Yeah... I suspect something went wrong in the cloning process, so only one of them could get a properly functioning heart.

 

[RedheadDane]

Oi, @Samu Cuenca! What the hell are you laughing at this for? It's a serious matter; highlights the dangers of cloning people!

I have fixed it now.

Another quitting way early. But at least this time, it's his choice.

RHD doing a bit of an odd clickbaitty type thing there, not saying who: Theo Nonnez, 21, 5th in 2019 Ronde d'Isard, had only done a handful of 1.1 races with no placings of note.

Good luck to him in whatever he does next.

CN is weird with the linking. Half the time it'll include a little preview. Half the time it'll just be as above. And half the time it'll be exactly as it is in the link-bar-thingy at the top of the page.
Yeah, that's three halves.

It's all to do with how you insert the link.

Through the "insert link" function:

Weird indeed. But sometimes you may also have to hit the preview button posting for it to work. That's what I've experienced with twitter inserts for instance.

Two-time Vuelta de Chile stage winner, two-time Rutas de América stage winner and two-time Pan-American madison gold medallist Cristopher Mansilla, one of the younger prospects that had been slated to race on the PinoRoad team before the manager ran off with the money, and spent a few years with Start Cycling Team racing in South America, died on Monday following complications arising from Covid-19. He also had a strong haul of silver and bronze medals from the Pan-American Championships in the omnium, scratch race and in the road race, and was a familiar face from a variety of flatter races all over South America, notching placements in the Vueltas a Venezuela and Uruguay, and also racing several races in the Chinese mini-seasons in the mid-2010s.

Former teammate Pedro Palma recalled that although he had no known underlying conditions, he had been susceptible to pneumonia and had problems with persistent colds during several years based out of Santiago which had kept him out of a number of races or forced abandons. His last contact with the outside world was to tell people that due to the impact the virus had had on his lungs he was to be placed into a medically-induced coma and intubate him against progressively worsening pulmonary thrombosis. He was two weeks shy of his 31st birthday.

When I first saw that, I briefly thought he was announcing he was gonna cut the mullet off.

The Giro was Paul Martens' final pro race: 16 years (13 1/2 with the same team) and 184000 km largely of dragging a peloton in his wake. And presumably, if it were not for covid, would have had 16 Amstel Gold Race appearances.

The rest of the profession (except perhaps Tim De Clercq) owes him a lot of Watts.

In his day he was quite a good puncheur so I wouldn't just call him a work horse.

Van Garderen set to retire after Sunday's US National Championships

32-year-old hangs up wheels after 12-year pro career

Van Garderen to retire after nationals, amazing how quick time flies felt like only yesterday he was young and helping Cadel at BMC

 

[Bolder]

Kevin Reza, 33, hanging it up. He had a great attitude despite the Moscon incident (and I"m sure many others); I think it would have been easier for him coming up now with more riders of color.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Brent Bookwalter has announced his retirement as well.
Like van Garderen, Mathias Frank also rode his last race yesterday, so former BMC riders will be harder to spot in the peloton next season.

Caruso is not as invisible as he used to be, though.

You should be able to spot Schär too...

He has been taught well by his master.

And Küng, even though he won't be wrapped in the Suisse flag all the time anymore. Actually there are still a lot of them left, so my inital comment was actually not that accurate.
