It's kinda like Ventoux. You spend a lot of time looking at this huge lonely mountain in the distance looking very steep and menacing and impossible to get up. But lord jesus this one's way scarier!

Listened to Zonneveld's podcast about Cian, to paraphrase: A few months ago, Carrera, agent of some other riders (but at that time not Cian), went around offering Uijtdebroeks to other teams. Apparently Ineos or Trek were willing to pay 1M for him. Bora would have really liked this, also to get rid of that annoying rider that was a bit too interested in aerodynamics and eating right and other nerdy poo poo that doesn't matter in pro-cycling. Cian refused to join Ineos ( ), but did want to go to Jumbo. But Jumbo didn't feel like dropping a mil, so they just offered to pay out the rest of his 1 year contract (100k) plus some spare change. Jumbo & Uijtdebroeks & Carrera then went ahead with the transfer, triggering the very angry Bora responses. As they were of course hoping for that sweet sweet million.Since transfers in cycling apparently aren't really regulated like in other sports, this is a legal grey area and if the two teams are unable to reach an agreement, it will probably be a matter for the courts to decide (WVA still is in a court case about him leaving his team to join Jumbo 4 years ago). Cian's arguments in court could possibly be that because of the bullying (app-group and whatnot), he is unable to continue working for Bora and thus is legally allowed to terminate his contract. i dunno dude fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Dec 12, 2023 |

Loving Africa Chaps posted:I was determined to go to ronde next year but: Unless something has changed, you can also stand in the field next to the Kwaremont VIP tents with all the other freeloading poors. There's drink and food stands all over and big screens too. And mud. Last year we stood in a ditch right below the VIP tents. A++, perfect spot, would recommend.   Oudenaarde has good train connections to Ghent, Brussels and Kortrijk fyi.

Smirr posted:I know that the answer is going to be "the detestable Dutch", but who the hell would name their daughter "Puck"? The weird first names of the Dutch are only surpassed by their clown-rear end last names. Football players Vennegoor of Hesselink and Braafheid spring to mind.

serious gaylord posted:I still cant work out what caused it. There looked like a really weird gutter that maybe they slipped on? Or was it wind causinga touch of wheels? Even before this crash, sporza reported the organizer of De Ronde removing this part out of this years race at request of the peloton. Apparently a very fast 80kph descent with a sharp turn into one of the climbs (Kanarieberg), so everybody's hella anxious to try to get to the right position in front. I think it's the same place Girmay crashed last year in the Ronde. They (same organisers) opted to keep it in Dwars door Vlaanderen, figuring the peloton would be less nervous for this race.

Looks like 60% of riders in the in the top 5 are French nationals, representing up to 75% of places 2-4!
