UAE Tour 2022, February 20 - February 26

I hope Blue Roads reconsiders. Being angry is entirely rational.

I think that a measured response from the UCI might be to suspend the name Gazprom from all races until such time as the conflict is over. The team should wear their normal kit but with any Gazprom branding redacted. Measures should be in place to support the team and riders financially.

That's it. I'm deleting my account here.

Just to make it clear that my Like reaction does not apply to this part of your post... :-(

 

[RedheadDane]

Just a silly thought.
What if the team went and donated all their prize money to the Ukrainian people? Coz... would mean that Gazprom, and - from what I understand - by extension the Russian government, would be paying - a very minor sum, all things considered - the Ukrainian people.

It seems the politicians have managed tho divide the people even here. I am sad.
Let's try to get on with the one thing that brings us together, cycling and racing.

yep. NATO countries are just as guilty.
Trudeau trucker smackdown is pretty much what Putin is doing

Were you been around in Serbia 1999? Iraq? Syria? Ring any bells?

Just to say there's been a misquote and I didn't say any of that nor share the thoughts of the quoted post.

Please let's leave political discussions for other forums or social networks, where they are more appropriate. They will bring nothing good here but division.

So back to racing, the UAE stage 7, the final stage, has started.

Right.
No Gazprom in the break.

Camel farm!

[RedheadDane]

Interesting that it doesn't appear any of the GC contenders have managed to sneak a teammate in the break for tactical purposes.

WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS ***? I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT FROM YOU.

1. You are obviously living in a propaganda fed world.
2. I'm highly critical of the US, but to compare this is utter ***.
3. I'm definitely not at all against all Russians and in the German media it's clearly Putin who is blamed, not the Russians. I feel for every Russian who would like to speak up and doesn't dare to because they will immediately be imprisoned.
4. Things are not too complex here, and this "operation" is a full scale invasion of a sovereign territory, supported by the autocratic and dictatory countries in the world, blaming the Ukraine to be Nazis when they are the only responsible invaders, lying all around from start to finish.
5. It's not "tension" in the region. Stop this nonsense like this is a conflict between two equals. It's like when you are talking about a victim of domestic violence and because the victim has made some mistakes in the past you say "it's always two sided, the person is also responsible". Only on a much bigger scale.
6. Putin is talking about the nuclear power of his country while attacking a state without any other reason than the fantasies of being a modern szar.

7)THIS WAR WILL NOT PREVENT BIGGER THINGS. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE CRIME AND EVERYBODY CAN BE THANKFUL IF THIS IS NOT THE START OF A HUGE WAR, brought to you by Putin and the people who are with him.

I'm usually a measured person, but in the past weeks and even more days my skin has gotten really thin. All those apologists of dictatorships, autocracy, war, torture and inhumanity, people with their whataboutisms of "the US are also bad, so keep quiet", believers of cheap state propaganda right out of the Nazi's playbook and speakers for appeasement which allows these things to go on and become bigger and bigger.

I live in a country soaked with blood and shame, but at least I have learned to see propaganda and to know that democracy and freedom is the only thing worth fighting for.

That's it. I'm deleting my account here.

Please don't leave Please come back. If not can you write a message with your twitter handle or similar so I can follow you elsewhere? Please <3

I also hope BlueRoads will reconsider and come back. The cycling community is tight knit and it's sad to see anyone go.

Cheese and rice what the heck happened :’(

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I'm surprised the Mods haven't stepped in long before Blueroads decided to leave (Hope she reconsiders). It got way out of hand.

C'mon Yates, try and make Pog look at least half human, even if it's just for this race.

Yeah. Politics' forbidden even in the Cafe.
Invasive concept, I suppose.

Getting back on topic, is there any cycling data site who has a table with the planned broadcast hours of which race (and the channels around the world who show it)? I couldn't find nothing like that in PCS, WCS or FC.

Eurosport closed their regional site for my territory and it would be nice to be able to plan my cycling watching day in a macro level.

 

[noob]

I must admit I love the aesthetics of the peleton as a whole this year. Surprisingly the bikes and helmets with the jerseys creates a beautiful rainbow from afar and my senses are very, very pleased from watching it.

The best I've seen (all Eurosport/GCN, I assume):

Steephill kind of does but mostly for WT events. I know they used to post before the start tones and how to watch. I haven’t used it in a long while since I get Gro restricted in the US. Mostly what I can view if not on one of the networks here like Peackock or US is I think called titz or something like that but it also cut out in the last kilometers so I stopped watching awhile ago. Now I just read the forum as usual, watch when lantern rouge uploads, or if a rider I like wins I’ll go out of my way to find it in whatever language. I don’t mind watching the finish in another language but when it is for long periods it can get hard for me to follow on who is who, or what is going on.
