    Tour de France Tour de France Femmes 2022 (July 24th-31st)

    That reads as it was worded by a PR person, no mentioning of a "gaatje" anymore. Of course it wasn't intentional and I understand why statements are put out in that way but calling Cavalli just "the rider on the ground" is terrible.

    59th Eschborn-Frankfurt (1.UWT), May 1st

    I grew up in the region, so I wonder if I'm a bit too nostalgic about past editions, but still... When it was still Rund um den Henninger Turm the last couple of kilometres south of the Main where a bit more technical and much more interesting than the boring inner city finale they have now.

    Too Late, Too Furious: Tokyo Drift - The 2020 Olympics Thread

    Well, if one team catches a team the race is won, isn't it? 3.2.081 A team is caught when the opposing team (at least 3 riders riding together) arrives at or within a distance of one metre of it. Would that apply here?

    This thread and its title were made in jest before the TT and refer to the various mishaps other Dutch rider have had during the Olympic Games. Very few people (if any) think that Dumoulin's silver was a disaster.
