Either circumstances changed a lot, or almost everyone but Roglic paced it too hard at the start. Roglic did almost a complete even split.Sub-optimal prep. (But mostly pacing)

Can you refer me to those channels, I seem to be in possession of an excess of bridges, and I could do with selling one or two.and here there was talk among some channels that Almeida might catch Dumoulin. How delusional that was
Miserable João Almeida. Portugal suffers from Olympics Syndrome. We get there and fail. Almost always.
van Aert only finished 6th ? Dumoulin got bronze and only 1 vote in the poll?
Pacing of the top 20 riders (2nd lap minus 1st lap): No riders with negative splits among these who finished top 20. | |
i was the only voter lolvan Aert only finished 6th ? Dumoulin got bronze and only 1 vote in the poll?
What did you expect of him exactly? Top10 would have been nice, but he did beat guys like Cavagna, Bodnar and McNulty. Plenty of good riders behind him.
No way he could have gotten a medal there realistically.
not sure but possible... he was cramping pretty early onIzagirre did not finish?
Yeah he did not finish…wonder what happened. , but still.not sure but possible... he was cramping pretty early on
No one expected a medal, just a top 10. It was indeed miserable.
Rui Costa was preparing for his last Olympics, then had his place taken from him so Almeida could go and not even a top 10 in the ITT.
A great disappointment. At least we have Maria Martins in the track. She might give us some happiness.
By doing a track focussed prep for the Olympics, even Dennis said that doing both is super impressive. Bissegger is riding track and he skipped the TT.How did he throw a medal away?
What did he say?I didn't catch the words from the German DS Moster, but after reading about it I think he should be fired. It's a kind of expression that is not so-and-so or everyday talk that can slip on your tongue.
What did he say?

Wurstesser...Ehhh......

"Hol die Kameltreiber" - "get the camel-herders"
Apparently in regards to catching up to Ghebreigzabhier and Lagab.
i dont know why when talking about racism, news always write in detail what was said...in past half year i learned at least 3 new racial slurs - one for jews, one for koreans/possibly asians and one for africans
i couldnt be racist before because i didnt know these words, but now...
it was tongue in cheek comment from me, although i do believe there is certain perverse delight in reporting these stories...ESPN whole talk show business plan is based on thatI'm of quite the opposing opinion. Often it doesn't get reported and it's only "a racist remark" for exactly the reason you are mentioning, but to me there are differences and I want to know what was said to decide on my own what I think about it.
