Only one way this disastrous Tour of Luxembourg could end (or well, not 'end' yet ).

You mean that one punch Dumoulin did in the first real mountains? That was not their decision at all

Yes, I was hearing the top-5 and Carapaz wasn't in it (with Pogacar clearly the fastest).

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.

Carapaz wasn't in the top-5 I'm hearing now.

Too bad the climbing times had no graphics, that sucks. Carapaz was alright, but Pogacar seemed alien. Question is how many were in front of Carapaz.

There isn't really a rivalry in cycling I meant nobody really cares about today's stage win

This is by far one of the most epic rides I've ever witnessed, Pogaboss

Today's consolation prize

Botched exchange for Roglic.

Van Aert 39 seconds behind Cavagna at intermediate 1, Belgium in a major crisis

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.

What a ride by Cavagna, even utterly destroying Kasper Asgreen. Tony Martin at 5 minutes flat, lol.

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

Is there any list of things that qualify for that? Because the three examples sound....not very interesting (to me, surely to some people it does)

That first one with the Dukla car is cool

Trying to find a suitable location for Slovakia isn't easy..

Yeah that's the point buddy

Like Amsterdam is the only place with coffee shops

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a......

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.

Kragh Andersen isn't in the world championships team, by the way.
