Long is the way and hard, that out of GCN+ leads up to the light π² - in the Antipodean darkness π€ @carltonkirby@daniellloyd1@AdamBlythe89 @mcewenrobbie @robhatchTV Merry Christmas to all in the broader Eurosport Discovery+ family ππ²
@conordunnealot Concerned to hear the great G πβ€οΈ describe low DEXA readings among pro-peloton on recent podcast. @irishpeloton π showed cycling's decreasing winning body weights over time β‘οΈ neg. health effects. UCI bikes=6.8kg min, BMI min=18.5? (UK NHS limit) @daniellloyd1@si_richardson
@conordunnealot Thank you @conordunnealot for this excellent film π Time for a UCI minimum BMI? BMI adjusts weight for height. It's not perfect, but a minimum potection. Too light at sign-in? Just add lead weight! Limit weight incentive, protect athlete health π @daniellloyd1@si_richardson
@conordunnealot Minimum cycling BMI? E.g. 18.5? (NHS UK lower threshold) Sign-in, weigh-in for each race day. Too light? Just add lead weights π ie. remove incentive (& pressure) for ultra low weight. If UCI can scrutinise bike weights... BMI is not perfect, neither is UCI points relegation π€£
Thank you @RobHatch π for acknowledging the great sacrifice of Australian #GCN fans...staying up late night after night to watch great #GCN cycling coverage from Europe, and turning up to work late week after week π€£
Great to hear the sterling commentary of @carltonkirby for today's @UCI_cycling Men's Road Race down under - pulling a reverse @mcewenrobbie from GCNHQ! Thank you Monsieur Kirby from all Australian #CKFC members! π
