Thanks for the tip! Del Toro and August are awesome talents, and I hope I can find a feed on youtube I can watch.

EDIT: Yep, I can watch the feed there. Thanks, as I was really bummed I couldn't watch.

Today was seek and destroy ,Rafal Majka told Del Toro get on my wheel they basically rode away from everyone except for EF Easy Post Archie Ryan who matched everything until he got jumped in the sprint, Majka didn't move, so Del Toro won easy, Ryan also easy second and Polish prince just rolled across for 3rd nobody even close..The mountains just ruined the day for most riders ..The finish was on top of a mountain looked like a movie set..

"The competition will have three stages that will start from one part of Bulgaria and will end in the other" is what the statement says, so I would think it's supposed to include Sofia as well as the black sea coastlines, yeah

Bulgarian cycing, or more specifically the president and vice president, are currently on the UCI naughty step for serious ethical violations with two year bans.
Not exactly a good image at this time.

More importantly, the Tour of Britain route has finally been announced. It's basically split into 1-3 for sprinters and 4-6 for GC.

First two stages are basically identical flat stages in different parts of Suffolk. Third stage is still a sprint stage, but the final 20km have a couple of small difficulties that could make it hard for the calibre of teams at the ToB to control.

Fourth stage is a re-run of the Stage Seven in 2019, famous for one of Mathieu Van der Poel's greatest ever victories (an uphill sprint ahead of Trentin and Simon Clarke). Fifth stage is short at 130km and has a double Tumble ascent. This is probably the most well-known climb in Wales, and is genuinely quite hard – just under 3km at 10% before flattening out for about 1.5km at 5-6%. Last visited in 2014, home to Edoardo Zardini's second-greatest ever win. Stage Six is the second half of the Welsh double header, and is an incredibly short (110km) punchy ride through the old mining valleys of South Wales. The climbs they picked in the middle are maybe a bit too shallow to break the race apart, so it might end up just coming down to who is fastest up and down Caerphilly Mountain (1.4km @ 10%).

Happy to see Cian seems somewhat back. early days, but hopeful his lead legs are a thing of the past, and if not, he'll find a way to have a good career regardless hopefully

Encouraging to see him up there with only 21 race days..Wout 56, Campenaerts 46, Sepp Kuss 48, , Vingegaard with only 40 race days..
Cian roughly half of what everyone else has..

Better bike handling would help. I'd posted a Gold medal IN the mixed relay at the world's. A team of Plapp/Vine/O/Connor and Gigante/Chapman/Roseman- gannon would be hard to beat and the mixed TTT is a key objective for the team.

True, but bike handling doesn't fix the health problems

It's an overlooked part in road cycling; they're all great athletes, but not all are great cyclists.

Relatively ridiculous!!
Racing your bike at 100% in a peloton full of capable athletes is dangerous, full stop.
Crashing is part of racing, not necessarily part of other parts of riding bicycles. You can meet millions of people who have ridden bicycles for years that never experience a crash.
You will not find a single rider in professional bike racing that hasn't had multiple accidents. You can't get to F1 or GP level without crashing.. It's a natural thing..
Not always your mistake.. You can be the best bike handler ever and still fall..
Hobbyists superimpose their experience on pro peloton, simply wrong, racing means crashing.
This woman didn't fall and break her leg because she doesn't know how to ride her bike, she broke her femur because she is a racer and accepts all the extra..

Danes not even sending a TT team to Rwanda, along with missing the U23 and Junior races. Cost of travelling to a different continent is apparently the issue, but I don't remember this being the case for Doha, Richmond, or any in Australia.

I'd rather they were honest about the reasons they're skipping the race, otherwise it just feels a bit insulting and directly related to the fact it's in Africa rather than, say, sponsor-friendly Qatar. I think it's unfair to treat a Rwanda WC as less important than others.
