The weather here isn't very nice today and the TDU has me excited about racing. So I have spent quite a bit of time on Peacock with replays of last years races running on another device, and I just enjoy the background noise.

Thanks for the Alula heads-up, it actually has a pretty good startlist! (https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/alula-tour/2025/startlist) And the time difference isn't as crazy as the recent TDU one. (Only +11 hours for me rather than 18 or 19, the latter just don't compute.)Mallorca coming up on Max this week.
Alula is looking like Flobikes for Americans. And I don't do Flobikes.
Edit: it looks the Australian SBS showing Alula. So if you have VPN it's available in English.

I suppose we could watch Daytona 500 qualifying.

I think rather than put it this way.. Show sponsorship investment and viewers, race attendance in a bar graph for last 40 years!! NASCAR is in freefall!!! And to be fair likely a bar graph would show everything would spike during Armstrong era with steep decline afterward.FOX with their usual disregard for truth in their Super Bowl ads promoting Daytona 500: calling it the biggest car/motorsports race in the country?
