Seems the australian nationalchampionship will be the first Eurosport broadcast (males, females, U23) of the new season. 14th of Jan, ealier than expected. If this was in June I would probably not watch it at all but right now I'm really excited that road cycling will return very soon.

Luke Plapp is a close contact of a positive COVID case his partner Georgia Baker of Bike Exchange - He will miss the ITT but should be OK for the RR - The men's field will be limited as most Aussie riders stayed in Europe for the off-season.

The french national championships of 2023 will take place in Hazebrouck/Cassel. :eek: We might get 230-250k on that great course of Cassel.

Have I missed something?

Lots of stuff on Twitter about UCI giving Bel/NL/Fra/It/Spa an enhanced status, and everywhere else in the world being considered a "guest country", but no apparent origin to the story.

What's going on?
So basically somebody on twitter from a big twitter account basically tried to say that there is no discrimination from places like South Africa vs places like Belgium for rider contracts and stuff along those lines. They also said that those countries were the best and everybody else should follow them or something along those line.That big account made him inactive from tweeting and stuff. This is not UCI related as far as I’m aware.

*** sake, love a bit of cycling brouhaha, especially in the boring off season and I've missed the entire thing, they've deleted the tweets too I think. It's a shame as that account is really informative, seems they've booted out the guy now anyway so I'll just continue following like nothing has happened.

Here we go;

It seems like they got just lost on the way to the Remco thread and posted on twitter by mistake.

And a couple of the lads getting caught in the crossfire;

Apart from the ignorance of the guy posting that tweet, Spain and the Netherlands don't even belong in that list.

I suppose they were referring to the US and maybe Great Britain?
Can't be as they were founding members of cycling's international fed, not guest countries.

Mostly they were referring to Africa cause, like, well, the dude's a racist little ***.

The Tirreno-Adriatico route has been unveiled:
T01_LidoCamaiore_alt.jpg

T02_Sovicille_alt.jpg

T03_Terni_alt.jpg

T04_Bellante_alt.jpg

T05_Fermo_alt.jpg

T06_Carpegna_alt.jpg

T07_SanBenedetto_alt.jpg


The positives are 3 stages above 200kms and the Carpegna stage looks good. I can't say too much about the hilly stages without real profiles of the climbs.
That said, Vegni deserves to be send to a Gulag for putting a final parade stage in such a short stage race and all the hilly stages before the Carpegna stage.

Is stage one a team time trial or a normal time trial?

For the Bellante stage: If the altitude is correct, then the Bellante hill is 4,9 km long with an average gradient of "only" 5,2%...
