don't forget though that it's not a matter of just saying "Ah alright, let me get in this break away" and done...it's not that easy By the way, I know Nibali/Chaves/Valverde etc didn't attack yet, but so far Kruijswijk is looking surprisingly strong.

    Horrible crash in the Tour of Belgium with, again, two motorcycles. Apparently they were riding on a path to the side of the road, which suddenly ended, resulting in them suddenly being in the mud. Because of that they lost the control of their motorbikes and "flew" into the peloton. Reports are saying around 20 riders were hit and 11 are transferred to a hospital. Stig Broeckx (BEL, Lotto-Soudal) is apparently the worst hit rider: some are saying he has been resuscitated and moved to the Aachen hospital by trauma helicopter.

    There were doubts whether or not there would be a Holland Heineken House again this year, but luckily Heineken came out pretty quickly saying something like "Of course there will be!" It's always cool to see the reports of the medal celebration there, because athletes are celebrated better than at the official medal ceremonies

    You gotta stay positive in these cases

    To better doping tests. Still more to come probably though, seeing as they're not done retesting.

    Guess we'll have to find a way in

    Well, congratulations lucky Nibali. Hopefully at least Chaves can keep his lead tomorrow. What an absolute nightmare day it was.
  12. heywoodu
    But if he wanted someone in the breakaway at the time he crashed, someone should have been in good enough shape to even get to that point and I don't think Lotto has anyone who could have done that Apart from that, Lotto's team leaders are usually not exactly geniuses when it comes to strategy, so yeah. "We should prepare ourselves well for these final stages so we can be prepared for every scenario, because we have to be prepared for that so we have to prepare ourselves for all situations", are the smart words of a couple of days ago.

    Apparently the GPS is somewhat right....that's a miracle
  14. heywoodu
    GPS says the difference is 30 seconds, but we know how reliable the Giro d'Italia GPS usually is...
  15. heywoodu
    I'm not sure it's a mistake, I'm mostly thinking it's just a matter of not being good enough. Only Battaglin might be in good enough shape to do so, but he is the only one who can help Kruijswijk on the climbs so he can't get in a breakaway. Don't forget Lotto is basically just a quite mediocre team

    Luckily it was only in snow, which shouldn't be a really huge problem.. Wow, horrible crash for Zakarin...
  17. heywoodu
    Instead of saying "OMG it's a Western conspiracy!!" as people like Vitaly Mutko and Yelena Isinbayeva love to say, why not come with actual arguments?
  18. heywoodu
    What a finish today Moser had such horrible tactics
  19. heywoodu
    Those 17 are all members of the current team, including Olympic champions of 2008 (who are apparently still active)?
  20. heywoodu
    He means you are our favourite shooter and we'll cheer for you in the upcoming competitions now
  21. heywoodu
    And there are still 14 countries above Moldova... we keep hoping.
  22. heywoodu
    Well you can at least remove the Netherlands, because we won't use any of the reallocation places
  23. heywoodu
    I mean, you're saying (just like others) that reallocation will be based on the number of MQS's a nation has. Therefore wouldn't it be useful for us to know these numbers? We know now Moldova has 4, but how about the other unqualified nations?
  24. heywoodu
    At least there's one good thing: if you keep posting here on Totallympics I think you have a whole group of new fans
  25. heywoodu
    I'm guessing there's no list of unqualified nations sorted by the number of MQS?
