Van Aert, Vingegaard and Pogačar in the Tour de France of 2022.

A new season starts in the CFF League of the World Cycling Stats !  8)

For new participants who want to join the cycling for fun subleague in WCS :

Quote from: Vos on January 24, 2021, 09:43:13 AM

1. Click this link :  http://www.worldcyclingstats.com/en/games

2. Create an account ( it is free ).

3. Join the WCS subleague = cycling for fun
Click a tour or race that is open for participation,
then click leagues, now you see a list of all subleagues, search for cycling for fun and click it.
To join, you have to use a code/password : by pm you can ask this password to one of the CFF participants who already joined.
You have to use the password just once, after that, in all other tours and races of this season you are automatically in.
Keep the password secret please, just mention it to a new CFF participant who wants to join.

It is the WCS subleague cycling for fun, so it is for CFF managers of the normal CFF game.
But it is no problem if there are a few exceptions, for example a friend of you outside the normal CFF game who wants to join.
In this case, please inform one of the administrators ( = Kalarratas and Vos ) about this.
Ex-CFF managers are also very welcome to join the WCS cycling for fun league. Perhaps a motivation to start again in CFF as well.

4. You can change the language ; at the top of your WCS start page ( English, Dutch, Spanish or French ).

5. To play this game costs almost no time, just a few minutes to pick 15 cyclists and answer the extra questions.
You can also read a preview of the tour or race, a lot of previews are online. But this is not necessary, in my experience sometimes better results when you do the 15 picks + extra questions very fast without reading a preview.

It is up to you how often you want to join in the races and tours of 2022.
There are many CFF managers who join so now and then. Also some CFF managers join just the important races and tours.

6. After you picked your 15 cyclists and answered the extra questions ; nothing more to do, just relax and enjoy how your picks are doing. Do not forget to activate the 15 picks and extra questions with the select button at the bottom of your screen.

7. Enjoy and have fun !  :)

But to me it is logical and righteous that this "victory" does not count, because stage 2 was cancelled with 25 km to go.

They were surprised by the sudden, extreme snow during the race. The rain on the final climb changed suddenly into heavy snow.
An alternative route was not an option in this specific situation, too dangerous and irresponsible.

In the O Gran Camino, WCS declared a stage 1 winner in the CFF League,
only based on intermediate sprint- and mountain points before the race was cancelled.
True, these points do count in this little tour,
but to me it is logical and righteous that this stage "victory" does not count, because the race was cancelled.

Peters emerged from a hard day in the cold and rain in the Ligurian hills to win the Trofeo Laigueglia,
giving AG2R Citroën a prestigious win in the opening race of the 2023 Italian calendar.

The Frenchman attacked at 29km from the finish on the second of four climbs of the Colla Micheri and never looked back,
taking risks on the twisting descents and going deep on the climbs and along the coast road to the finish.

Covi (UAE Team Emirates) tried to chase on the last climb but was caught and finished third in the sprint for the podium spots.
Vendrame won that sprint of a little chasing group of 6, to give AG2R Citroën a rare one-two.

After reviewing several options for modifying the route and waiting for an improvement in weather conditions in the afternoon, the organisers of Paris-Nice have decided to cancel the 6th stage to preserve the safety of the riders of the 81st edition, in agreement with local authorities. The exceptionally violent winds, which notably caused several tree falls in the region, make the cancellation of the stage inevitable.

With 25km to go, van Anrooij attacked, but she was the next 18km within sight because of an average lead under 10 seconds.
Many attacks out of the big chasing group to try to catch her,
ánd to get rid of the best sprinter in the chasing group, Balsamo, a team mate of solo leader van Anrooy.
But the attacks were all in vain, and van Anrooij ( 21, NL ) celebrated her biggest victory ever. 2nd Balsamo 0:23", 3rd Guazzini 0:23".

(https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/logos/941c2fc0ca4fd645d3cbd2fd656b348e.png) women's race ;
A breakaway group of 25 put around three minutes of space on the peloton after a wild day in the crosswinds as the race was hitting its pivotal moment. It’s always a good thing to have a teammate in the breakaway and DSM took full advantage. With 12K to go in the race, Jastrab and Georgi went to the front of the group and pushed the pace, causing a split.

The break was down to six riders, but included in that was sprint sensation Lorena Wiebes of SD Worx and classics specialist and defending race champion Elisa Balsamo of Trek-Segafredo.
For the DSM duo, there was still more work to do. They needed to make it a hard finish.

The next move came with just over 7K to go. Jastrab once again went to the front and ramped it up, but Georgi hung back at the end of the line. Jastrab gave a flick of the elbow, but had no takers to assist on the pacemaking. That’s when Georgi pounced.

The 22-year-old British rider counter attacked and that move proved to be winning moment of the race. Balsamo tried to respond, but didn’t have the legs. The remaining riders in the group failed to get organized and Georgi rode off to glory, scoring her first-career WorldTour victory by one minute, 10 seconds over the rest of the bunch. Balsamo beat out Wiebes in a sprint to the line for second.

The 3 top favorites were clearly the best and sprinted for victory ; 1st van Aert, 2nd van der Poel, 3rd Pogačar.

After an exciting final 30km with a very active Evenepoel, it came down to a sprint of a reduced peleton.
Groves got a flat tire with about 3 km to go, switched bike with a teammate, returned to the high-speed-peleton, and won !!!

A superior van Aert attacked on the Kemmelberg with 50km to go, and only his teammate Laporte could follow.

(https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/logos/8a41e7a21a3a41b0ca26dde53fe45ebe.png)  Realini wins the sprint-a-deux by photo-finish versus new GC leader van Vleuten.

Realini could profit by staying continously in the wheel of long-distance-attacker van Vleuten, in a stage where a lot happened.
The main "event" was early in the race where SD Worx, with Vollering in the red yersey, took a wrong moment for a sanitary stop
and immediately after caught in crosswinds what increased the gap to the attacking rival teams.
Vollering now 2nd GC on 1:11" Tomorrow the final stage with a decisive, very brutal climb & summit finish on Lagos de Covadonga.

It's such a pity about Vollering. I was really looking forward to the battle between Vollering and van Vleuten in Lagos de Covadonga. Now with 1:11 difference it's not so interesting.

Will Remco wear the pick all the way to Rome?

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on May 07, 2023, 11:07:44 AM

Agreed, but I still hope it is going to be some kind of battle between the GC contenders.
Especially because Vollering and her team are extra motivated after yesterday,
also because they did not believe the explanation of van Vleuten that the attack was already planned due to expected cross winds.
At least, that was what ( the always emotional ) Vollering more or less said in an interview after the race.

I guess today there will be a lot of envy and grudge in the peleton and I expect that they will made it hard for van Vleuten.
But then again, a hard race with early attacks is normally in favor of van Vleuten, who likes very hard high-pace races.
And the gap of 1:11" is huge / normally way too much.
But you never know in cycling, if van Vleuten has a bad day, she can lose minutes in the brutal final climb. Although I do not expect this.

And yes, perhaps Evenepoel can wear the pink jersey in all stages, what did not happen since Gianni Bugno in 1990.
But I saw also an interview of Evenepoel right after the race, were he sort of mentioned the plan to lose the jersey after some stages.
And that plan was made before the time trial, so, he certainly is confident, fully prepared, and feeling top.
Of course, he did better in the time trial as he planned, or maybe better said, the rivals did less good as he planned.
And now with the relative big time gap, there is for sure a possibility that he can wear the pink jersey in all stages.
But it is a big tour and it is just started, so anything can still happen ( hopefully no abandon ), and especially the last week is very hard.

Although, looking at Remco's great performances in for example LBL and this stage 1 time trial,
it very well could be a "boring" Giro with one much better than the rest and therefore no GC battle for the victory.
And an attacking Evenepoel is not needed now, due to his big lead after stage 1,
so, unfortunately, I do not expect such a great, exciting battle between Roglic and Evenepoel such as in Catalunya.

Well, in case we get a "boring" Giro, we always have the CFF League to make this Giro more exciting to us.  ;)

Post by: ophiuko on May 07, 2023, 01:12:11 PM

They just said on TV there was a mistake on the timing yesterday and McNulty didn't win the KOM, I think it was switched to Geoghegan Hart. I don't know if this will change anything on WCS, but I guess they will have to correct it. I think no one picked McNulty anyway.

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on May 07, 2023, 01:42:03 PM

WCS just fixed this a few minutes ago, and gives now Geoghegan Hart as leader of the mountain classification.
In the CFF League nothing has changed yet, maybe the fix is still in progress ?

And indeed, nobody picked McNulty, but as you can see when you click "most picked" on the CFF League page,
Geoghegan Hart is picked 10x, and those 10 CFF participants ( click symbol of H2H to see the 10 ) might have one/ a few points more now.
The solution is probably simple, because I assume the rankings will be ( automatically ) accurate again after the stage 2 update.

Title: Re: WCS 2023

Lagos de Covadonga was quite exciting after all. First with Van Vleuten calling the support car but not using it (I still don't know why), and then when Van Vleuten was dropped from Vollering and Realini. If you think about it, Vollering didn't win La Vuelta by 9 seconds because of a pee.

I'm sure the battles between these three are going to be really fun in Giro and Tour.

Quote from: ophiuko on May 08, 2023, 12:19:26 PM

First with Van Vleuten calling the support car but not using it (I still don't know why)

I was curious about this too, and I searched extensive for the answer but could not find it.
Also because a Dutch reporter did not do his job well, because in a 4 minutes interview with van Vleuten after the race,
half of the interview was about the final climb and the Dutch reporter did not ask about it.
Weird, because his live-reporter-colleagues were speculating a lot about this issue during the race,
and were wondering too why van Vleuten seemed desperately to ask for her support car.

So, even after my search with the advantage that I understand Dutch, I still don't know why because nobody asked van Vleuten.

During the race, the main speculation was that it seemed that van Vleuten was not happy with the tire pressure,
what would explain her once jumping up and down a bit with one tire, and it looked like that she wanted a bike change.
But due to the increasing pace of Vollering, it was not a good moment to do that. According to the speculating live reporters.

In my opinion what is also speculation ; if she really had tire pressure issue,
she could and would have changed her bike in a later phase of the race, for example when she was isolated.
I guess that she was very nervous and was trying to find causes why her legs did not feel like yesterday,
and the reason, in just my opinion, was that she was had no superlegs anymore due to the big effort in previous stage.
Maybe she needed the support car to reassure/comfort her that her tire pressure was fine, and that she had simply no super legs.

But just like you, ophiuko, I still don't know why and there could be a number of explanations to this mystery.
She did mention in the interview that she was very nervous when the climb started
what would be an excellent opportunity for the interviewer to ask her about this issue, but he did not ask, what is pretty stupid.
We should have known why the Vuelta winner called the support car in the last climb that even was decisive for GC victory.
Instead, we have a mystery now = very weird. Hopefully the media do a much better job in the other women's tours of this season.

A very fierce, insane-high-pace battle in the first half( ! ) of this stage, because most cyclists wanted to be in the break away.
Finally there was a break away group, and out of these 7, two cyclists attacked successfully on the last climb.

A break away of 3 battled for stage victory. D.Bais won on the final climb, the very steep Gran Sasso.
The GC contenders took some kind of rest day in this mountain stage, what could have had a spectacular final.

Every GC contender seems to have this "strategy" ; save energy now, in order to "win" a lot of time on Evenepoel in Sunday's time trial. ???

(https://i.imgur.com/x4fF7Gu.png)  again Vollering wins, this time by outsprinting the approx. 11 others of the front group.

CFF League stage 2 winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/nl.png) Vos  :)
Vos is the GC leader with 1 more mountain stage to go, including the famous climb Jaizkibel, known from Classica San Sebastian.

(https://i.imgur.com/jbZCXJt.jpg)  Voisard claimed the first pro win of his young career,
attacking out of a much reduced leading group and holding off the chase to win on the category 1 climb at Dobogókő.
The 24yo surged just as the last two riders of the day-long breakaway came into view and rode the pair off his wheel
and won the stage by 10 seconds ahead of the group of favorites.
Including GC leader Hirschi, who came under attack repeatedly from Ineos Grenadiers
but managed to match off the surges and keep the GC lead by 10 seconds over Tulett.
Stage winner Voisard moved up to 3rd GC, what probably will be the final GC, because the last stage 5 is a flat sprint race.

CFF League stage 4 winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/nl.png) Patrick Kok  8)
Patrick Kok is still the GC leader with 1 more stage to go.

(https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/logos/8ed052732fddd78a1b24c0eb2887c9f6.png) An impressive solo victory of Healy, who attacked out of the break away with 50(!)km to go.
And there was GC action ; Roglič attacked with 4 km to go, he and the 2 Ineos teamcaptains won 14 seconds on Evenepoel.

Yes, I just read the latest news about the Tour de Hongrie.
In fact, it is neutralized ; originally it was 15 laps, but they still ride 8 laps on the ( due to rain ) slippery roads in Budapest.
However, no points, no time differences, and not even a winner of this weird neutralized 8 laps "race" will be pointed out.
I guess this is a strange effort of the organisation to keep the fans and ( especially ) the sponsors satisfied,
and I guess the roads are not slippery enough to cycle on, but too slippery to race on.

An alternative route with neutralized start in Budapest and then outside Budapest a ( short ) real sprint race + finish,
would have been a better solution, in my opinion.
Assuming that the roads outside Budapest are not too slippery to race on. Streets in big cities often can be too slippery after rain.

Well, after this Hungarian (slippery-)soap-episode ; now all focus is on Vollering and Evenepoel. :)

I find it suspicious as I think the rules don't force you to leave with a Covid positive. Also, he won today so he shouldn't have any symptoms, and tomorrow is rest day, he could have always waited and see how he was after tomorrow. Opinions?

As I understand it from the media ; the rule = positive covid test = immediate forced abandonment of the Giro.
Symptons or not, does not matter to this rule.

By now, already a lot of cyclists are forced out of the Giro due to a positive covid test.
And what a bummer that it happened to GC leader Evenepoel.
Still 2 more weeks to go, and with this average of positive covid tests in the first week, we should expect more "victims"/surprises/bummers.

Rigoberto Uran also abandoned due to Covid. Media are reporting that there isn't any rule that forces cyclists to abandon after a positive test. It is up to the team to decide. I don't understand why they didn't wait to see how he felt after the resting journey and maybe even racing on Tuesday. He posted a message just after winning the TT saying that he will be back on Tuesday, so for sure he wasn't feeling sick or having symptoms. He won the stage and got the pink! I've never seen a cyclist abandoning in the leader jersey the day before a rest day. Even when they are feeling sick or when they just had a bad crash, they usually at least try just in case. Something doesn't make sense.

They should stop doing covid tests. It doesn't make sense anymore.

It appears that the team felt the he wasn't going to make it, and possibly made the announcement quickly so as to not have rumours.
Of course I don't think it's official until he doesn't show up for stage 10.

I cannot find anything that the team felt like he was not going to make it, also not when I click your link.
And even if the team felt that way, it does not make sense to me that they made a fast decision out of fear for rumours.
The logical, normal, professional thing to do, was to wait at least till the rest day is over, before making a team decision.

I noticed that all abandoned cyclists due to positive covid tests, get an official DNS ( does not start ).
Maybe an indication that it is a team decision,
because if it would be an official Giro- or UCI rule of positive test = immediate forced abandon,
then, according to me, it would be more logical that such a cyclist gets an official DNQ ( does not qualify ), instead of a DNS.
Further more, I cannot imagine that the eager Evenepoel agrees with such a weird fast team decision.

I'm confused, and something does not make sense, also about many other abandoned cyclists due to positive covid tests,
because if it all were team decisions, many were questionable, in my opinion.

Evenepoel wins stage 9, the flat time trial of 35 km. And barely, because Thomas on 0:01" and Geoghegan Hart on 0:02"
Of course, the big news was hours later ; GC leader Evenepoel abandoned the Giro due to a positive covid test.

The CFF League is not adjusted yet to the latest news, and therefore the current GC ranking in the CFF League is not accurate.
But I expect just little differences, because everyone picked Evenepoel, and Urán ( also out due to positive covid test ) is just 4x picked.
So, the stage 9 winner + current classification leaders ( none of them picked Urán ) seem to me for 99,99% undisputed on this first rest day.

Ok, finally it is clear to me after seeing a sports program on Dutch TV ; you are right, ophiuko, it is a team decision.

Out of all abandoned cyclists so far in this Giro, 7 were abandoned due to a positive covid test.
There were more cases one day or a few days before the Giro started, for example Jumbo-Visma replaced a few cyclists due to positive tests.
There was one cyclist who tested positive somewhere in the past days, but his team decided that he could go on with racing in the Giro.
I think it was a Wanty-cyclist, but I'm not sure from which team he was, or his name, by then I was not watching tv intensively enough.

Dacht vanmiddag al bij interview; Evenepoel heeft zijn jeugdige elan eraf gereden in deze tijdrit.

Covid is dus de boosdoener.

Maar moeten renners nog wel afstappen als ze geen klachten hebben? Lijkt nu alsof Covid allee nog maar in wielrennen bestaat.


I understand that it was a decision of Evenepoel rather than a team decision. Maybe he will speak in the future. He couldn't be that bad if he just won a stage, no matter it was TT, if you just won a stage in a grand tour, you are good enough to at least try the next day.

Thanks for your contribution, ophiuko.
All still a bit questionable to me, although I understand that the health-risk of cyclists should be as minimum as possible.

Well, let's hope that Evenepoel declares in the next few days that he wants to win the Tour de France ( = maybe my wishfull thinking )
then we have something to look out for ( battle of at least 3 supertop cyclists ), while we are watching this a bit devalued Giro.
And let's hope that no other GC contenders get a positive covid test, so far the average = 7x abandon due to covid in 1 week.
A few days ago I saw an interview with an INEOS team manager, and during the interview he had a few suspicious coughs. ::)

At least this covid situation has a bright side for every CFF League participant ;
still everyone can win this Giro, possibly the favorite will be the one with the least abandoned cyclists. :)

(https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/logos/9a05c5ef0c5e9b66cd91cc4877a0c7c5.png)  20yo top talent Grégoire punched his way to his first pro-victory.

DNS in stage 2 is De Lie ( picked by 71,4 % ), who crashed hard yesterday, but despite injuries, he managed to finish stage 1.
After being examinated at a hospital, it was way more severe as thought ;
De Lie suffered a pneumothorax, alongside a fractured collarbone, rib and one in the sternum as well.

CFF League stage 2 winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/es.png) Vlominck  8)
ophiuko is still the GC leader with 4 more stages to go.

There was a nasty downhill crash, among them the top 3 GC, and Geoghegan Hart ( 10x picked ) has abandoned with major injuries.
Also in the final there was a crash, so, maybe a few more cyclists do not start tomorrow.
This sprint stage was won by Ackermann.

Yesterday I missed the very bad crash of Oscar Rodríguez ( 1x picked ) who smashed hard into a road sign ánd a house.
Also immediately taken to hospital by ambulance.
And it remains to be seen whether Sivakov ( 0x picked ) and Gaviria ( 10x picked ) will start today. Both no fractures, but heavy crashes.

Tomorrow a very brutal mountain stage, what "normally" causes some abandoned cyclists, for example sprinters who give up.
And for those who were involved in heavy crashes, it will be a ( too ? ) hard day also.
Besides this all, I expect that there will be more drop outs due to positive covid tests. And this catastrophic Giro is just halfway.

Unfortunately no GC action in this mountain stage.
But the battle in the breakaway was exciting and fun to watch, especially on the final climb between Pinot and Cepeda.
But it was a 3-man-group, and after every attack, Rubio fought his way back to the two, and even won with the quickest sprint.

Balsamo***** was picked by everyone, and 4x predicted as GC winner.

With 1½ km to go there was a hard crash, what took out some potential stage winners, for example Kool and Consonni.
I'm not sure, but it seems there were no consequences and all involved in the crash, can start today.
A very downsized first group sprinted for victory on the slightly uphill finish ; Dygert won. Kool still GC leader due to the 3 km rule.

Bad news at Tour de Suisse. Apparently Sheffield and Mader crashed badly during the last descent and the swiss is in critical condition. Let's hope he recovers!

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on June 16, 2023, 02:10:00 AM

Unfortunately I had no time to watch cycling ( only saw final 5 km of Belgium Tour ), so I missed this news, thanks for noticing it, ophiuko.

As I understand it ;
It was a high speed descent, almost 100 kmph( ! ), and then there was the relevant, infamous turn. 
Sheffield had too much speed to make that turn and he fell 20 meters down in the ravine.
A short moment later, the same happened to Mäder, who lay unconscious half in the water, and had to be resuscitated on the spot.

(https://i.imgur.com/SZ4sMIn.jpg)

Hopefully Mäder will be fine, but the picture of the ravine looks grim with those rocks and the big drop on high speed.
I have no news about his condition, but I assume it is not good after such a horrible crash.

Mäder was picked by everyone, and Sheffield was 3x picked.
Other TdS "news" that I just found out ; Jay Vine ( 6x picked ) did not finish in previous stage 4, due to a crash.

Also I just read this cycling news ;
24 riders disqualified from u23 Giro d'Italia, for holding on to vehicles on the Stelvio.

Post by: ophiuko on June 16, 2023, 09:00:08 AM

I watched the Tour de Suisse stage and they never said anything about Mader and Sheffield, nor showed the crash. The commentators didn't know about it. I saw the descent and there weren't many turns but near the end there was an U turn right after a very long straight road, so I guess it happened there. Still no news about Mader which is not good.

I read about the DSQ riders yesterday, here is a picture of some of them that got caught:

Post by: Vos on June 17, 2023, 07:38:12 AM

The tragedy of Mäder's death :'(, happened a little bit differently than how I initially understood it with very limited information at that time.
This is where he crashed ( first 2 pictures ).
And of course, yesterday stage 6 was cancelled, instead a short tribute-to-Gino-Mäder-parade ( the 3rd picture ).

Vos is still the GC leader with 1 more stage to go, a time trial of 35,7 km.
I notice that there are no penalty points anymore in the CFF League of this TdS. Probably on purpose, and in my opinion understandable.

Adam Yates wins the twinbrothers-battle, and his teammate Pogačar finished as 3rd by winning the sprint of the chasing group.
GC contenders Mas*****( 4x picked ) and Carapaz*( 21x picked ) crashed and are already out of this Tour de France.

Ups ! Somehow I made the mistake by thinking that the max. stars possible was 45 ! :-[
Animatoca used 48 stars, and edu5 used 49 stars. Everyone else did not make a mistake, and used the max. 50 stars.

Most picked as GC winner = 17x Pogačar versus 9x Vingegaard.
And no surprise that both are picked by everyone.

Here's a question.  Ignoring the crashers, if you could replace one of your cyclist (for one with equal or less points), who would you get rid of? And who would be their replacement?

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: ophiuko on July 02, 2023, 11:53:53 AM

Probably I would get rid of Biniam Girmay, despite his win in Suisse, his form doesn't seem to have improved compared to the rest of the season. I would replace him by Victor Lafay.

Either that or Van Aert by Adam Yates, I was already in doubt when I made my selection after he said that he won't be as competitive as last year and he won't fight the green jersey. On top of that, I read that he might leave the Tour early due to her wife giving birth. But even with all that, still not completely sure if I would replace him by Adam Yates.

Great start of this tour de france.

With these two stages ofc i would have taken different riders. But some of them are always a chance. Powless would have been awesome but who would have known for sure he was gonna take the mountain Jersey.

Well, I will ignore the by me picked Carapaz, but because I used 5 stars less, I can replace like this :
⭐ Johannessen & ⭐Alaphilippe --> replaced by = ⭐⭐ Lafay  & ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pidcock = finally 50 stars used !  :))

Pedersen wins the uphill sprint in stage 8.
In the picture the crash of Cavendish, who had to abandon the Tour.
With 6 km to go, there was another crash, what caused 47 seconds time loss to GC contenders S.Yates and Landa.
Both carried on to the finishline together with others involved, but Cras wasn't so lucky, also he had to abandon the Tour.

Here's what an emotional Bilbao said after winning stage 10 :

"We started the day full focus. Yesterday we checked the first 40 kilometres and we were expecting a hard race day after the rest day and in a critical moment I checked and we were in with five teammates in the first 20 riders so I just wanted to make the right group if it was possible with two riders. Matej [Mohorič] was attacking all the time, also Fred [Wright], Mikel [Landa], Wout [Poels], Jack [Haig].

"Everybody was trying to go, we were not just thinking in anything, just go full, full, full and at one point I saw the guys in Jumbo [Visma] needed to let one group and that was my opportunity, my chance to go. I knew that was going to be difficult before, but I just went for the right moment when everybody was on their limit and then at one point the time gap started to go down so we needed to go full in the front."

"Everybody was on the limit, Neilands did an impressive attack. I think he was the strongest one, but he spent a lot of energy with the hot wind in the face. In the back group, we just collaborated in the right way and then in the last 3 kilometres, I knew that was the fastest man in the group, so I just took he control, the responsibility."

"I closed the gap with O'Connor first and then, with cold blood, let Zimmermann make his sprint, go on the wheel and just full the last 200 metres without thinking of nothing. And then I crossed the line and I just put out all the energy that I had inside and remembering the reason of this victory."

"A special one, for Gino."

Out of the break away, Gall wins solo queen's stage 17.
In the picture ; a disillusioned, exhausted Pogačar crosses the finishline, after cracked halfway the brutal Col de la Loze.
Upcoming TdF victor Vingegaard did great and finished as 4th on 1:52", and his former rival Pogačar finished as 22nd on 7:37"

A very exciting battle between the peleton and the all-day-break-away ( Campenaerts, Asgreen, Abrahamsen and Eenkhoorn ).
The break-away outpowered ánd outsmarted the sprinting peleton, and Asgreen celebrated his first big tour stage victory.

A thrilling non-stop-attacking stage of the many cyclists who saw this as last opportunity in this Tour.
In the end a 3-man break-away was the strongest ;
O'Connor started the final sprint, but soon overtaken by the 2 others. Mohorič won versus Asgreen, but a photo finish was needed.

Pogačar outsprinted an elite group ( Gall, Vingegaard, and the Yates brothers ) and won this mountain stage 20.
Again a lot happened ;
C.Rodriguez and Kuss crashed hard early in the race.
Ciccone already secured the polka-dot-jersey before the last 2 brutal mountains.
Stage 2 winner Lafay had to abandon after a crash in the descent of the Petit Ballon.
In the picture ; in his last TdF,  local hero Pinot took the lead with a solo attack on the penultimate mountain.
And many more stories in this stage 20, including "little" stories, such as the almost retired Devenys celebrated his 40th birthday.

Wiebes ( picked by 75% and predicted as green jersey winner by 50% ) did not start due to a stomach problem.
Her teammate and GC leader Kopecky could have won this stage ; SD Worx is by far the strongest team, but often bad in tactics, i.m.o.

Their teamcaptain Vollering got a ( i.m.o. unjustified ) time penalty of 20 seconds, and because of that she dropped from 2nd to 7th GC.
If she loses this TdF by 0:20" or less, then it will be a questionable ( i.m.o. unreasonable ) jury decision that determines who wins this TdF.
Imagine this would happen in the men's TdF, if Pogačar or Vingegaard had this exact same situation, i.m.o. then certainly no time penalty.

What was the reason for the penalty? I'm on holidays and a bit disconnected this past week.

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on July 28, 2023, 02:07:11 PM

Vollering had a flat tire or mechanical breakdown on a moment that there was no action in the peleton.
She returned behind the team car, and the team manager who was driving the team car, decided to overtake other cars.
What was a risky move, as you can see in the link, and justified to give the team car driver a penalty for that risky move.
Despite it was rightenous to try to take the nr 1 spot again of all following team cars ( SD Worx has the yellow jersey = nr 1 spot ).

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi-6_6Wp7GAAxVv77sIHX0UBRUQuAJ6BAgGEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnos.nl%2Fcollectie%2F13936%2Fvideo%2F2484473-vollering-kleeft-aan-bumper-ploegleiderswagen-20-seconden-tijdstraf&usg=AOvVaw2ZVrXK0N_pXG_KHPJKoMYc&opi=89978449

I makes no sense to me that the cyclist is punished.
She had no advantage of this risky situation, what was caused by a mechanical breakdown.
It is not that she was far behind, and got a time penalty for following the team car too long, till they returned to the other cars.
The time penalty was given for the risky move of the team car driver.

More importantly = enjoy your holiday, ophiuko !  8)

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on July 28, 2023, 03:17:12 PM

Even when there was no team car,
Vollering was not far behind and could have easily returned on her own in this situation of a low pace peleton.
Dropping team mates to help her, was not even needed, but also an option and then even more easy to return.
Vollering had no advantage because of this incident, it would not have changed anything in the outcome of this TdF.
And normally a time penalty is given because of unjustified advantages.
In fact, now the jury decision of giving a time penalty, i.m.o. thát is thé competition falsification in this matter.

Title: Re: WCS 2023

When have the men had the team car go through the convoy as a pacer?  Answer is never.
They use the other team cars and are reminded not to spend too long behind a single car.
They made it that obvious a penalty had to be made.  Penalising the team car is pointless, the only penalty that matters is any against a rider.  And if they let it go, it would have green-lighted this type of activity.

I recall men cyclists being kicked off tours (not TdF) for much less significant offences a few years ago.  The only thing is the double standards of which male competitor.  One example was an Aussie cyclist who got kicked out of a tour after spectators blocked half the road & he went on the footpath for several hundred meters.  It was a straight road and he lost 50 places in the peloton, but they claimed he got an advantage.
That same week, the favoured Sagan on live broadcast took a deliberate shortcut through a town square because he was at the back of the peloton and needed to get to the front, and they ignored it.  That was actually the point in which I stopped watching the sport.

Yes, every split victory counts as one full victory for each.
The same for a split win, for example in the youth classification of the TdF men ;
2 youth jersey winners, you and ophiuko, and both get each +1 in the Prince of Youth Trophy.

And your great TdF-femmes victory is an excellent redemption for the last moment unfortunate drop in the GC of the TdF men.
The key to success was to pick Kopecky, she scored the most points. Only 2 CFF managers picked her, including you.

:))
Reading this, I'm wondering how you are going to try to achieve this.
Let's make a forum quiz about this :  :P  ;D  :-*

FORUM QUIZ :
HOW WILL OPHIUKO MAKE SURE THAT HIS NOT-PICKED CYCLISTS DO NOT FINISH THE RACE ?
Rules :
You can send as many answers as you want in this forum topic. Deadline = before the first WC race in 3 days and 11½ hours.
The winner will be appointed by the only juror = ophiuko himself.  :)

Participants forum quiz :

Vos = he will be serving his notorious Spanish-Scottish dish "haggis á la ophiuko" to everyone, except for his 15 picks,
then for sure everyone gets stomach problems and cannot finish the race.

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on August 02, 2023, 10:31:16 PM

Participants forum quiz :

Vos = ophiuko has booked hotel stays for hundreds of Scottish teenage girls, in the same hotels as the cyclists.
Each duo teenage girls gets the task from ophiuko, to harras one cyclist almost all night long.
With as consequence, that the cyclist is arrested by the Scottisch police, who is on the payroll of ophiuko too.
Of course, this answer only applies if ophiuko did not pick M. van der Poel.  ;)

Amazing race. I didn't think it was going to be that hard when the circuit was first published, but it seems the very short but hard hills of Glasgow were hell for all riders. The flat parts had so many sharp turns that there wasn't really much distance to close gaps after the hills. I kind of expected after watching yesterday's Junior races. At 90km to go, I could see in most riders faces that they were completely shattered. It was definitely not a race for sprinters. Women sprinters like Balsamo, Vos or Wiebes must be thinking twice if they should come next week.

If you want to see some videos, they are in the Discord chat.

(https://i.imgur.com/ke6uElK.png) women's time trial = 2nd Brown 0:05", 1st Dygert 0:00", 3rd C.Schweinberger 1:13"
A lot happened ;
Dygert almost decided not start due to illness in the past days, and on the race day she was still far from 100% with a cold.
In hinside, a good decision to start anyway, and a well-deserved victory after her horror crash in WC'20 and the years of recovery.
Another top favorite, Reusser, gave up after 15 km, probably due to injuries of her crash in the mixed TTT of a few days ago.
Also the u23 WC title was at stake in this elite time trial, won by Niedermaier who finished as 11th and 8 seconds before rival Kerboal.
And many more stories in this women's time trial, for example it would be a lot of fun if everyone started like the cyclist from Bermuda. :))

CFF League winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/es.png) ophiuko  8)

My last-minute-change of replacing Dygert ( because I read that she was ill ) ; very clear that this mistake costed me the victory.
The big favorite now to win the prestigious WC jersey of the CFF League, that is ophiuko, who need 1 more WC victory to secure it.
Also if the final 3 WC races will have 3 different winners, ophiuko will be the world champion of the CFF League.

It is between Mitte and ophiuko, all other CFF participants are already eliminated in the battle for the prestigious WC jersey.
ophiuko needs to win the final WC race to win the WC jersey.
If someone else wins the final WC race, then Mitte will be the 2023 world champion in the CFF League.

So, in the current situation, Mitte is thé top favorite, but ophiuko might be able to beat him due to his home advantage. :)
Good luck to both in the WC women's road race !

Tomorrow I'll be in the circuit again so I'll make sure that Mitte's riders won't finish the race  :P

Question for Vos: who would win the WC if Mitte and I both win the last race with the same number of points?

Title: Re: WCS 2023
Post by: Vos on August 12, 2023, 08:53:37 PM

If it will be a split victory between you and Mitte in the final WC race,
then for the first time ever there will be 2 WC jersey's = also a split victory in the World Championship Trophy.
Because the only rule = with an equal amount of victories, then who won as last, will be higher ranked.
And in this hypothetical situation, both won the last race ( with a spit victory ).

Are you on the same spot as last week ?
If not, let me know by pm, because it is fun to try to see you. Enjoy the race, ophiuko, and do not forget your umbrella !
edit ( to make it easier for me ) ; what is the colour of your umbrella ?  :)

Mads Pedersen rode a sensational final kilometre to take victory at the BEMER Cyclassics.

The Dane took drastic action when it looked as though the three-man breakaway of Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates), Nils Politt (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Yves Lampaert (Soudal-QuickStep) might survive to the finish, attacking out of the bunch several hundred metres from the line, then coming past them with his last ounce of strength to take victory.

Danny van Poppel (BORA-hansgrohe) finished fast from the peloton to take second, but not quite fast enough to edge Pedersen, while Elia Viviani (Ineos Grenadiers) was third.

CFF League winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/es.png) ophiuko  8)

(https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/logos/a9ab07c0615dcb2b7cf20d5894495337.png)  Foldager ( 22, DEN ) wins out of the break away.
Thé GC top favorite Staune-Mittet ( 21, NOR ) was involved in a massive crash early in this stage 1, and he had to abandon.
For the CFF League it does not matter much, because as only one, he was picked by everyone, and 88,9% predicted him as GC winner

The first teams started with a bit of rain and in daylight. The last teams had to ride in very wet ánd dark( ! ) circumstances.
Not only unfair due to time differences, but certainly also unfair due to the much higher risk that the last starting teams had.
Anyway ( and fortunately no abandonned favorites due to crashes ), one of the early started teams won ; Team DSM - Firmenich.

CFF League stage 1 winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/es.png) ophiuko  8)

(ok rant here)
How on earth did they think a twilight stage was the way to go?  Seriously?  I don't think this is the first time I've criticised this tour's planning.  Obviously they wanted prime time TV viewing plus whatever America picks up, however they highlight that they're not capable to doing this to an acceptable standard when weather or events aren't the perfect vision they have in their heads.  If they want to do these things, they need to consider what happens if it's wet or any other adverse weather events, and plan for these possibilities.  All they do is highlight that they're not close to TdF standard, as much as I'd like to set the tour knocked down a few pegs.
(rant over.  Hopefully this time it hasn't made much impact on the actual event)

A very exciting final mountain race.
Early in the race, Del Toro attacked with a few others on the Col de l'Iseran, and GC leader Riccitello could not follow.
On the next mountain, Riccitello could close the gap a bit, but he "blew himself up" and lost a lot of time on the final mountain.
Pellizzari ( 19, ITA ) won this stage, with as only one in his wheel ; the surprising victor of this Tour de l'Avenir, Del Toro.

In the pictures ; Del Toro in the leader's jersey & his great stage 6 victory of a few days ago.
Final GC =  1st Del Toro ( 19, MEX ) 0:00",  2nd Pellizzari ( 19, ITA ) 1:13",  3rd Piganzoli ( 21, ITA ) 1:42"

The final stage seemed to turn out into a peleton sprint.
But with 700 meters to go, while the lead outs were at full pace, Ludwig had a very explosive solo attack and won by 5 seconds !
Together with the gained boni-seconds, she almost won the GC but still came 2 seconds short to beat van Vleuten.

In the picture the final GC =  2nd Ludwig 0:02",  1st van Vleuten 0:00",  3rd Kraak 0:33"
The very last victory of the amazing van Vleuten !
She will ride one more tour, and retires after that Simac Ladies Tour, what will be more like a "farewell-parade" without really competing.

Bowing to rider and team pressure, race organisers announced that the general classification time was taken with 9km to go
due to the weather making the loop around Montjuic too dangerous in the wet conditions.
Piccolo is the new GC leader, because he was in a 2-man break away with 9 km to go, enough seconds ahead to gain the red jersey.
But it took some time before it was official, and the GC finish line with 9 km to go, was not even on TV.

GC leader Kopecky wins stage 5. How it unfolded :

The Queen stage of the Simac Ladies Tour started and and finished in Valkenburg and was essentially a mini Amstel Gold Race, with a finish on the famous Cauberg climb.

TdF winner Vollering did not start due to illness. And there were more cyclists with a DNS before- or a DNF after- this race.

In the first half of the race, there were multiple attacks from the peloton trying to establish a breakaway, but none were successful, so the peloton was complete for a long time. With 63km to go, there was a large crash, which took Riejanne Markus (Jumbo-Visma) out of the race.

With 55km to go, Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar), in her penultimate race day of her career, made a move and brought race leader Lotte Kopecky with her as well as Kasia Niewiadoma. They were later joined by Pfeiffer Georgi (dsm-firmenich) and Lorena Wiebes and with 50km to go, Niewiadoma and Georgi made a move by themselves and established a gap over the others.

On the first ascent of the Cauberg, they were caught by the peloton and another group of six riders managed to get away. On the second time up the Cauberg, the break was again caught before another group managed to get away with 8km to go. Floortje Mackaij, Elise Uijen (dsm-firmenich), Quinty Schoens (Parkhotel Valkenburg), Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) and Elena Cecchini (SD Worx) started to work together, but the pace wasn’t enough for Mackaij who went off the front on her own.

She lead going onto the final ascent of the Cauberg but the peloton behind had gained back enough ground and this provided another launchpad for an attack by Kopecky, Niewiadoma and Wiebes. These three seemed fairly equal on the climb but eventually it was Kopecky who proved the strongest and led home an SD Worx 1-2, with Wiebes second on the stage. Kopecky maintains her GC lead going into the final stage and looks set to win the race barring any mishaps.

I'm currently 10th in all of WCS for Spain.  Not a lot of points difference between 10th & 135th (Foeke), so I figure I'll do a little self-boasting promo whilst I'm actually up there because it's unlikely I'll be there at the end.

An epic battle of all GC contenders on the mythical Alto de l'Angliru.
But it was again Jumbo-Visma domination ;
Roglič won, in his wheel Vingegaard, and on 0:19" Kuss finished as 3rd, by outsprinting Landa.
Kuss is still the GC leader, but Vingegaard now on just 0:08". Most likely there will be a final GC podium with 3x Jumbo-Visma.

Too soon to tell if you might have a chance to beat all other 2.703 WCS participants. It would be super great if you win, good luck !
And some "AA promotion" on my part ;  :)
never before someone in the CFF League won all 3 different big tours,
and if you win this Vuelta in the CFF League, you will be the very first CFF participant to accomplish this unique achievement.  8)

I'm pleased to have managed above mediocre for the first time in how many years.  Patrick Kok, Foeke, and others still clearly have superior recent records and will be seeking to be top of the table by the end of next year, but for now I can do the king of the table dance.

I think it is very sad for cycling in general that one team takes all places in a GC podium of a grand tour.  :'( Does anyone else think there is something shady with Jumbo Visma? I was already thinking it since Vingegaard's TT at TdF.

No I don’t, because it’s explainable. The problem is with the other teams, they need to step up and change their approach. Jumbo is miles ahead with every aspect of the game. They don’t leave anything up to chance.

I wonder why you think it’s shady though, maybe you can explain?

I don't think you can have a "the best TTer of all times" performance in a TT in the TdF, and then not using these TT skills for any other race (including TT WC), any other year. Either you have these skills or you don't and a topform doesn't push you from being a top10-top5 TTer to the best of all times. Maybe top a top3 or winning, but not winning with 3 min advantage over other top TTers. I didn't believe it when it happen, still don't believe and I don't think there is an explanation that will make it believe it. If Vingegaard shows up in a TT WC and wins it, then I'll start believing.

It is true that Roglic and Vingegaard in theory should have been (as they were) much better than all their rivals. Kuss gained a great advantage in the stage where he was in the breakaway, but still after that he was the third best climber, better than all the other rivals that supposedly had prepared La Vuelta better and hadn't riden Giro and Tour. Anyway, I admit that Kuss's performance is believable. I agree that Jumbo Visma's tactics and technical aspects during the races are way better than other teams'.

I don't think you can have a "the best TTer of all times" performance in a TT in the TdF, and then not using these TT skills for any other race (including TT WC), any other year. Either you have these skills or you don't and a topform doesn't push you from being a top10-top5 TTer to the best of all times. Maybe top a top3 or winning, but not winning with 3 min advantage over other top TTers. I didn't believe it when it happen, still don't believe and I don't think there is an explanation that will make it believe it. If Vingegaard shows up in a TT WC and wins it, then I'll start believing.

It is true that Roglic and Vingegaard in theory should have been (as they were) much better than all their rivals. Kuss gained a great advantage in the stage where he was in the breakaway, but still after that he was the third best climber, better than all the other rivals that supposedly had prepared La Vuelta better and hadn't riden Giro and Tour. Anyway, I admit that Kuss's performance is believable. I agree that Jumbo Visma's tactics and technical aspects during the races are way better than other teams'.

Didn't see your message till now.

Now you're talking about something different, the TT performance of Vingegaard. Okay I can agree on that one, I was absolutaly amazed by that performance since I didn't expect that one. BUT after seeing an analyzing video from an Youtuber I could understand how it was possible, but I still can't believe the big time gaps, so on that single stage I agree with you. Some factors to take in consideration: it was more a climb TT than a flat TT, in this kind of TT's you always expect Vingegaard, Roglic, Pogacar and Evenepoel in front of the TT specialist (Cavanga in the top 10 was actually weirder to me than Vingegaard winning). Also Vingegaard is a more technical rider than people think, his bike handling skills are amazing. He won 1 sec in almost all corners in that TT, and it was a very technical TT, the anlayzing video showed this. Also the TT bike of Jumbo is better than the one from UAE, also all small factors (like a lot of bikes on the roof of the following car), testing etc. It's all better in the Jumbo team and in TT's that has the most influence. Also it was a TT in the 3th week which favors Vingegaard, Vingegaard seems to recover better than all other riders which makes him the most dangerous GC guy. In top form he is a top 10 TT rider and in the 3th week I think only Evenepoel, Ganna en Pogacar can challenge him in a TT, he proved this 2 years in a row now. So that he won is not that shocking to me (I even predicted him as stage winner in a TdF poule), but I agree the difference was insane and hard to believe.

And do I think Vingegaard can become WC ITT champion? Yes absolutely, just like Roglic could win the Olympic TT. But not a flat one against Ganna/Evenepoel. A technical one with climbing in it he can win in peak form.

And to see 3 guys on a podium in a GT is weird yes. But normally Remco would've been between them, and Pogacar wasn't there. The other riders are simply not on the level of Roglic and Vingegaard. Kuss was a surprise, escpecially in his 3th! grand tour, that he could climb with the best was known. But his Vuelta win was a big surprise for me. But yeah, I do think it's believable. Maybe I'm wrong, time will tell, but for know I don't see reason to not trust that team.

It seems like WCS organisers are on holidays these days. They have included only 1 of the 15 ProSeries classics programmed for September and October, giving me zero chance to come back in the Chief of Classics Trophy because only 2 classics programmed (Lombardia and Paris-Tours)  :'( Hopefully I will have chances for the Divine Champions Trophy

A thrilling peleton sprint in stage 6, where, due to the boni-seconds, also the GC victory was at stake for Aular, Kristoff and Hayter.
GC leader Aular was in 2nd position with just 200 meters to go, but he crashed hard as only one of the peleton.
Hayter was not good enough / positioned too far behind, but Kristoff sprinted for stage victory ánd GC victory.
But Kristoff finished as 2nd because Stewart was much faster and celebrated his very first pro-victory.
The unfortunate and injured Aular walked to the finishline, but he won the GC, his biggest victory of his career.
Final GC = 1st Aular 0:00", 2nd Kristoff 0:03", 3rd Hayter 0:07"

Oh nooo !  Despite winning the final stage, I lost the GC lead, and Mitte won ( due to more GC points ) with just 2 points.  :'( :o :))
This could be decisive in the Divine Champions Trophy ;
ophiuko has the same total of tour victories, but he is leading because he won as last ( Langkawi ).
Hopefully the tours in Türkiye and/or Guangxi will be opened to join, then I have still chance to win the most prestigious season trophy.

Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan) took a stunning solo win on stage 3 of the Tour of Turkey finishing alone on the brutally-difficult summit finish at Babadag, ahead of German Ben Zwiehoff (Bora-Hansgrohe).

The Kazakh National Champion and former Tour de France stage winner dropped Zwiehoff near to the finish of the mammoth 18-kilometre ascent to seize both the day’s honours and the overall lead.

Zwiehoff came home around 20 seconds back while Harold Tejada (Astana Qazaqstan) finished third on the eight-day race's toughest single climb, which took around an hour to tackle.

Astana and Bora shredded the remnants of the peloton by half way up the Babadag, with Lutsenko biding his time for one major, stage-winning acceleration less than one kilometre from the line.

“That last climb was incredible, the longest I’ve done in my career and very hard, but I’m happy with my result,” Lutsenko, the winner of the Summer Asian Games time trial in Hangzhou, China less than a week before the start of Turkey, said afterwards.

“It was hard for me on stage 1 and stage 2 because I was still recovering from travelling here from China, but today went well.”

Asked if he could now keep the lead all the way to the finish next Sunday, Lutsenko - second overall and a stage winner in Turkey back in 2018 -  pointed out that “today is just stage 3, tomorrow is hard. I’m very happy I won here, but I’ll give it everything to take it overall as well."

With sprinters like former race leader Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) way out of the picture for the daunting final ascent of Babadag, Astana Qazaqstan, and then Bora-Hansgrohe, led a peloton of 30 riders to the foot of the ascent.  Despite a very early move by Alexis Guerin (Bingoal-WB), given the sheer length of the climb, Bora put down a steady rather than searing pace to ensure the French all-rounder was kept under control.

Riding through intense, late afternoon heat, UAE Team Emirates added their support on the relentlessly demanding slopes thanks to Domen Novak, while Guerin, impressively, continued to forge on as sole leader. The tougher middle segment then squeezed the main group down to just nine, and there was a surprise when one top favourite Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) abruptly disappeared from the running, forcing Novak to drop back to lend support.

UAE’s virtual self-destruction all but coincided with Guerin being caught by a four-man group containing Florian Lipowitz, Zwiehoff (both Bora-hansgrohe), Lutsenko and Tejada (both Astana Qazaqstan). Guerin stubbornly swung on and off the back of the group but it was abundantly clear these four riders, all tied on GC at 24 seconds before the stage, were the main candidates for the win.

The final attacks began in the last 8km when the riders hit a lengthy cobbled section, as Zwiehoff made a sustained charge that caused his teammate Lipowitz to struggle. Tejada responded in kind, and a much briefer acceleration followed by Lutsenko on the rougher, twisting, surfaces near the summit. However, even with the ramps rearing up to 18% in places, initially neither of the Astana riders seemed able to keep Lipowitz completely at bay.

When Tejada definitively settled into a team worker’s role, it proved something of a game changer, the Astana duo finally seeing off Lipowitz. Zwiehoff accelerated away 2km from the summit, but his eagerness proved a two-edged weapon as Tejada fell behind but Lutsenko refused to be shaken off.

The Kazakh’s canny racing and ability to calculate his strength ultimately proved too much for Lipowitz to handle as Lutsenko then slowly hauled himself away from the German in the last 800 metres, conquering one of road cycling's toughest ascents as he did so.

The Tour of Guangxi that starts today, is deleted from the WCS calendar.
Remarkable, because it has the highest WT ranking for a little tour, equal to for example Paris-Nice and the Dauphiné.

Well, I assume the Tour of Turkey ( with a lower WT ranking ) is the very final race of this season 2023.

And despite it is just halfway and there are 4 more stages to go,
it seems to me bad news to ophiuko, because I estimate that I have a better chance to win the Tour of Turkey.
But you never know what will happen in the remaining stages.
And I really have to win this last tour, if not and someone else wins, ophiuko wins the Divine Champions Trophy.

The good news to ophiuko is that he is the mountain classification leader in  Turkey ;
Kalarratas is leading in the King of the Mountains Trophy, but ophiuko and me are just one MC-jersey-win behind,
so it will be decided in this Tour of Turkey who will be the 2023 King of the Mountains.

Current MC classification Tour of Turkey between the 3 contenders who still can be the 2023 King of the Mountains =
1. ophiuko       69
2. Vos              61
4. Kalarratas   10

(https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/logos/af15396898e20061a9f6837040eddd1c.png)  the surprising victor of sprint stage 5 is Denz, who was even riding in a lead-out role.

CFF League stage 5 winner = (https://www.worldcyclingstats.com/img/flags/small/nl.png) Vos  :)
Vos is still the GC leader with 3 more stages to go.
And ophiuko has a very big lead in the MC now, because Vine scored mountains points in a long-distance-2-men-break-away.

Vos is still the GC leader with a huge gap towards ophiuko, who moved up to 2nd GC with this stage victory.
2 more stages to go, and a very good chance that I will win this tour, what causes winning the Divine Champions Trophy.  :)
It seems certain that ophiuko will win the MC classification in this tour, what causes winning the King of the Mountains Trophy.  8)

You're welcome, Ophiuko.  :)
And congratulations with your 2 season trophies.  8) 8)
Nice that I was able "to make up for it", now with a "4-2 win", after previous season's "4-2 defeat" against you.  ;)

Although, the jerseys are season trophies as well, so the correct order = 4-2-2-1-1 ; in previous season it was 4-2-1-1-1-1-1.

I don't think you can have a "the best TTer of all times" performance in a TT in the TdF, and then not using these TT skills for any other race (including TT WC), any other year. Either you have these skills or you don't and a topform doesn't push you from being a top10-top5 TTer to the best of all times. Maybe top a top3 or winning, but not winning with 3 min advantage over other top TTers. I didn't believe it when it happen, still don't believe and I don't think there is an explanation that will make it believe it. If Vingegaard shows up in a TT WC and wins it, then I'll start believing.

It is true that Roglic and Vingegaard in theory should have been (as they were) much better than all their rivals. Kuss gained a great advantage in the stage where he was in the breakaway, but still after that he was the third best climber, better than all the other rivals that supposedly had prepared La Vuelta better and hadn't riden Giro and Tour. Anyway, I admit that Kuss's performance is believable. I agree that Jumbo Visma's tactics and technical aspects during the races are way better than other teams'.

Didn't see your message till now.

Now you're talking about something different, the TT performance of Vingegaard. Okay I can agree on that one, I was absolutaly amazed by that performance since I didn't expect that one. BUT after seeing an analyzing video from an Youtuber I could understand how it was possible, but I still can't believe the big time gaps, so on that single stage I agree with you. Some factors to take in consideration: it was more a climb TT than a flat TT, in this kind of TT's you always expect Vingegaard, Roglic, Pogacar and Evenepoel in front of the TT specialist (Cavanga in the top 10 was actually weirder to me than Vingegaard winning). Also Vingegaard is a more technical rider than people think, his bike handling skills are amazing. He won 1 sec in almost all corners in that TT, and it was a very technical TT, the anlayzing video showed this. Also the TT bike of Jumbo is better than the one from UAE, also all small factors (like a lot of bikes on the roof of the following car), testing etc. It's all better in the Jumbo team and in TT's that has the most influence. Also it was a TT in the 3th week which favors Vingegaard, Vingegaard seems to recover better than all other riders which makes him the most dangerous GC guy. In top form he is a top 10 TT rider and in the 3th week I think only Evenepoel, Ganna en Pogacar can challenge him in a TT, he proved this 2 years in a row now. So that he won is not that shocking to me (I even predicted him as stage winner in a TdF poule), but I agree the difference was insane and hard to believe.

And do I think Vingegaard can become WC ITT champion? Yes absolutely, just like Roglic could win the Olympic TT. But not a flat one against Ganna/Evenepoel. A technical one with climbing in it he can win in peak form.

And to see 3 guys on a podium in a GT is weird yes. But normally Remco would've been between them, and Pogacar wasn't there. The other riders are simply not on the level of Roglic and Vingegaard. Kuss was a surprise, escpecially in his 3th! grand tour, that he could climb with the best was known. But his Vuelta win was a big surprise for me. But yeah, I do think it's believable. Maybe I'm wrong, time will tell, but for know I don't see reason to not trust that team.

I just read about Michael Hessmann. Do you still think the same?

Why would that change my point of view on Roglic/Vingegaard?
