Sorry, being vain about haircut was over the top - there are 'lies' and there are "lies".

Are you accusing me of lying?!

Just because you gave him a "ride" doesn't mean you get out of kidnapping him Blueroads.

You should call him!

But that's why I'm hesitant... maybe he won't always see it that relaxed... and inform the police after all. Maybe better to stay quiet.

Just tell him that was your evil twin sister, Redlava. That you're nothing like her, more sophisticated, and don't have to kidnap him for a "ride". Or say Pogacar is beating him out for your affection to make him jealous. He'll be down.

Cross at the border = cross country

BTW, I bet that Wout had the same look on his face when he saw you guys as the one that you once had as your profile pic

Great to learn that Roglic is ready for the Grolsch Cardboard Event on Sunday.

This year the organizers have designed a route which consists of 500 laps around a schoolyard in The Hague. But it's not any old schoolyard, no no, because due to the surprise comeback of Michael Boogerd they have chosen his old school as the venue for the race. Will his knowledge of every single corner finally secure him his second title? Can his technique keep him from colliding with the bin outside the school cafeteria, which if pushed over, of course will result in an instant DSQ for littering? Will crosswinds determine the winner, and could the sandbox prove to be too tough for the favourites to get through? We'll know before Monday.

Here's a map of the lap:

The UCI commissaires will keep a close eye on the race from the tower, and rulebreaking riders rule will be severely punished.

Dear @BlueRoads it was a compliment!

Let's not forget the Dutch Beer Race tomorrow.
10 laps of 17.4 km, and every rider has to empty a beer at every passage of the finish line.

Remind me: is there a time limit for those that will not say No to a free beer?
And is the reward still 1000 beers?

No, that's a lie. I have already described the race in details above.

At the border Wout picked him up, he had a cross bike with him and said they would be taking turns, one rides, the other one runs along. Said everyone was doing cross now in preparation for races.
Such model athletes!

I would assume they're inspired by former Slovenian Cyclocross Champ Pogacar following his Tour win.

Bit disappointed with Alpecin Fenix's tactics in Turkey. Seventh straight second place for Philipsen and Grand Theft Auto Academy winner Jay Vine let GC leader Dias sneek away to get more bonus seconds at the sprint prime.

@Samu Cuenca it looks like there will be two races tomorrow - alcohol free and alcohol all the way.

Naming a whole river after a beer must be a unique advertising venture.

The fact that liquid gold runs trough it also played a part in the naming process.

So who won the Dutch Bear Race? I heard there was a photofinish and it was deciced through a honey eating contest.

Surely that would be the Dutch Mead Race.

Yes, the bigger bear won, but it was very confusing because he was dressed in honeycombs.

But what is his/its name? Cort?

Yes. They eventually had to decide the winner in Court.

Yes. Before every competition like the Dutch Beer race the quality of what is drunk is checked by WADA (World Alcohol Drinking Association).

I remember when Hamilton got busted for mixing his red wine with someone else's. They do an important job.

I'm happy to tell you that all paticipiants (m+f) of the "alcohol all the way race" have finished their last beer. The race is still on...

Great to see Froome back to winning form winning races, even bunch sprints now

What do you mean? He never left. He's been dominant in bunch sprints and even on fairly short steep climbs. Remember on Madonna di San Luca where he outsprinted Simon Gerrans in the 2009 Giro!

You had me in the first half not noticing which thread this was, I'm not going to lie.
