    Agree, but I dont see it happening. I think USA should go with Kern and Diggins on the first two. Try to stay with the lead and hope some of the other medal contenders absolutely flops. Then McCabe or Swirbul on third and hope for a miracle from Smith on the last.

    World Tour Wildcards 2026

    If these teams want to race World Tour races they need to step up to be PCT teams. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

    Yeah no chance normal winterfatty Remco fueled by cake would stand a chance here. Lets see what slimboy Remco fueled by Red Bull can do

    Jebel Mobrah looks like a legit beast. First 5 km seems to be like 6% and then the last 6 km is around 12%. This will be a proper test against Vingegaard.

    He might even be able to get some results as well

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    It would be pretty close to the weirdest thing we have seen tho... Armirails best GT result is 16th in the 2023 Giro, a weak edition where he was gifted 21 minutes and the pink jersey on stage 14... His only top 15 in a WT stage race is a 10th in Pologne, won by GC powerhouse Ethan Hayter. Tour...

    Why do you belive Ardashev is clearly better than Korostelev? This season Korostelev raced 6 distance races in Kirovsk and Tyumen before he entered the world cup. 19/11 - 10 km (classic?): Korostelev won, Ardashev 2nd 6s behind 22/11 - 15 km (skate?): Spitsov won, Korostelev 2nd +14s. Ardashev...

    Outstanding performance by Diggins today. One of the best of her career.

    Korostelev much more behind than I expected in 10k in Classic. Also Niskanen was disappointingly far behind.

    whenever I read about something Remco say about that Giro it is obvious to me that he believes he was already sick on that stage. And it makes sense. He got dropped on stage 8, did a very subpar TT (even if he won) on stage 9 and then abandoned directly. When Remco talks about what could’ve...

    Vike is much closer to the Olympic team than Tønseth. Tønseth went into basically no chance territority after being "only" sixth Norwegian in the 10k in Ruka and missing Trondheim qualification. There are athlest 8 skiers more qualified for the 10k skate and the skiathlon, then one could argue...

    More longer climbs in Catalunya. If he’s serious about his GC ambitions he should race more proper mountains. So I think chosing Catalunya over Paris-Nice is fine.

    I didnt see the race yesterday, but I’ve read a lot of speculation among Norwegian watchers that her skis were not good. She’s had a good start of the season, inte first two weekends, so I think its too early to say that age is catching up with her.

    In january 2024 you disagreed with me when I said she should stop focusing so much on trail running: Let's just say I saw it coming ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont know about Nepryayeva, but Korostelev has been training in Ramsau and Livigno...
