The most impressive thing is the fact that she won the Junior World Championship in 2016, five years before she was even born/created!
It's also proof that there was no proof reading before publishing.It's just further proof that they're cloning/making riders in their so called factory!
Any news on Amy Pieters? Did she wake up?
Correct (unfortunately?). I've tried to search for any update since 30.12. (docs said she will not be awaken earlier than that) but couldn't find anything yet. Hope she'll pull through.I don't think there's been any news since the message that she'd be kept in coma for a few more days.
Looks like good(ish) news.
Amy Pieters transported to the Netherlands (teamsdworx.com)
She's breathing independently, and the sedation is being phased out.
its goodish news shes breathing independently, it means she wont be on a ventilator anymore which makes it less likely she could pick up chest infections.
but I think its less goodish news that the medication that was keeping her in an artificial coma, though doctors dont like calling it artificial, has been stopped and its not stuff that takes days to wean off, it literally does just stop, but her status is completely unchanged so far, that means she is still in a coma, and the longer that stays the same, the worse the outcomes get.
from my limited knowledge you just don't rush one from medically induced coma... you're always phasing one out... especially if the injury was brain related. the ongoing transportation from Spain to NED can also be playing a role in the process. time... as always... will tell, but one can always hope for the best.Well, I figured that since the team - whom I assume have the information from her doctors, who'd know what they're doing - are saying that it's being phased out, then it's being phased out, and we shouldn't expect her to wake up just like that.
Or, there has been more change to her status than we've been informed of, because we shouldn't expect to get every little piece of info either.

I see Coryn Labecki(Rivera) has moved from Sunweb to Jumbo Visma. I know she isn't at the level of a few years ago, but not even nentioned on cyclingnews or did I miss it? I would consider it one of the bigger transfers on the women's side,

JV also made a weird video of her being congratulated by Sepp Kuss.
You also seem to have missed that Sunweb is called DSM now![]()
I interrupt you with a very important message!
If whoever wins the Battle of North is not crowned Queen in the North, I shall be very disappointed!
Only if it actually visits more than Norway, which we still don't know for certain that it will. A short detour into Sweden won't be enough for a queen to be crowned.
Okay, maybe not this year, but a future edition. Then have the final in Kalmar. If I'm not mistaken, the plan is to eventually visit all three Scandinivan countries.
Could be interesting - from a historical PoV - to make a route based on the life of Margrethe I, and I know she was never actually queen, other than in Norway.
Start in Søborg, have a stage around Akershus, and finish in Kalmar.
Great to see Ruth Corset still mixing it up at 44yo. Her daughter is also racing, in what I'm pretty sure is a firstThe Santos Festival of Cycling is underway with Emily Watts beating national criterium champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon and RR champion Nicole Frain in the final sprint on stage 1. Roseman-Gannon did pick up enough bonus seconds on the stage to take the lead though.

It's apparently possible to watch the race live on the race website, but I simply can't stay up that late anymore.
