Let's hope he can fully recover. Too many accidents this year already.

Does anyone know approximately what time Lombardia finishes CET? Am lucky enough to be staying in Lombardy (Varese and Milan) for the races this year and would like to book trains in advance to Bergamo on the Saturday.

Neither route nor timetable for this year has been published yet, but last year's finish was at ~16:30 (and was expected to finish at ~17:00).

I write this in real sadness.. The year just is one gut punch after another!! Super week which has been reformulated into Tour of the Dairyland, still has great races and locations. The attendance is appalling!! Many of the fields are nowhere near full!!really really a state of decline, and decay!!
For those unfamiliar, Southern California and greater SW have the largest bike racing scene in the country. Premier events like Manhattan Beach Gran Prix , this year was the 61st anniversary!! A dismal shell of it's former self!! Tiny fields , pro race has an @$8000 prize list!! All races, you could of signed up the day of and there was plenty of room!! Barrio Logan, race has been around over 30+ years!! Pro, 1,2 field was about 40 riders..
The federation is just allowing bike racing to die a slow painful death in the United States!! And with nothing offered on the calendar, for anyone wanting to progress, you are better off renting an apartment in France, Italy, Spain or especially Belgium and you can get more race days in @6-8 weeks than an entire year in US and w a tiny fraction of the travel and expenses.. Truly sad state of things, witnessing a collapse

Yes and there is another excellent series named Chicago Grit which is renamed from Intelligencia Cup..both these races are great, best in the country..Both events have real potential for making a decent calendar. Individual races are a little short for significant professional participation, but for US gives a real chance for consecutive racing which is really really dropping off in recent years. Many hobbyists can get one or both of these series on their vacation list.. And you can go all in or go Chinese menu and select what you want and not race everyday if you don't want to..

Dairyland Dare is a fun ride, comes in different sizes..50k,100k, 150k,200k..don't know if race has different classes, but events that allow E- bikes at the starting line, I often overlook. The other race series I mentioned all require a valid racing license, no E- bikes.

Yeah, but the question was whether it was different or the same as Tour of the Dairyland, and you answered "yes"...

My bad.. Grit and Dairyland are both sanctioned races ,requirements are a racing license and non powered bicycle that complies w rule book definition.
Dairyland Dare is open to all, different lengths as an option, all bicycles are acceptable. Sounds like a fun event

Tour de Femmes is a disgrace, sending these poor women on climbs like these is inhumane. Quite frankly, I reckon this could go down as torture in the court of law. Sickening.

CN reporting that there's rumors of Ivan Glasenberg buying Pinarello. I had a look at Mr. Glasenberg's past business life (he's now official retired) and to say it's "chequered" is to put it mildly. He has a stake in team Q36.5 and seems to like cycling and triathlons.

Apparently Mr Glasenberg did buy Pinarello in 2023, and today we have news that his legacy at his old place of employment, Glencore (Marc Rich's b*rsted offspring), has been further sullied with a fine of $152 million by the Swiss Authorities for bribery in the Congo. This brings to about $1.7 billion in fines that Glencore has paid due to "activities" that occured on Mr Glasenberg's watch. Of course Mr Glasenberg is now retired and living la dolce vita on the west bank of Lake Zürich in Rüschlikon.

Losing the NBA rights is a big hit and by the sounds of it, more mergers or takeovers are in the offering.
https://www.reuters.com/business/me...isses-quarterly-revenue-estimates-2024-08-07/
Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.O) said on Wednesday it wrote down the value of its TV assets due to the uncertainty of fees from cable and satellite distributors and sports rights renewals, sending its shares down nearly 10% in extended trading.
The film and entertainment studio, which owns sports network TNT and streaming service Max, recorded a $9.1 billion non-cash goodwill charge in the second quarter. This charge, stemming from a reassessment of the assets' value since the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, contributed to a $10 billion net loss for the quarter. ...Asked whether the company was considering hiving off assets, CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels said on the call: "We've said before, you shouldn't be surprised to see us engaging in you know, whatever M&A processes are going on out there."

TNT failed to renew a broadcast deal with National Basketball Association games, at a time when live sports have become crucial for companies to increase viewership. ... Revenue from advertisements on its direct-to-consumer platforms nearly doubled to $240 million, trouncing Wall Street expectations, due to higher engagement on the Max streaming platform and strong subscriber growth, the company said.
