Didn't saw this coming: Wiebes is on the startlist for the Track World Championship Scratch Race.

​

She's gonna try and see how it goes/feels, with LA 2028 Olympics in mind.

Ah, the Lara Gut-Behrami of the cycling world.

Speaking of Wiebes, the 2024 Velo D'or nominees:
Brown, Kopecky (Lotte), Vollering, Kasia, Evita, Vos, ELB, Faulkner, Wiebes, & Rooijakkers,

One of these does not belong...

So Haidi can be a Chinese given name. Yuan means 'south', but it's a pinyin transcription so suggests she would be more northern at least in origin, which is a shame as Mandarin doesn't have 'Weng' as a possible syllable I think (Cantonese would, I believe, but then the name transcription would have been Wade-Giles or jutping, like we see with the Taiwanese and Hong Kong riders).

We could, however, get a Wen Haidi or Wang Haidi in future, which would be very cool. I would probably have to cheer for them.

Am I the only one that doesn't have a clue what any of this is about?

Is it skiers again?

To keep it in our sport and keep it simple, or perhaps more consfusing, Cat Ferguson was a top level slalom skier when she was younger.

And did you know Roglic used to be a ski jumper!

Nope.

Nope.

Only golf fans

Did Lach just outsprint her own teammate (and pressumably leader)?

She did.
Schweinberger 3rd.
