Ooof. This is not the feel-good story you are looking for

I guess that's one way to make sure you're sprinting hard? 
Heard a commenter yesterday talking about how Dan Martin had thrown in the towel (self admitted) on the gravel stage "My license says road racing on it" or some such. Has anyone found that quote?
It was an interview on GCN that was mentioned on the stage coverage 
“I told my wife I wouldn’t crash” he was also reported to say 
This was awesome

If it weren't for MvdP, this is the kind of thing which should keep a second-division team off any future Grand Tour invite
hard to blame the athlete in this case 
I was waved the wrong way at a T-intersection at Battenkill once. Went from "in the winning break" to "chasing the pack" ... so much heartbreak.

I thought I heard in a podcast that there was a UCI rule that if a cyclist abandons a stage race, they are not permitted to race again until that stage race is completed (this was in reference to Ewan leaving the Giro). But maybe it is more of an unspoken rule.

When I did my one international overseas bike race, the race officials collected all the racing licenses from riders before the start and held onto them until after the finish.  As I finished, I don't know if they returned the licenses to the riders who abandoned or not, and I don't recall what happened to my one teammate who dropped out.

Maybe there was a rule.

They read out that rule on the cycling podcast , they also said exceptions can be made with permission from the race ,regardless ,not a good luck for Merlier

I may be an outlier in that I don't conceptually fully understand NFTs, but this seems insane.

Dr. Farnsworth's nailed it:

"There is no Colnago."


"There is no spoon value."
To be fair, it might be easier to get an NFT than an actual bicycle these days. 

Didnt Team Sky have a "save the ocean" campaign at one point?

I assumed all these guys would be vaccinated 
I assumed all these guys would be vaccinated 
I image the opposite, think about a pro athlete that's preparing for a big race, Giro, Tour de France, Olympics, actually..., any event you want... the vaccine introduces this unpredictable variable, might make you sick, stop your training for a while, etc, etc... 

Of course, ALL PROS and everyone reading this should go get vaccinated. Do it today. 
Seriously, get vaxxed and most likely feel bad for 1 - 2 days. Get covid and possibly die or be I'll for weeks and have serious long haul respiratory and cognitive symptoms.


I figured the organizations would of mandated it , at bit like what  the tourism parameters are
