Only if I could be bothered to go watch it... and in that case it would just be "Oh, there's a race in the area? Might as well check it out."
What does this even mean? You're only excited if you could be bothered to go? So your own level of excitement is what determines your level of excitement? That's a null argument if I ever saw one...
I hvert fald hvis det står til regeringen, der i sit forslag til den kommende finanslov er klar til at afsætte 80,5 millioner kroner i perioden 2025-2029 for at få VM i landevejscykling til Danmark i 2029.
Translated:Pengene skal også gå til arbejdet med at få et årligt World Tour-løb til Danmark fra 2025 og frem. Men hovedparten af midlerne vil gå til arbejdet med at tiltrække VM, lyder det fra DCU.
At least if it is up to the government, which in its proposal for the upcoming Finance Act is ready to allocate DKK 80.5 million in the period 2025-2029 to bring the World Road Cycling Championships to Denmark in 2029.
DKK 80.5M is almost equal to €11M.The money will also go towards the work of bringing an annual World Tour race to Denmark from 2025 onwards. But the majority of the funds will go to the work of attracting the World Championships, according to DCU.
Jesper Worre mentioned during the broadcast yesterday that it has been rumoured for Vejle to make a bid.oh great, another pancake flat WCRR. Great news for Wiebes & Jasper
according to google, my back garden has more elevation than Vejie.
Well, more elevation maybe (my back garden does too), but not more elevation changes. I wouldn’t want a World Championship in my garden, yet would appreciate one in Vejle.Vejle.
And it doesn't.

No, my garden has a higher elevation but no significant elevation change. I don‘t think Izzyeviel has major uphills in their garden but they might live at a higher elevation than Vejle.You have a back garden with an elevation change of more than 80 metres?
Doesn’t seem like a good comparison to make your point: I don’t recall anyone calling the Glasgow course “pancake flat” beforehand. There were questions as to whether the hills would be steep and frequent enough to produce a selection.Many of the comments I have read and seen in video interviews with actual racers in Glasgow say it was one of the hardest events they have done.. ever..and on paper there is not much elevation gain.. So even courses that people describe as pancake flat done at race pace can be really difficult
Hmm... not good. It seems 2 riders crashed into an oncoming car that somehow got onto the course. One of the riders from Chuo University was left unconscious and/or went into cardiac arrest.what on earth happened at the Tour of Hokkaido?

Professional cyclist Nathan Van Hooydonck seriously injured after serious accident involving five vehicles in the center of Kalmthout
He was the driver who became unwell and crashed into the others. His pregnant wife sat beside him. They had to reanimate him and he was in critical condition to the hospital.View: https://twitter.com/hansvdd/status/1701547246989312156?s=46&t=2IDOjtxWjgPQAH4BQBTG2A
Professional cyclist Nathan Van Hooydonck seriously injured after serious accident involving five vehicles in the center of Kalmthout
I had the exact same train of thought, assumed it was a training incident at first. This seems extremely seriousWow, when I first saw the news on Twitter, I was certain he had been out training on his bike.
But this sounds extremely bizarre:
"A car was waiting at the traffic lights at the intersection of Kapellensteenweg, Statiestraat and Dorpsstraat around 8:30 am. The driver (Van Hooydonck), who had become unwell, suddenly crossed the intersection and hit five cars that were queuing on the other side.
He was resuscitated at the scene and was taken to hospital when he was conscious. The man is said to be in mortal danger. His pregnant wife was also taken to hospital for a check-up. Another driver and a child passenger were slightly injured. The Kapellensteenweg is closed for the time being."
A small remark:
NVH was not seriously injured because of the incident (the accident itself was relatively light, luckily, especially for his pregnant wife and others involved) but it was caused by him getting unconscious behind the steering wheel (for whatever reason), resulting in him being critical (he had to be reanimated).
Whatever made him unconcious, I just hope he gets through all of this, as it sounds pretty terrible.
