  1. Everyone, considering it's California? No Viviani, no Ewan, no Ackermann, no Gaviria, no Demare....makes life easier
  2. Because one group is counted as one 'unit' across the finish line. If not, you'd get some seriously dangerous stuff every single time with every GC rider wanting to be all the way in the front, where there's already 30+ riders fighting for sprint positions, and several people wanting to be in the very same spot at the very same time is something physics solves with death and despair
  3. And Viviani wins, beating favourite Ackermann.
  4. "Stunning final sprint" Lol One guy ten meters ahead of the rest (minus one ok contender) and his main challengers were either failing in the sprint or or had dropped off due to poor positioning, resulting in a bit of a boring sprint
  5. Not only for Asians In the Netherlands: Badminton = thing you play when on vacation and don't touch for the rest of the year
  6. Won't help you much when 100+ riders are trying to force themselves through one curve in full sprint mode One can ride a bike better than anyone, if someone else makes a tiny mistake you're still fucked and in a finish like this that chance is significantly higher (especially with the expected wind) We'll see, I know I'm gonna try to be at home in time
  7. Yay, once more they managed to find an utterly idiotic finish line for a sprint stage (follow the red line from bottom to top where the finish is) A long straight with a peloton in full pre-sprint force which then has to somehow find it's way through a tight and hard turn followed by another one....yeah, someone really wanted to see crashes and injuries.
  8. heywoodu 1. Jos van Emden (35) - 35 2. Elia Viviani (2) - 37 3. Pascal Ackermann
  9. It'd be so lame to decide that so short before the tournament.
  10. Just finished watching everything and wow, this was an awesome day of relays The mixed 4x400m was boring, pretty much everything else was definitely not With Brazil's epic 4x100m win and the men's 4x400m as highlights in my opinion
  11. Always sort of good when someone beats Ewan. Nothing against him personally, but I'd hate to see a ton of kids take his sprinting style as example, that's just so dangerous (for himself and others)...
  12. My touristic favourite so far is easily those two towers in Bologna, I had never heard of them but for 900 year (!) old towers they look awesome
  13. heywoodu1. Jos van Emden (35) - 35 2. Elia Viviani
  14. Can't wait to see Noriaki Kasai in the Tour de France after the Beijing Olympics.
  15. Since hard climbs have the potential to make significant differences.
  16. Kiki Bertens won the title and made Dutch tennis history Biggest Dutch tournament win (women) since Kea Bouman won Roland Garros in 1927 (!) and she's the highest placed ever female Dutch player on the world ranking now...4th, breaking Betty Stöve's record of 5th from 1977
  17. This week I ran 20km for the first time, 2.5km further than I've ever done before Sure, not with any significant speed yet (2:08), but it was about the distance, faster times come later. Feeling more and more confident for my half marathon debut on 16 June
  18. No idea, but not since today since this was not a prologue.
  19. Do those meets have races run in yards and heights and lengths measured in feet and inches and stuff? If so, they're disqualified from the entire discussion
