Wins for Cam and Zoë?

CN has some mystery rider named Bingham Grimy (NSN Cycling Team) involved in the sprint. Is the editor using a learning disabled AI app?

Cyclism'actu reports that Thor Hushovd is hoping/fantasizing he can get Klaebo to join Uno-X.

Cortina d'Ampezzo had better weather than Brussels. The commentators on RTL relayed rumors that Orts will fill the spot opened up on Trek-La Baloise by Van der Haar's retirement; we already know Orts has good relations with T. Nys. Also a bit of polemica concerning Van der Heijden possibly...

The US version of HBO carries the TNT cycling feed. If the commentators are Carlton or Marty , I take advantage of the ambient sound option.

Apologies, I misinterpreted your previous post to mean a top-10 ranking. Alpine skiing does see the occasional race in which the favorites have an off-day while a racer who usually places >15th can have the race of his life; eg Jan Zabystran.

Just today, Ryan Cochran-Siegle took the silver in men's super-g; he's ranked 26 in super-g and 17th overall. But I grant it's pretty rare, to the point I don't usually watch the WC speed events past the first 20 starters.

Looked like the fire went out for Brand.

Yes, I imagine everyone who saw that knew the DSQ was coming, even MNR herself. The seccond entirely avoidable DSQ after Viazzi dropping his bike too early - didn't the pit crew think to yell at him to go back and carry it to the exchange point?

Moors wore the black number when she placed 11th in the women's race at Zonhoven, 25 seconds behind Bentveld and 3 seconds behind Backstedt, but 30 seconds ahead of Norbert Riberolles. Maybe Moor's handlers (S. Nys?) thought she had a good chance to take the jersey: the little mud flower slid...

What handlebars does T,Nys use? I've never seen any snap quite like that, almost as if they're designed to detach.

Will Premier make Alp/Fen take on a mandatory Canadian rider? Is Het Poetsbureau a cleaning service? Will they be washing the bikes in the pits?

Smart move by TDG to unclip on the hill, so he could have enough of a gap to easily get around the bodies in the sand.

Is Van Alphen a candidate for most improved rider? My not-always-reliable memory tells me she was usually 7th-12th last season, with the large time gaps those placins imply. And now she's fighting to be best of the rest.

According to Cyclism'Actu, Søren Kragh Andersen told feltet.dk that MvdP only pays attention to his teammates on race day, the rest of the time he's off doing his own thing. Andersen was comparing him to Pedersen who cares about team-building and involving the other riders in training and planning.
