João Almeida confirmed this Wednesday on social media that he will be attending the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
After abandoning La Fleche Wallonne, like all his team-mates, because of the rain, hail and cold, the Portuguese rider told us the good news. "We're exactly 100 days away from the Olympic Games and I still can't believe that once again I'm going to be at this great event. All I know is that, as always, I'm going to do my best to represent Portugal in the best possible way! I'm also very proud to announce that I'm part of #TeamSamsungGalaxy this year for the 2024 Olympic Games." he wrote on Instagram.

The UAE Team Emirates rider will, of course, be representing Portugal and will compete in the road race as well as the time-trial. It now remains to be seen who the other Portuguese cyclist will be alongside Almeida on the Olympic journey to be held in France later this summer.

Weird enough the Olympic games awarding 50,000 dollars price money for the gold medalists. Don't know how much the silver and bronze medalists will earn, but probadly around 30,000 dollars, for silver medalists and around 20,000 for the bronze medalists.
Thanks, ESPN I guess🙄🤐🤐

- Funny he focused so much on that and didn’t mention the situation for Lotte at all. To be fair about the men thing, it might be a mechanical translation problem, I think in Dutch the size of a team or group of humans is expressed by the same word as the male sex, a bit like in English when you speak about humanity in relation to the planet you say man. We all know this cheapo freebie of a website has no proofreading budget and that kind of makes it more human and funny, also teaches you to read between the lines to understand what they’re trying to report often because so much is badly translated.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- No, but more than plenty making a living commenting ;-)Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- People were saying stuff like that years ago but in the meantime he’s proved himself often enough. Do you reallythink he’s going to stop working and improving until he can match the best? It’s just a matter of time. Once he notices the mountains are costing him the title, he’ll start making plans how to overcome that, for now he is still too cocky to understand you improve most by accepting you have a weakness and that’s what you should work on most.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Tao has been a flop for Lidl Trek. He was taken as a GC hopeful but is nowhere due to various factors.abstractengineer21-04-2025
- It’s the kind of thing Tadej would have tried too ;-) one of the reasons I think they won’t get along very long, too much alike in some aspects.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Also, it seems fans and he have narrowed down strategies for winning to one, doing long-range solos. Maybe in-race he should re-evaluate whether that strategy is advantageous under actual conditions, like with a tiring headwind and two phenomenal chasers working behind him, surely he was made aware of that pretty quick?Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- I don’t think he is very well advised in-house, whether that is because they’re happy for him to do things this way or whether he just isn’t good at taking advice, I don’t know and it probably doesn’t matter, not until he will reach a “bad” patch because as many before him discovered, it can be very long to climb out a bad patch if you don’t know or accept what will help you get through it.Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- Well yes, and sometimes that makes it more sometimes less interesting. Problem for spectator is you can never know in advance :-(Mistermaumau21-04-2025
- It's funny. but I didn't see any men racing in the women's race.
santiagobenites21-04-2025 - Remco making stupid crass coments again. I would have won myself if i had been racing lol. As to putting Remco at Pogs level at grand tours he is no where near in the high mountains. He won the Vuelta yes good result but there was no big hitters there . Needs to mature up quite a bit and classics are no where same as grand tours.paultryan200221-04-2025
