I'm quite fine by that (40 kms being considered long, that is).I dont want to live in a world where 40 km is considered a Long TT, to be honest.

I only objected to your exaggerations. I don't know what Rt is now, nor have I made any claims about it (or statements that depended on it). I know that R0 hasn't been near that of measles, and distortive exaggerations help no one. Whatever argument you want to make, keep it factual.I was going off the recent preprint that indicated R0 of 18.6. Given the difficulties of establishing R0 in current circumstances, the intense arguments about it among the experts and the greater relevance of Rt, I’m perfectly happy to assume a vastly lower Rt. It makes no difference to the consequences of the argument, unless you want to claim an absurdly low Rt. Insert whatever Rt you want and do the sums. 8 guys pulled is really minimal disruption,
Maybe now. The 2009 Annecy ITT was called medium.If I had to choose between calling a 40km TT short, medium or long surely it's a long one?
Something like mitosis and meiosis should be told.Christian Vande Velde asked Paul Burmeister to drink ketone ester to reach ketosis. But when Burmeister asked Christian what is ketosis, Christian did not know. He just knew it was a good thing.

Mate Wout Van Aert is a Belgian Pippo PozzatoI don't get it.
Nah... still doesn't ring a bell.Mate Wout Van Aert is a Belgian Pippo Pozzato
Remco used to be Belgian Simon Spilak but his great performance in Liege massively improved his position in my eyes
Morkov just on a training ride and will still make the time cut lol
What part don't you understand?Why did the call back van Aert that just makes no sense.

Of course it made sense. The only thing that didn’t make sense was that they did it so late.Why did the call back van Aert that just makes no sense.

Great point, they should make the bus and team cars embassy vehicles and claim diplomatic status for all the staff and riders. Everyone could get middle eastern names like the east african nationalized long distance runners.Why has Bahrain‘s government not prevented European police from attacking the team? The team and their sponsors will be upset about what happened in this Tour and beforehand. I‘m angry, also. Why does European police prevent Bahrain cycling team from riding fast and entertaining? What sense does that make?
