    Ninja of the Tour (simplified version)

    I would pick Lutsenko as the biggest ninja too. It took me 10+ stages to realize it was him and not Vlasov the Astana GC guy in the front group. I was confused as noone seemed to take him seriously and even the team din't stop Izagirre to help him once he was out of stage contention in Andorra.

    Vuelta '20: Stage 1: Irún - Arrate. Eibar (10/20/2020)

    Vuelta '20: Stage 1: Irún - Arrate. Eibar (10/20/2020)

    Very strong winds in the area today, and a bit of rain, although the forecast suggests it won't rain in the stages end. But wind gusts of about 80km/h can be expected.

    Samuel Samu Sanchez official awesomness thread.

    Time to stop underrating Nibali

    In the running of the bulls in Pamplona there are some guys with big sticks running behind the bulls beating the crap out of people who is dumb enough to try to touch the bulls from behind/holding them/etc... I think Zomegnan could use some of them on motorbikes...

    Time to stop underrating Nibali

    I think calling those idiots "fans" is way too benevolent... they'd better stay at home. Running along the riders has become usual but someday they're going to make someone crash...
