I’ve gotten some new users who seem to be interested in the #USschedule for cycling…welcome!
So what is the #USschedule? It’s my attempt to help out North American viewers trying to watch cycling, which here is fractured over multiple streaming services.

That CAN v USA hockey game about gave me the shakes. Holy CRAP.
And to think, I'm about to head home and watch the ladies free skate on delay! 😶

Ayuso tried to wheel-cling and sprint around at the end...didn't quite work out and Seixas took the win. Almeida provided a lot of impetus, and am impressed with both Riccatello and Onley coming across and hanging in there. Nice little battle!

Switching over to #VoltaAoAlgarve, maybe get a glimpse of Jasper before the unipuerto finish kicks in.
Then I gotta go see some of this Olympic ski mountaineering!

Awake, at work, slugging through the day. 5 days until we leave for Tokyo.
Catching up on cycling news, I see Tiesj Benoot had lumbar disc surgery and will be out for the next few months. Yiiiikes!

And...BREATHE. 😮💨
Alpecin's train came apart there. Don't know if they were actually trying with Groves or if it was just a Hail Mary.
Jasper bounced around in the wind, finally found Magnier's wheel, but ran out of time & road to try to come around.
But no crashing. Whew. #VoltaAoAlgarve #JPDF

Now to gather myself for #VoltaAoAlgarve. Will be very happy to see Jasper get his season underway. 👏
Again, not expecting anything, first race day, he hasn't really been sprint training. Just good and safe through the line will be good enough.

I was on my way to work for the last 10km of #UAETour, Remco started out well but cramped badly. Ooof. Has to be so frustrating.
Absolute BEAST of a climb though, WTF?

Am excited & antsy about Jasper starting the season tomorrow at #VoltaAoAlgarve.
No high expectations, as Jasper has said many times that he's not in top sprinting form in the spring, as "that is the time for classics." This is his usual early stage race to shake off rust.
But let's goooo! #JPDF

I wake up not feeling particularly great, throat a bit raw and clogged and a series of sneezes, then get into work to find that the guy who works in the cube next to mine is "working from home in quarantine" today with fever, cough, and heavy runny nose.
Well, fuck.
Well, fuck.

I wake up to see that Remco has blasted through the short TT at #UAETour and gone well into the lead. Good good.
Also glad to see Josh Tarling had an excellent run too. Well done! 👏

German curler tripped a bit over a stone and fell down, so the teams have spent the last 5 minutes genially discussing how the stones should be rearranged. There is even some joking and giggling going on.
