We could potentially see a Portuguese racer qualifying, even if she was completely off the pace. Looking at the nations rankings, and are the best nations not in the top 21, but they are ranked 23rd and 22nd respectively so it wouldn't take much to qualify normally. After that we have then . We almost could have a scenario where someone that was lapped would qualify to the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted August 31, 2019 #32 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I don't get it. McConnell is leading by a margin, and yet the commentators are not surprised whatsoever. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: 2nd in a main race, standings are a bit annoying to read but she is 5th in the World Cup Edited August 31, 2019 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 31, 2019 #37 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I love climbing on bike, skates, skis, etc.; but that steep switchback climb does not look fun to me, which says a lot about how steep it is. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 31, 2019 #38 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This back half of the race has made for quite a boring event. Plus, Sagan’s not here so there will be a grand total of zero pointless wheelies heywoodu 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
