Didn't all races last year initially get postponed without a date? Well, the races that hadn't been held already, and actually got a new date.This is the new normal now. Races getting postponed without a date.
Not all, as most races up until UAE were raced and then there were some raced and some postponed through Paris-Nice at which point everything was then postponed without a new dates.Didn't all races last year initially get postponed without a date?

Hence why I mentioned the bit about races that hadn't been held already.Not all, as most races up until UAE were raced and then there were some raced and some postponed through Paris-Nice at which point everything was then postponed without a new dates.
Today I was thinking I am really looking forward to it. I am hungry for cycling and I was in Valencia and Alicante three years ago. I hate thisValencia is gone too![]()
August?New normal? Patience people. When the vaccines are rolled out we can expect improvement in the situation.
It might be longer where I come from. I read today that the EU has slapped an immediate export ban on coronavirus vaccines to Australia so European citizens can be vaccinated first.August?
I'm hoping sometime in late spring to early summer we start seeing something starting to resemble normal. Also it appears J&J should get approval (EUA) in the US sometime in Feb and Novavax will likely get EUA in the UK and Europe (maybe also South Africa) within the next two months and maybe a month or two after that in the US and I would expect the EU as well. Novavax can get EUA in the UK faster than the US due to where their trial currently is. Their trial in the US is behind and much larger than the UK trial. So there are more vaccines coming and that should mean more supply coming.August?
But isn't Australia basically free of the disease?It might be longer where I come from. I read today that the EU has slapped an immediate export ban on coronavirus vaccines to Australia so European citizens can be vaccinated first.
Yes, but that doesn't reduce our societies fear factor.But isn't Australia basically free of the disease?
It must really have been a drag to live in Australia the past year.Yes, but that doesn't reduce our societies fear factor.
Yes, especially in Melbourne!It must really have been a drag to live in Australia the past year.
I would imagine. But haven't all the participants been imprisoned since they got to Australia?Yes, especially in Melbourne!
Although it appears that our economy has handled the lockdowns okay.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the Australian Open tennis. We tend to freak out if we hear about just ONE new case, so it's likely that there will be some drama during it.
I think all Australians are very thankful they don't live in Europe or America during the pandemic. Vaccine dispersal is about reopening the economy not just health (or bike racing). But we have some states who even closed borders to neighboring states - it became political. Also, no country is free of the disease yet. A new outbreak can spread out of control very quickly hence the 2nd and 3rd waves around the world. Even Beijing and now Hong Kong I hear. Until vaccines are widely dispersed nobody can be complacent.It must really have been a drag to live in Australia the past year.
ImprisonedI would imagine. But haven't all the participants been imprisoned since they got to Australia?
I have to say that I look forward to that tournament. Seeing a sport event with spectators during our own unnecessarily long lockdown will be something to cherish when all the cycling continues to be pushed forward.

Just go so it looks pretty for me! Maybe make a sign with my name if you need a sense of purpose (and remember the last letter is a q, not a g, which everybody seems to confuse!)!"Imprisoned."
Yeah, I guess they have.
I am not sure how many spectators will be at the tennis. I have gone to it a number of times, but a main drawcard of that was the level of freedom associated with it; wandering from court to court and just taking in the general atmosphere. Personally I am not interested in going if masks are mandatory and you cannot sit where you like, etc; defeats the purpose of going to the event imo.
Yeah, I have always read it as "dawg"! Cause of that whole Froome dawg thing I guess.Just go so it looks pretty for me! Maybe make a sign with my name if you need a sense of purpose (and remember the last letter is a q, not a g, which everybody seems to confuse!)!
