Just read on local forum: Ugh, 1:59 in ITT that would be a miracle.
Funny thing is if you ask the same person last year's 1.56 was as normal as normal can be.

Down under.
Sad.
Alone.
Pink Floyd. (wish you were here)
Bye.

P. S.
Please don't kidnap Roglič again before he wins TDF.
 
And how does your son feel about the whole situation?

Him: But do we really need all these cyclists here in our home? I don't know what to do with them. They're no use. Can't you go and kidnap someone who's good at computer games? Or at least a better frisbee player than you?
Me: Son, I'm your mother. Mothers decide on who's going to be kidnapped.
Him: There's hardly any space left for us.
Me: Oh. Right. (Releases Kämna, Ewan and Anna van der Breggen.)
Him: Couldn't we have kept Caleb?
Me: Son! You said you needed space and they're no use.
Him: Yes. But he's not so bad at the console, he's pretty small and... I have an English test next week.

I... was thinking more about how he'd feel if you told him that you're allowed to kidnap him, because some random person on the internet said so.

Like I said tell him it’s a game. I think the bigger question is what is worse to say to the authorities.
  1. I kidnapped my child from school today.
  2. I kidnapped my child in order to practice for when I kidnap professional cycling athletes.

Does Germany have Special victims unit or child protective services like US?
Is it really kidnapping if he wants to stay?

Even more my developmental psychology teacher will ask.

You know what, BlueRoads? It's fine, the kidnapping them is just fine. As long as you're not cloning them, and creating a whole army of Hodegs.

You are... not creating a whole army of Hodegs, right? We're not gonna wake up one day, and the whole world has been taken over?

What a great idea!! But I don't have the knowledge to do it. :( Nor one Hodeg to start with. :(:(
But if I can get him, I will start selfishly with trying to make him ten years older, so that we fit better. If that doesn't work out I will try the cloning thing to improve the world.
(I might try it with van der Breggen as well, because... you know... there need to be women, too.)

Are you sure that you didn't just try - and here's Pogacar?

Yes... yes... I know you probably want us to believe it was a typo, and you meant to write "where is Pogacar?" Well... you ain't fooling me! You and BlueRoads have started a whole big Cyclist Kidnapping Ring, and you're just handing over innocent cyclists to her!
