Fak won a World Cup last year

He just needs the frenchies to shit the bed again and the Norwegians to feel lost without the Bøs

Would be great to see

Even if just for the Olympic relay

Jakob Fak will win a gold in Milan, I have blind faith

Plus maybe Lampic has learnt how to shoot

I really wouldn’t be surprised if he is still part of the team ane refusing to comment on something that should be a yes or no is odd.

But you can’t go “they didn’t comment so that means x definitely is the case”
November 25, 2025 at 2:54 PM
That doesn’t mean he is still in the team, it just means they didn’t respond to the BBC.

Chances are hé is still in the team, but that statement is far from confirmation either way

I find it telling that is is less common is areas where there are more tourists.

I have always noticed that Zwarte Piet seems pretty common in rural areas or at CX races not in cities, and then it isn't super common when you get to really touristy areas.

Feels like they know it's not right

Plus the -stan suffix just means "land of" so in a way it is the land of the Tratniks
November 23, 2025 at 8:44 AM
That is my fear too. I can ask some people if they have heard anything confirming it one way or the other

I'm hoping that the UCI/flanders classics own the rights rather than WB

Fair

Just a concrete turn, up a kerb, in to stairs in the first 30 seconds of a race to me doesn't feel a great choice.

It really spreads the race out, but that just punishes riders with bad gridding

Plus I don't think it's actually allowed by the UCI, not that the UCI care

Not retroactively. Basically all the races last year are down
November 22, 2025 at 9:49 PM
That would be very nice

The past 2 or 3 seasons it's impossible to find any races, the highlights are rushed and not really highlights. Whilst I can watch most of the 2013 season or all the 2018 World Cup
November 22, 2025 at 9:45 PM
I wonder if it's just for ones outside of Belgium and the Netherlands, but we shall see

I had seem some people say it but, Tonke shared actual conformation
