Apropos of nothing, I just saw that Davide Rebellin is still active (through the end of this year) https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/davide-rebellin :psyduck:

Also this might be very funny

quote:

In 2017, road.cc’s founder Dave Atkinson and off-road.cc’s then-editor Jon Woodhouse were lucky (or foolish) enough to take on the Maratona, with Dave describing all the pain and suffering on those famous Italian climbs as “worth it for the views, for the experience”… oh, and the local food and wine.

While Dave covered the 138km course in just under eight hours five years ago, Stagni, an engineer and former volleyball player who clocks up 20,000km a year when he gets off work, finished his ride in a staggering four hours and 27 minutes.

His time on the day’s key climb, the Passo Giau, was jaw-droppingly impressive for an amateur: only four minutes slower than Egan Bernal at the 2021 Giro d’Italia, and three and a half minutes slower than Vincenzo Nibali in 2016.

First time he's retired with immediate effect (he took a break which some interpreted as a retirement but wasn't, and was going to retire after Worlds)


It's age group stuff, it's the former UCI road Masters worlds with 19-34 amateurs tacked on

I’ve done exactly one gran fondo that I got for free and I don’t understand how you can make a world championship out of it. All you do is make sure you’re the last man through the timing gate, hammer 10 minutes of power then ride z1 for awhile and repeat.

Some of the worst descending I’ve ever seen in my life too and that’s never a timed part either lol

How does he not cop any additional ban for that? At least token ban him from some races he was never going to attend.

Valentin Madouas from FDJ https://firstcycling.com/race.php?r=17&y=2022

Presumably Arkea also loses a bunch of UCI points that Nairo earned at the Tour - probably not enough to keep them from getting promoted to the WT, but makes it a little bit closer at least.

It's not actually a WADA banned substance, the UCI rules on tramodol being banned are separate and a first violation is a DQ
