Re:

Czech women RR:
Speedskater Martina Sablikova wins again with more than 5 minutes advantage...

But Rio is doomed probably

Re: Re:

Ugh Rojas. For once a reason to be thankful for Movistar's horrible invisible national jerseys.

I'm sure Rojas will request a great big flag on there - complete with the Águila de San Juan.

He's probably trying to convince Unzue that the jersey would look a lot better with a yoke and arrows symbol.

Or, you know, just the personal coat of arms of Franco if the yoke and arrows isn't possible. Just a small one.

Where does this implied Rojas affinity with Francoism come from? Something I've missed?

Cheers.

Cheers.

When asked what person he most admired for one of those little rider profiles he answered Francisco Franco. It's not really implied, his affinities are quite explicit. He's a far right loony tune.

Yeah, I think it was in a magazine a few years ago (Pedalier Pro?). To be honest, respecting Franco is unfortuntely pretty common in Spain (just look at the disgraceful Valle de los Caidos!) but normally amongst much older generations. So it's difficult to know if Rojas is really a far right nutter, or just an ignorant idiot. Tbh, I'm not prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt though.

Wow, that's really disgusting. Glad he almost never wins anything important.

He is like cycling's Di Canio, nobody knows if these sentiments are due to him being completely ignorant of what it actually means or if he is a fascist. DFA and Zinoviev letter answered you question I believe.

Lol Cheung king lok did the double, rr + time trial in hong kong!

 

[yaco]

Still trying to get a handle on what level Kok can reach - Has done all asking so far at OGE - We should get more idea next year.

Nico and Eddie Dunbar in the break over the first climb in the Irish race - only lap 1 of 6 so a long way to go...

 

[ILovecycling]

Roman Kreuziger wins a Czech Nat title first time in his career! After a nice attack on Styby who comes 2nd!
Juraj Sagan wins Slovakia Nat... after a hard work of the group was done by his brother Peter! Deserved and great legs by Juraj tday!

 

[LosBrolin]

Yeah, Juraj was on fire today.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Nice gesture by Peter. He's wearing the WCRR jersey anyway, so I guess he might as well gift the national jersey to his brother.

All the favourites are in the break...strange they all went from the off ..though expected Dunbar to be up the road

yeah,it would not fit
was not gift tho,Juraj was great today and Peter fatigued after strong effort on flats (but they were obviously agreed)

 

[LaFlorecita]

How nice for Juraj, his first victory

 

[Anderis]

In Poland there is 12-men break including Huzarski, Kwiatkowski, Gołaś, Majka, Wiśniowski, Mrożek, Paterski, Zieliński, Warchoł, Rutkiewicz, Łukasz Bodnar and Domagalski. They have 2 minutes advantage over peloton led by Verva riders. There is still a lot of racing to be done.

 

[Tonton]

75K to go in France, 5 riders clear including Gougeard, 6+ minutes ahead.

Time for my Sunday ride...I'll miss the end, but no stream link, no regrets I guess ...

Carnage in the belgian nats. Big group up the road including Greg, Gilbert, Wellens, Van Aert... 1'21" advantage.

 

[damian13ster]

Majka and Rutkiewicz on attack. Kwiatkowski in group behind. Either not in shape yet or wants others to work first. Previously it was Kwiatkowski that initiated attacks and drove the pace, later him and Majka pulled.

Wonder what's going to happen with Rio selection. Majka and Kwiatkowski for sure, 90% Bodnar because of ITT, I think Bialoblocki lost selection in the Poland Championship ITT. What's left is Niemiec, Rutkiewicz, Paterski, Poljanski.
Probably one of those and no 2nd rider in ITT (doubt Kwiatkowski wants to start)
