No planned live streams on YouTube by the way Won't it be shown anywhere?

IFSC: and is the second woman in Sport Climbing history to break the 7-second barrier! Huh?

Perfect use of the circumstances by Vlhova, well done Although this is the one time I'm also going to be happy with a Shiffrin win after her personal tragedy of last season.

I would bet some money that there will be at least one slalom where it won't be Shiffrin - Vlhova or Vlhova - Shiffrin in the top-2

Excellent second run for Mair, 16th to at least 9th.

Well that is a little ungrateful since I generally cheer for the likes of Popovic

Jelinkova with her eternal 31st-40th place

Raul Fernandez moves up to Moto2 with Ajo next year

That is an excellent run for Liensberger.

Curse you, Petra! Or actually not

Fun bit of analysis with a top-10 of 2020's best sprinters. https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/ranking-the-top-10-male-sprinters-of-2020/ The top-4 is quite clearly miles above the rest, as we could see the whole season basically, with Bennett in first...although interestingly, he loses in all the head-to-heads against the other three of the big four

I have a feeling my secret pick for Shiffrin in the Predictor might end up pretty well!

Not even on TV here because Eurosport is showing some lame crap about Tiger Woods Luckily they invented the wonder of wonders that is the Eurosport Player

Jamanka wins it, Beierl keeps the distance the same in run two, that's promising for the season (I know there's German tracks to go though ). Kalicki in third. Since Dutch women in bobsled are long gone, we're claiming Odasanya's second place (she's born in the Netherlands and apparently still spends a lot of time here, unless the boyfriend mentioned in an article isn't her boyfriend anymore)

And that's a crash for Martina Fontanive as well, third after run one

Ireland is now a member of the FIL

The season has gotten underway Mariama Jamanka and Vanessa Mark lead the way after the first run, closely followed by Katrin Beierl and Jennifer Odasanya. Sadly my favourite Laura Nolte crashed in the first run, she was well on her way to at least attack Jamanka's time Run two coming up!

This is more than excellent news, Tessie Savelkouls has been on the tatami yesterday for the first time since her horror leg injury in February (shortly after which doctors gave her a 1% chance to simply walk normally again!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHz7ownl8MB/

Meanwhile in Brazil, the national rollerski circuit is coming to a close these days, with today the first of five races in six days - a 5 and 10 kilometer freestyle mass start. The women's win went to - who else - @brunamoura, who fought off Mika Picin basically the entire race. Mika accelerated, Bruna accelerated and on it went until the final climb was done and it was a dowhill followed by a flat with strong wind in the back, where Mika couldn't close the gap anymore. Third place for Duda Ribera. https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0SnBwHUR9/ The men's win went to Victor Santos, who will most likely be Brazil's male representative in the 2022 Olympics. In a final sprint, he beat Yuri Rocha and Chilean Yona Fernandez, also known as @Jesús. Interesting fifth place for one Wilbert Rodrigues, doesn't happen often that I've never heard of a top-5 finisher in these races.

I put new batteries in my remote if the batteries get low (which I don't think has happened to my current remote for years now that I think of it)

Last season's World Cup winner Sarah Höfflin and 5th place Giulia Tanno didn't even come close to qualifying for the slopestyle final in Stubai. http://medias3.fis-ski.com/pdf/2021/FS/8063/2021FS8063RLQ.pdf

I must say I'm curious what he'll do next to Nakagami. I was sceptical of him early in the season, but he has definitely had moments that showed he's got real talent. Of course not compared like his brother yet and probably not on Repsol Honda level yet, but I do think he can get there eventually.

2021 is going to look so different Miller and Bagnaia moving 'up' to Ducati's factory team, Petrucci moving to KTM, Dovizioso gone. Zarco and debutant Jorge Martin replacing the first two at the third Ducati team with Enea Bastianini and Luca Marini replacing them, meaning all six Ducati bikes will have a different rider next year. Rossi moving up to Petronas and Quartararo moving down to the Yamaha factory team (yeah, I know officially it's a move up, but quite clearly it isn't really). Oliveira moving up to KTM's factory team to replace Pol Espargaro, who moves to Repsol Honda to replace Alex Marquez, who will move to LCR Honda to replace Cal Crutchlow, who will move to Yamaha's test bike to replace Lorenzo. Easily the biggest chain of replacements Then there's Marc Marquez most likely coming back and an Aprilia seat still open for whoever wants to ride around in the back most of the time. That's a grand total of 13 (not counting MM) out of 22 bikes that will have a different rider next year, damn.

Again without geoblock, oh my Thanks!

Can the Bruksvallarna races be seen anywhere? If so, I'll avoid the results until I've seen it. If not, I'll just look at the results
