Tour Down Under 2026 (Men's, Jan. 20-25)

have you considered that it is the same standard thats being applied, but the different cases are just simply different across several parameters and not only the most focal one

No, because it isn't.

They literally stated that it's different for the Giro doing it because of snow buildup than the TDU because of extreme heat. There are double standards applied when comparing European races and non European races.

I love watching European cycling. Hard not to if you're a cycling fan. But so many of the posters based in Europe whinge about Australian cycling for any reason at all.

Per PCS it looks like everybody is starting today though, so at least there weren't any catastrophic injuries.

Shame about the modifications on todays stage I was thinking to watch this one. But lets go nevertheless, who we cheering for and want to win today Tricycle?

They're talking about crosswinds on comms trying to get Europeans to not go to bed, good try *** head, not falling for that one again, I expect to wake up after a respectable 8 hours and absolutely nothing has happened.
