Hopefully one where Remco doesn't crash after the finish line or loses half an hour; because we've already seen those.

The first Chinese national in yellow? Macron gives President Xi a yellow jersey up on the Tourmalet during Xi & Mrs Xi's (who I guess succumbed to the terrible bourgeoisie habit of a big shopping spree in Paris) 2 day visit to France.

Prudhomme worries about riders clothing (if Pogi's shorts story was n't enough) - the Pidcock alternative is maybe a viable option

Christian Prudhomme believes that when developing their material, teams are too concerned with making the riders faster instead of thinking about their safety. "It's not possible for a rider to sit on the ground after such a fall with a completely torn shirt and his skin completely shredded?" the Tour de France boss asks rhetorically in RIDE magazine.

I guess it is very difficult to be off topic in this thread, but we have a no politics rule: discussion of immigration policies etc are not invited here, so probably best that it sits there with no reply.
Olympic champion Richard Carapaz is not selected for the road race in Paris. Narvaez will take Ecuador's only start spot. Richard is not too pleased about it.

Well, 90 riders in total, nine-ty, crazy, selecting Carapaz would just be wrong
I’m disgusted they put such restrictive limits on the number of cyclists per country for the Olympics. They keeping adding more events to swimming and gymnastics so there are entire armies of those athletes. Pah
You’d think there would be a guaranteed spot for the defending champion at least… I’m too lazy to look up the eligibility rules again but is it that all road/track cycling disciplines have a single quota between them all? Shouldn’t Ecuador have multiple spots regardless?
I don’t know either and I think I’ll get too frustrated if I look into it!
Sometimes it’s better to not know.
As much as I loved watching Phelps go all 8 for 8 in Beijing back then, it’s true some sports are too bloated. I guess some would say cycling doesn’t need 90+ riders for a single event though. The Olympics is too much of a production for me to get worked up about these days anyway.
I really thought there was the bonus spot for the defending champion.
But yeah on the given parcours Narvaez over Carapaz is quite an easy choice

Superman Lopez must be given a public apology by the UCI for sullying his good name, perhaps with a Tour Wildcard for Medellin as compensation, post-haste!

After several months of silence and uncertainty regarding the career of Colombian Miguel Ángel López, the Court of Arbitration for Sports resolved his situation this Thursday, leaving great news.
According to what is known from European soil, the CAS decision reverses the sanction imposed by the Astana team, which had terminated López's contract after the investigation by the Spanish Civil Guard in Operation Ilex.
This investigation pointed to doctor Marcos Maynar as the leader of a doping network that involved several cyclists, including López.
It should be remembered that suspicions about López were based on a Civil Guard report that suggested that an injury that forced him to abandon the 2022 Giro d'Italia was due to the intravenous administration of menotropin, a banned substance. However, the CAS did not find sufficient evidence to support this claim.
López's exoneration could have a significant impact on other cases related to this investigation.

'Supermán' López sees the light: TAS cleared his name in the case of doping and Astana must pay him a large sum
The Court considered that the cyclist did not violate the rules in the 2022 Giro d'Italia.

What's next for Superman?
To date, the cyclist remains suspended by the UCI, despite the absence of a positive result in any doping control. The Colombian has already expressed his desire to return to racing and prove his innocence on the track; However, he must wait that he will come.A hard blow for Operation Ilex
The CAS decision represents a severe setback for Operation Ilex and calls into question the credibility of some of the evidence presented against it.López's exoneration could have a significant impact on other cases related to this investigation.

I agree. I loved watching the Olympic as a kid and beyond, because enjoyed any sport out there. I went to 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and had a great time. But at this point I’d be fine if the whole thing imploded.
I real court might view the evidence differently than a CAS panel, which seems happy to hand out “did not find sufficient evidence” free passes,
