Were you studying grammar?

Obviously not!!
Maternity, pediatrics, newborn jaundice, hydrocephalus, etc. boring stuff.

Why all those at the same time? Major exam? (I am reminded of a TWIP podcast episode case about a kid born with hydrocephalus (probably due to mom having eaten red meat during pregnancy, which gave here toxyplasmosis).

No need to call me, Magnus - I did mention you.

But honestly, how many big wins in one day races does the guy have on his list?

Nah, just kidding. I am a Dane fan In my book Danes are doing great! Of course not winning all the time, but the overall level is still crazy high? Cort just felt like a normal Danish thing to me and I wouldn't be surprised if he won worlds

Me neither. He was just one Italian domestique from winning in Bergen and has a much higher level now.

Homework for the last two then just general. The main was postpartum care of mother, newborn, and family. Peds renal and endocrine diseases

I am trying to make sense of Almeida shape this summer as it feels he's so up and down. Or he's simply at the same level, but the field varies? Then again even Cavagna wasn't in shape today. I don't know. I was just haphazarding if Almeida is a bit like Pog better at TT in a longer race. And if Küng for example simply does worse in a GT.

I'd say his TT's are around the same level as usual, but there's more and better opposition. For a GC rider he is a very good TT'er, but I wouldn't put him in the elite TT category. Not yet atleast. It's not like he ever destroyed everyone in a TT in stage races, just consistent top 10 placements.

Talking about Almeida: it would have been fun if he was the rider who started right before Evenepoel just for the tears on twitter when he would've been overtaken right before the finish,

Anyone who's got an idea where to follow the u19 championship race?

It seems that RAI is not producing live pictures from it.

There's live timing here: https://egs-eventi.s3.amazonaws.com/00000000/00060000/00062100/00062171/cis/index.html
And perhaps someone will provide useful updates on twitter: https://twitter.com/hashtag/EuroRoad21?src=hashtag_click&f=live

Remco will crush the competition there for sure!

Based on the Jr race it doesn't look like a very selective route.

TLDR: I don't enjoy watching tears

Oh I am not a fan of tears on twitter or making fun of people losing. I always looked away in competitions when they filmed the losing team/competitor in any sport , even if I was a die hard fan of the winning team/competitor. It's a weird thing with me, but it's just how I was born. I always loved losing games myself as I would be the happiest loser lol. I don't enjoy Ganna looking sad for example. I wouldn't even be happy to see Van Aert sad (he is the closest to a rider I am averse to).

For me to like someone they have to be an underdog, or be weird in some sense.

I didn't watch a race since Rasmussen was sent home 2007 and that I only watched because my partner was smitten by it. But 2020 I watched parts of giro and vuelta plus worlds and Flanders. This year I believe I have watched everything from the Giro and ahead. So I follow Almeida closely, even if I don't get the hype and never expect him to win. (Also he has the most amazing talking voice I have ever heard.)

The closest I am to a fan of anyone is Vingegaard. That was from Angliru and onwards. He has that fragile looking physique combined with crazy endurance and strength that I looooove watching in cycling!

 

[Lievro]

Gregoire wins it. Hagenes second, Martinez third.

 

[BlueRoads]

So the hope for a French Tour winner is alive and well, I suppose.

I also don't like to watch anyone losing or worse, see them really sad. But it was way worse when I was younger, I told my father to turn the tv off because I couldn't watch it... I still often cry when an important competition in running or cycling ends, just because of the emotion from all sides, can't help it, lol. But with time I realized that losing is not the apocalypse for these athletes, even if they burst into tears in that moment... at least that's what I tell myself. So I don't have those same feelings anymore, I'm a bit blunted, which makes it easier...
(I don't mind losing myself, winning doesn't give me a kick, but I can't say I'm keen on losing either.)

 

[BlueRoads]

So, not selective enough for Colbrelli... Sam Bennett or Mohoric then probably.

Yeah 40 riders in 10 seconds among the junior.
And only 180 km for the pros, it will be hard to make a difference unless Remco/Pog go crazy.

I think Ganna has already had two peaks, for Giro, and even bigger, for the track Olympics. Maybe he will work a bit more towards the Worlds, but he already had a great year. Not easy to do it all, track, domestique, time trial specialist.

At the Worlds he'll be fine, he came there straight from altitude and when he does that he looks crap, think for example at Romandie and the National Championship, personally yesterday i was expecting even worse than silver. Probably for this race would have been better to stick to the original plan of riding Benelux after Norway instead of going to altitude but with the track Worlds moved to the end of october after the relocation in France that extra block of training was needed.

I want my crap version of me to look like that.

How big are the teams in the road race?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Considering that 180 km isn't a long race, then we migth actually see some teams try to get rid of the sprinters before the circuit. No way Bennett in questionable shape will survive the Bondone road if the pace is relatively high (if he's not dropped already by then).

But wouldn't we all love it if he made it?
