Oh, I am well aware 😊 Look at him being all happy on the sideline 😃

Very upbeat, naive and overexcited?

In terms of savoury meals, you can look for Flammkuchen, which is a French/German pizza-like dish, but lighter and not cheese but sour cream based. And of course Bratwurst.

Hm, besides obviously Glühwein (mulled wine), which is an absolute must and you're not allowed to leave unless you had it, the most typical stuff would be Spekulatius (type of Christmas cookie), Lebkuchen (gingerbread), gebrandte Mandeln (candied almonds) and Bratapfel (baked apple).

Bad at zoology? Next you're gonna tell me this is not a quokka.

Update: Monkey is the first to claim the new tree. There’s a reason he’s called that 😃

Toys have been added to entice them to explore. It will still probably take them a few days though, they’re skittish little things 😅

Once a year, my mum brings me a new tree for my birds. That’s why I have a 3m tall tree in the middle of my living room, in case anyone was wondering.

This is the latest one. I only just got it, so the birdies are still shy to explore, but in a few days they’ll love it.

I‘m not gonna kill you now, because I like you (most of the time). So the best I can do is a sad Justin Herbert pic.

From my understanding, it is only roughly based on the wage bill. The rule just specifies that future signings need to be taken into account, not that they need to be done or listed. From the same article it is clear that contracts do not need to be signed yet:

I think I agree, but this is giving me a headache to try and read, sorry 😂

With all due respect (to you, not to that guy): I don't give a fuck about goats in sports I don't care about 😌

Also, screw witnessing greatness. Make everyone bighorn sheep instead and have them bash it out in very entertaining fashion.

Oh, like this? Sounds fun

It counts for next year, yes, unless they made a special provision for it.

I hope you appreciate that I'm spending 10-15 minutes finding this sort of stuff 😂

This is from article 2.1.001 on page 4 of the road race rules.

This is cool and all, but we have the proper T-Rex. Or you could call him Bee-Rex 🐝🦖😊

No, the numbers are just the expected applications. They clarify this here:

@zoeface44.bsky.social and @prinspantoffel.bsky.social might be one and the same person, be aware.

Oh yeah, but Widar, Seixas and probably also Ramirez are generational talents on punchy terrian. That's like saying Jonas isn't punchy because he can't get seperation from Pogacar.

In comparison to purer climbers, like here Torres and Pellizzari, Nordhagen is quite punchy:

It gets awarded by the Professional Cycling Council, which is made up of representatives from the UCI, teams, and riders. From page 215 of the rulebook.

So there is no fixed rule that decides who, if anyone, gets it. The council probably just decides based on all eligible applications.

The exact rule about this is this. Note the "normally". And also the fact that this rule is in the equipment regulations. So my guess is their argument would be that the equipment can't be built in such a way that the normal use position has forearm support.

Here's the rule in the rulebook where is says so: "The seat post (8) must be able to fit entirely within its own rectangular box of 80 mm width."

The rectangle I drew on the photo of his bike looks at least 100mm wide to me, probably more.

From page 24 of the UCI equipement rulebook, linked below.

You can off-set the seatpost a bit. The issue is how much it moves the top of the seatpost away from the line of the seat tube starting at the bottom bracket. According to the rule book, the rectangle that I drew here is allowed to be no wider than 8cm. To my eyes it's probably around 10-12.
