Too bad the Dutch commentator talked through the entire climb as if it were a funeral
Wasn't able to watch Belgian TV today, that would have been better.
End of a rather mediocre era by now. Audi winning year after year after year after year after year and now Toyota basically being as dominant, meh. Hopefully the new top class will help.
The Tour of Luxembourg has already been one hell of an organizational disappointment, but after the drama of the first two stages, today they managed to make it even worse. There was a freaking truck driving on the course
With a little note for Carapaz: don't go too slow on that flat part, there's still a thing called a time limit
Personally I think Pogacar will beat him even while having to have a full time trial, simply because he's a stronger climber. I really hope he can surprise and make the yellow jersey fight interesting, but normally Roglic shouldn't have that much of a problem in holding him off.
I feel a little sorry for Biesiekirski. He's being thrown into Moto2 at the very worst team with the very worst bike where they desperately try to avoid kicking out Bo Bendsneyder (much as it pains me to say, he is just not showing any promise anymore), today he was over 5 and over 4 seconds behind the fastest time in the training sessions - some context: the second-to-last rider was within 2 seconds.
I hope he can improve on the sick/injured Raffin's poor performances and I really hope riding in these poor conditions won't lower his chances for a better future. Go Piotr
Which is too bad. I asked him to come take a look here again at the FIS races in Brazil (where he absolutely dominated and at the end gave me his awesome Chilean army sports club t-shirt ), but yeah, I haven't seen him here anymore.
Discussions have been going on, and there is one major candidate to host the event. I don't think it will change, I just have to check hotel availability in the cities and (mostly) towns around.
Unbelievable, he's done exactly this before, he is a pretty good time trialist and when he goes, nobody reacts Every single one in that group is a moron
Well apart from Trentin, who attacked shortly before that and so had a reasonable excuse.
