According to Italian media Norway, Sweden, Finland and France said that they'd boycott it if any Russians were allowed.

Do they have a bit of speedskating? But FIS related they are pretty much a non-factor in all sports.

The Swiss and Lichtenstein are the surprises to me. Also the big CX skiing nation of Denmark voting is a bit weird, but I have to admit that I'm not too familiar with the whole process and who is allowed to vote. Clearly we needed the Kazakhs or China on the panel. ;)

Unless Lipo really pushes for the Giro. Still, since Hugo Boss is their jersey sponsor they might as well go full Axis Powers and have Lipo + Pellizzari at the Tour.

Ib4 Jonas Wineyard shows up at the Giro...

If there was a 35-40km flat Itt during the first 1,5 weeks it would actually be not half bad, aka a balanced route. Also, I'm not sure about the Alpe record, if they go hard on the 2 stages at the start of the stage to establish the breakaway there will be some fatigue from the first hour of...

Lipo-Pellizzari for the Tour while the 2 fresh effort specialists can fight it out at the Giro!

The Emirates are hosting road, track, granfondo and all kind of meme WCs (urban cycling and e-cycling) in the coming years and already over the last few years, so it's really extra to hide some extra payments here and there, since there is already a big official money trail from the Emirates to...

Man, Pooh bear didn't take that one lightly...

I mean, he could just go for a negative/forward offset seatpost and a more reasonable stem length like a normal person, but he always tries to game the system somehow. Also funny to use such an big upwards angle stem with a bikeframe that is known for it's rather low stack height (like many...

They really wanna go for the 100 wins this season, don't they?

Yeah, Aleotti was the other guy who did that role really well (also last year in the Giro for Dani Martinez, who had little support in the mountains otherwise).

That is a bit of a surprise to me. He had a nasty training crash that made him loose counciousness and miss the Giro + the Vuelta crash, but in Paris-Nice he was a rock solid domestique for Lipowitz in the medium mountains and rode a good gc in Poland. They also don't have that many domestiques...

Trentin still got it. First podium for Fat Albert in a big one day race? Also lol at the average speed.

The guy is just trying to keep his name in the media until the statute of limitations covers his Tour win, then he'll write a big confession book (ok, someone else will do the writing for him) to cash in a 2nd time.
