Zumaran (the Chilean rider in the video) could continue, so no serious injuries, thankfully. For me, the worst part is not even De Villiers hitting him like that; I accept that could happen unintentionally - but not stopping to check on the person you just hit in the middle of a desert is pure evil. And it appears this is not a single incident involving him yesterday: he is now accused of running over a crashed motorbike later in the stage, destroying it and also not stopping to check on the rider or the bike. Unfathomable, especially in a racing event where drivers/riders stopping and ruining their own times to help their competitors in trouble has always been the norm. Surely has to be a DSQ.

Just look at this plonker. And he only got 5 minute penalty for it

What do the numbers represent? Average per year? Week? Lifetime? Average number of sexual partners at the same time?

Sri Lanka is on the brink of bankruptcy before the end of 2022 with estimated 500.000 people having fallen below the poverty line in the past 2 years. Inflation hit a record high of 11.1% in November and escalating prices have left those who were previously well off struggling to feed their families, while basic goods are now unaffordable for many.

Danijel Zenkovic has left the club to join Alfred Schreuder as his assistant coach at Brügge.

8 episodes in total! The whole season was released by ZDF earlier in December in Germany, whereas BBC has only two episodes out so far. I think the next one comes out tomorrow!

Finished Around The World in 80 Days, and thought it was great. David Tennant is fantastic, the chemistry between him and the other two main actors (Ibrahim Koma & Leonie Benesch) is perfect, the blend of humour and emotion is very well balanced, and Hans Zimmer score is outstanding. The whole adventure is just fun to watch. Great news that Season 2 has already been greenlit, and that they will adapt another Jules Verne novel (Journey to the Centre of the Earth) for it. Hopefully with the same cast. WIth Disney+ filming Nautilus, it looks like adventure genre and particularly Jules Verne adaptations are set for a revival.

So I've been browsing Steam Winter Sale, and found this gem. Thought some of you might be interested

In the US only

Happy Birthday Isaac Asimov.

First stage completed. Al-Attiyah leads with Toyota in car category, with Loeb and Prokop completing the Top 3. Massive problems for Audi, with Peterhansel's car breaking its rear axle, and Carlos Sainz Sr. losing his wheel bearings. Bike category is being led by Daniel Sanders (KTM), with Quintanilla and Walkner behind him. Sotnikov leads in trucks, Kancius in quad category.

Training camp has been cancelled, as 4 players and one of the coaches tested positive yesterday. Niclas Füllkrug, Manuel Mbom, Milos Veljkovic and Marco Friedl are the ones who tested positive (plus Weiser who tested positive earlier). It's Friedl's second time in less than two months.

Dakar Rally started today with the Prologue. Audi's entry is very interesting and gets a lot of hype. First ever fully electric vehicle to challenge Dakar, with a new engine which charges the battery while driving. Looks very futuristic. And then their driver lineup... No words. Sainz Sr., Peterhansel, Ekström

Yeah.

The whole situation you described in your post. To be honest, I couldn't decide if "sad", "wow", "confused" or "facepalm" would be the most fitting reaction to that, as it has a bit of it all

I just found it amusing how random that fact about your mate was personally, I don't think anyone should be in jail for growing cannabis.

Wtf

He felt incredible pain because he can no longer boast about being the last driver to beat Hamilton to the title

My favourite part, too

Two friendlies scheduled for the winter training camp in Spain: Jan 5, 15:30 CET against VV St. Truiden Jan 8, 13:30 CET against KSV Cercle Brügge

Been watching the new adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days (with David Tennant) in the last few days. A very enjoyable, fun, old-school adventure series with humour for the whole family.

Haven't had any time to watch it, but Thailand have beaten Indonesia comfortably (4-0) in the first leg of the Suzuki Cup final, and are heading into their 6th Southeast Asian championship title.

Some very interesting insights (read the whole thread).

Like what, punching horses?

Thanks! I have no idea when I'll actually have enough time to do it, but I'm really looking forward to it! Already got the FIRE Fantasy 21 Mod for real teams/drivers, too will dominate the GT World with Porsche (or fail miserably)
