@antiaall3s@chaos.social They could have started Cattaneo as Affini is a continental champion and so he gets a start because of it.
@antiaall3s@chaos.social They had Mattia Cattaneo who was the second ITT rider for Italy at the European Championships (which Affini won). I don’t know why PCS took so long to change the line up but I hadn’t been able to find an announcement for the Italian team either so maybe they were just going on the Euros until something as announced. It can’t be easy for them to keep up. I sent them the updates from Cycling Australia as they had O’Connor starting the ITT for a long time.
@antiaall3s INEOS posted that he was riding both the ITT and mixed relay and PCS finally added him to the ITT yesterday.
1·5 days ago@mativity@aus.social 5 races, both elite road races, both elite ITT and the elite mixed relay TTT. Pick 8 riders from 8 different countries. Can be all women, all men or a mix.
@mativity@aus.social the text was too long for my Mastodon instance to post as one message (I have a 500 character limit).
@mativity@aus.social see the notes on the second post.
Total score (no bonuses) of 382
(1) or Groves on 2 and Strong on 14
(2) one of these is replaced by Rogla
(3) one of them should be Eddie Dunbar (20 if you picked Enric @ 8)
(4) one of them should be Pablo Castrillo
@mativity@aus.social There are no sprint or mountain points to be awarded so they are done and dusted. Hard to see Rogla failing to hold the leaders jersey unless he has a mechanical or is sick. Lipowitz is a minute behind Skjelmose for the white. They finished 12 and 13 in stage 1 so it’s hard to see Lipowitz closing that gap. I think it’s done barring sickness or mechanical.
@tilefan@lemm.ee the one ex-pro rider who is still listed on that ascent asks for people to stop flagging his rides so I suspect someone has flagged the ride as not being by bike and Strava have just believed it because they don’t know that Niki rides a bike for a living.
@waarismijnhoofd@mastodon.nl @Mufcfaan@mstdn.social @mativity@aus.social agree, when the alternative is Kaden Groves.

Waiting for Mandy to fix her team. I’ve fixed the Alt Text problem (more riders than what my script expected).
