Tour de Suisse 2021 (June 6-13)

[BlueRoads]

In some countries c-sections are very normal and don't require a medical recommendation at all.

About the race: I hope Schachmann can do a good time here, of course, but I also hope for Carapaz.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I was never questioning whether he was going fast or not, I was just questioning the accuracy of the watt-numbers

Well, since you just stated you dunno what Velon is, why don't we just leave it at that?

Of course we don't know if it's a C-section. Could just be that they're having a very disciplined child! "Listen, kiddo! You're gonna get born on this date, and that's settled!"

Not saying it's abnormal dude, just saying that C-sections are USUALLY only used, when there are issues with giving birth the normal way.

Most doctors would view it as unethical to perform a c-section, solely for the sake of scheduling issues.

Usually there has to be a medical reason.

Well, it's just a matter of looking at the tv-screen and you'll see lots of examples of riders doing 300 watts or having a cadence of 90 despite not pedalling; or examples of riders having different average speed for a climb despite riding up together etc. But sure, let's just leave it be

I think questions regarding birth belong in the Clinic.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Kragh in his exit interview saying, that he doesn't think his time was that good, and that he expect to get beaten.

It's not doping-related...

I would imagine that it could be most difficult to discipline a child with Julian's genes, so yeah, maybe best to get on top of things early.

Cyclist are widely known to be very disciplined people. Both of this kid's parents are/were cyclists so we have every right to assume that might actually be the case.

I don't know about France, but in Spain for instance I think the majority of women do get one, due to ... ehm... "aesthetic" reasons.

How about you read up on how Velon does watt tracking, and THEN form an opinion on how precise it is, rather than just guessing?

But wouldn't it then make more sense to tell the child it has to wait until the Tour de Suisse is really over?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No, but it is hospital related (unless Marion Rousse is planning to do it somewhere else).
Anyway, I just think it's a bit off topic in this thread (the pot calling the kettle black, I know).

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Sometimes redhead, it pays to read the post twice before replying, so that you catch the joke

 

[Red Rick]

Procyclingstats has Dumoulin fastest intermediate time by 3 minutes.

If this is wrong I don't want to be right.

OMG

I thought you were making a joke - seems it was involuntary.

SORRY REDHEAD

Maybe that was on purpose, cause Julian doesn't especially like the Sunday's stage and "child birth" sounds much more justified than "knee pain" or "mild cold"?

 

[Red Rick]

Okay it was adjusted, 6 seconds faster than Kragh Andersen.

The time is wrong, he started 15:47

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tom 5 seconds up
Not the 3 minutes they suggested but still good progression

 

[RedheadDane]

No, but it is hospital related (unless Marion Rousse is planning to do it somewhere else).

So, all talk about riders being injured should be in the clinic?

---
Back to the race: Dumoulin new best time at the intermediate.

Guessing? What's guessing? I'm just using my eyes As I said, it might be more accurate for average meassures, but using them for immediate numbers, often doesn't make any sense

It can also be the case that a child is past term, in which case the doctors will schedule a time for the mother to have labour induced.

Curious what his descending time will be. Kragh Andersen was on a road bike, and Dumoulin on TT so we have a chance to compare which type of bikes is better in this conditions xd
