Same with Skjelmose, isn't it? Can't keep up after a week. Maybe they just don't use any GC spices in that team.

And Ciccone the Vuelta?

So, Skjelmose stays at Lidl for a couple of years. I guess he likes the Danish environment in the team. It seems he'll be their secondary choice in GC's. I wonder how he'll feel about becoming a domestique at certain races.

Once again, Michael Rasmussen says it like it is: "According to Michael Rasmussen, however, the closure of the [Danish] mountain bike national team is linked to the fact that the DCU does not want to tamper with track cycling, as, in his own words, it guarantees easy medals: - It has always...

It's not about rules, it's about clarity. If the playing field is confusing, if the contestants are mixed between each other, if there is a high risk of not getting the result right for the organizers, then it's a bad concept. Almost all other track disciplines are easy to understand and follow...

A concept based on a peloton that sometimes isn't there - is a bad concept.

Even the organizers couldn't follow it. The result had to be corrected afterwards. The podium was changed. I don't think you watched the race?

That was one of the most bitter 4th places I've ever witnessed. Not only does he lose a podium by getting overtaken at the finish line by a rider who isn't in contention for anything. He also loses the gold medal because of that (according to what I've read). The only "mitigating circumstance"...

Events such as this one should be passed over in silence.

Norway beating UAE. The perfect scenario.

People are making this far more complex than it is. The news media - except Fox News and the likes - know where the line goes between political and non-political reporting. And ordinary people with just a tiny bit of education know that too. So in discussion forums, the same distinction can...

Must be pretty annoying to travel to China and then crash on the first stage (especially when it's caused by recklessness).

The worst year of this forum ever, and I can't even say why.

It felt like an anachronism. :smirk:
