If the rules say: “The wearer of the leader's jersey shall be entitled to match the colour of his shorts to that of the jersey,”, it leaves a lot open to interpretation, in my understanding. Is the "matching" colour strictly the same as the jersey? Or is any colour which "matches", i.e.fits...

To be fair, the likelihood of this being an accident is higher than anything else, in general. It is very easy to cause serious injuries to a person with a heavy vehicle even at low speed. If this happened close to their house, the likelihood of an accident is even higher as you drive in a...

Why are you so obsessed with their participation? You are not new to road cycling so might have already noticed that participants from various "exotic" countries (from a cycling perspective) in ITTs in the World and European Championships are not anything new. And specifically, Kosovo had 2...

Except that continuous glucose monitors don't "stab needles into your arm". Its principle is in fact the same as the heart rate monitor - both include a sensor placed in/on your skin. There's very little difference between them, the main being that one requires analysing body fluids while the...

Male Turkey [although officially it should now be Türkiye]

Past the first half of the season and the Bruins still in the league of their own. Golden Knights good but don't look like real SC contenders against the top teams from the East. In general the quality seems to be much more on the East this year, so winning the Eastern conference may prove more...

Wow, didn't know mobile plans were so expensive in the US. In Europe the mobile coverage is so good that you would almost not need a phone number and just do your calls via online apps, so it's getting more about how many GBs you get for your money than how many minutes (most plans have...

@SHaines What if the user wishes the length of their ban be known?

Also why does this race have such a distance? Every year since 2017 well over 200 km presumably with quite some climbing involved - is this the hardest race on the calendar?

I am honestly surprised that anyone can even wonder that people who have been spending so much time in some cases for >10 years in the community of other people on this forum, investing their time and attention to interacting with other people here, do care about those other people and may...

At the moment van Aert is similar to Kwiatkowski to me: a really really good rider who does not however have results to back up considering him as one of the very best riders of his generation. Of course he has also his CX career thanks to which he is more visible but purely on the road...

It's quite noteworthy and sad that the only forum user to whom a real forum admin ever responds is a spam bot..! :oops:

Some might say noone won farther from their true home than this rider... (https://www.velonews.com/news/road/froome-faces-scrutiny-extraterrestrial-dna-test-results/) ;)

That's exactly what I don't quite understand. The weather tends to be still quite nice, definitely compared to some freezing early spring races. So why give up on racing so early? Plus plenty of riders have peaked for the WC just very recently, why not to allow them using their good shape in...

This is exactly what I don't understand. I'm far from being the most active member on this forum but even I can notice plenty of spam posts or even the whole threads at just a quick look so can't believe that someone as active as RedRick is not aware of them and needs us to report it in order to...
