The Cycling Podcast said your team was on a voluntary quarantine. Assume your team are controlling the lockdown and not the authorities?

 

Hi Frosty

 

I cannot say to much so please excuse me on that but we did do voluntary but the authorities were also controlling overall.

I think it would be fair to say the early part of the season is all going to go. Netherlands has spiked in the  last few days, Belgium is starting to balloon and the rest is only a matter of time. My guess is a lot of organizers are looking for an official directive so their events insurance can kick in and they don't have a massive loss. 

 

To be honest the Giro has to be looking like it's dead with the whole country on lock down and the tour getting very shaky despite La P's belief it's bigger than god (or a virus). I'd imagine if you told a WHO virus official that you were planning a country wide bike race with all the associated staff, public attending and the rest of the infrastructure in the next few months they would look at you like 'WTF?'. France hasn't even started it's full upward trajectory in terms of infections.

Sport?

 

2020 is a bust... It wouldn't surprise me to see borders closed, international flights suspended and regional quarantine implemented.

 

In order to contain the virus, they need to stop the cross pollination.

 

As you can catch it more than once, it will just keep circling until a successful vaccine is produced.... But then the anti vaxxers will say it causes Huntington's disease or something...

 

A less than potent virus brings the world to it's knees because it infected the affluent and not the voiceless lower classes.

I've got a megaton of F2A Classic archives to share - any suggestions as to public share sites?  I could share a dropbox libk but I fear that will kill my data cap.

2008: Cancellara outfoxes the hounds

 

Fabian Cancellara started the 2008 season with a bang, beating Bradley Wiggins in the prologue of the Tour of California and then snatching his first of three victories at Strade Bianche two weeks later. Fresh off overall victory at Tirreno-Adriatico, where he won the stage 5 time trial, “Spartacus” was bristling to take aim at the 99th edition of Milano-Sanremo. It was 3km longer than in 2007, at 298km, following the addition of the Le Mànie climb. The race finished on Lungomare Italo Calvino and not on the traditional Via Roma due to construction and the Easter weekend.

Just as a possible forewarning, make sure you have alot of reruns of races per month they were raced to compensate, doesn't look like there is any racing for a good few months to come in Europe.
