Astana should change their name to Astana followed by the name of the Italian capital, or AS Roma for short.

It was picked up on, but the poster promptly deleted it.

Well I deleted it here, but then I moved it to the Astana thread instead.

I am only 99% sure about this, but as far as I can see, Matyas Kopecky is the first rider ever to have ridden for Team Novo Nordisk (who have gone by that name since 2013 - the year before they did have a few actually pro riders, so that doesn't count) and then succeeded in moving on from that by getting a contract with a different professional team.

That‘s not that hard to do with only eight riders on the team, though.

No. Both of those mentioned were active less than three years ago.

I feel like there have been several stage 14 of the Tour in the last 5000 days.

But only one stage 14 has been 5000 days ago.

BTW, I'm... still kind of lost about the year...

No because I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about 🤣

I was already well on the way towards old 5000 days ago.

Well, LL Sanchez has won only one 14th stage as well. So that's your hint.

Edit: @SHAD0W93 has spoiled you with a spoiler. No spoilers in the forum. I thought its a mutual agreement.

And Sagan also featured prominently on the stage and finished second if memory serves me right. It was quite a foray he had that day in the mountains clad in green and then when he was taking a feed, Sánchez attacked. Even Gilbert was just looking at Sagan who was having his debut Tour but already had built an incredible aura with 12 wins in 2 months. A sign of things to come of noone ever wanting to collaborate with him.
