Not much CX chat itt but Namur was an absolute classic. The course was muddy, the weather was terrible, Iserbyt seems to have gotten hypothermia, just brutal conditions. Riders crashing left and right. Both the men’s and women’s races were entertaining but the men’s in particular was one of the best I can remember. Definitely check it out if you have access.

rngd in the womb posted:apparently this race is canada only on flobikes, so... You do. I saw this morning that he broke a rib so that sucks. He didn’t look too bad on the podium so hopefully he can continue, especially now that he’s the cup leader.

There have been some medical studies showing a relationship between elite cyclists and low bone density, so it’s not out of the question.

Carmen (?) Alvarado lost the cx World Cup title by crashing during basically the last kilometer of the last lap of the last race of the season while she was on the front. Brutal

bicievino posted:Need to see how this shakes out for US coverage vs. nbc gold and flobikes, especially for olympics next year. As of now GCN doesn't have rights to any of the grand tours for the US market so it isn't really a good option. I'll stick with NBC Gold ad-free streams for what they cover and pick up the rest on Eurosport if I can be bothered to.

Remco just flipped himself off the side of a bridge and fell a ways. Looks like he’s going to leave on a stretcher.

He’s good but he’ll never win GC. Sepp Kuss is who you want to keep an eye on.

Cycling doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to testing so a third of the peloton probably has COVID.

It didn't seem that terrible but after what happened to Jakobsen in Poland you have to think they're extra sensitive to it.

He's still 2nd overall without being able to race this year and would be within a dozen points if he didn't get penalized for his bump on WVA. I think it's a little premature to put him out to pasture.

The worst thing about the doping spectre over this sport is that I can't watch a performance like that without wondering. Beyond the TT does Pogacar even have a supporting team this year? Good to see porte on the podium finally, the year before he returns to working for someone else lol

The last round of doping scandals did a ton of damage to the sport so it's understandable but yeah pretty funny to watch everyone just dance around the issue.

There would probably be more "just asking questions" in the english language press if it were Froome or G who got blitzed off the mountain and not a Slovenian dude on a Dutch team. We'll never know either way and it's a weird season anyway since everyone is fresh. I'm sure some people took advantage of the lockdown and the relative lack of testing but whatever, it was a still good race and an exciting finish and hopefully that continues. Loving Africa Chaps posted:Tom Pidcock to Ineos is a done deal I just learned this morning that Porte is headed back to ineos, and now this? Why must they ruin everything. Gonna be sky train vs jumbo train but at least this year was fun!

A standard bottle is 500 mL. Assuming randomly packed spherical lead shot with a density of 64% you can carry 320mL or 3.6 kilos of lead per bottle. With one bottle in the TT bike cage and an additional 9 in the vest you could add approximately one half of an Alaphillipe to your weight. Upgrade to tungsten and you could get an entire world champion on your back for the downhill TT.
