Pidcock waited for Tadej in the seconds before he was caught, but did not ā€œwaitā€ for more than 3 kilometers after the crash. Much of the media coverage is so matter of a fact about this comeback of Tadej. Sure here are lots of images of his wounds and there is a lot written on him overcoming the crash. But the effort Tadej did after the crash is quite spectacular to say the least. It is far from what has been said or written which in summary is ā€œTadej crashed, Pidcock waited, they worked together, Tadej dropped him and won.ā€ Which has led to the ā€œwhy did Pidcock wait?ā€ discussion. I found this video below that shows the significance of the gap Tadej had to close before his bike change. Then I went back in and looked at the video as I wanted to get more detail. When I watched it live it sure didn’t seem like he waited, but he said he did after and the media said he did so… From what I found, Tadej’s crash cost him about 30 seconds from when he stopped sliding to when he got going again. With Pidcock blasting the turn and not hesitating I think this cost Tadej about 40 seconds. Then the bike change cost him another 10, so all in all he had to make up 50 seconds in his chase. Now let’s look at Pidcock. At the time of the crash he had 1:24 on the chasers. From the time Tadej crashed to when he was caught, Pidcock increased his gap to the chasing group (behind Tadej and Swift) to 1:30 in 3 kilometers. Now that doesn’t sound like much, but he went from holding this gap with Tadej sharing the pace, to now solo and gaining ground. When reviewing the footage I also noticed they went over a climb in dirt sector 11. Both were visibly riding hard despite appearing to go extremely hard, Tadej only closes 11 seconds. So clearly Pidcock was not ā€œwaitingā€ here either. The ā€œwaitingā€ finally occurs as Tadej gets him in sight and the gap is 10 seconds now. Now why is this worth looking at? Well in my opinion the effort Tadej had to close the gap was a race winning effort. Something like 470w for 6 mins AND THEN had to redo the effort again to win the race in addition to 44 more kilometers while bruised and battered. Did Pidcock do the right thing keeping the pressure on after the crash? Absolutely as he didn’t know if Tadej was injured or out and he was in the lead. Was it tactically a good call too if Tadej was ok? Yes, it forced Tadej to use precious glycogen resources to catch back. Overall I just saw this video and wanted to dive more into the chase. There definitely was a lot there and sheds light on how strong Tadej is riding right now.

Upscaled Footage Reveals Rare Glimpse of Wuppertal's "Flying Train" in 1902 The year was 1902, a serene and peaceful time in Germany before the onset of World War I and II. Recently unearthed footage, showcased in New York's MOMA latest film, "The Flying Train," as part of the museum's Film Vault Summer Camp in 2020, offers a remarkable look into life in Wuppertal, Germany. This captivating black-and-white silent film was produced by Deutsche Mutoskop und Biograph GmbH, providing viewers with a vivid glimpse of Germany's past that seems as though it exists in the present day. The star of the film is the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, famously known as the "flying train." As the film unfolds, we see the innovative electric suspension railway gliding gracefully through neighborhoods, passing by houses, buildings, riverbanks, and bridges. The footage also captures the hustle and bustle of daily life, with carriages and people bustling about. Additionally, viewers get a unique insight into the construction of Germany's train system at that time. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn, designed by Eugen Langen, began construction in 1898, and Emperor Wilhelm II was one of the early passengers to experience this revolutionary mode of transportation during trial runs in 1900. The train officially commenced operations in Wuppertal in 1901, becoming the world's oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars. Remarkably, this iconic railway system still serves as a crucial mode of transportation for locals, carrying around 25 million passengers annually. "The Flying Train" not only provides a fascinating glimpse into Germany's history but also serves as a reminder of the country's peaceful days under the leadership of Emperor Wilhelm II, long before the tumultuous times of the two World Wars. Overall, this genuine and rare footage captures the essence of life in Wuppertal over a century ago, offering a unique and valuable perspective for modern-day audiences.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øANNABELLE DIDN’T DO IT - GHOST HUNTER’S DEATH RULED NATURAL Dan Rivera, veteran paranormal investigator and full-time Annabelle wrangler, died suddenly at 54 during his Devils on the Run tour - and social media instantly blamed the doll. Rivera was found unresponsive in a Gettysburg hotel on July 13, just hours before another stop on the tour that paraded the infamous Annabelle doll across the country like cursed cargo. But the coroner confirmed what ghost-hunters didn’t want to hear: it wasn’t the doll. Rivera died of cardiac-related natural causes - and yes, Annabelle wasn’t even in the room. For the unfamiliar: Annabelle is a supposedly haunted Raggedy Ann doll that Ed and Lorraine Warren locked behind glass in their Occult Museum after claiming it was possessed by a demonic entity. In the 1970s, two nurses reported the doll moving, leaving notes, and attacking guests - classic horror fodder that inspired The Conjuring franchise and turned Annabelle into a viral icon of paranormal doom. Despite decades of ā€œdo not touchā€ warnings, Rivera helped take her out of her sealed case earlier this year for a national tour. Cue panicked fans, conspiracy threads, and viral videos blaming the doll for everything from 911 outages to natural disasters. Rivera leaned into the hype - even staining the doll’s case with holy water and embedding crosses into it - but insisted the point was education, not fear-mongering. His death sparked mourning in the paranormal world, but also a fresh wave of paranoia. The truth? The curse didn’t strike. His heart did. Source: Daily Mail

ā€œIn the moment that you understand the existence of the society, your pictures have a meaning.ā€ – SebastiĆ£o Salgado These words, shared during his last recorded conversation with UNESCO at his atelier in Paris in 2024, capture the essence of SebastiĆ£o Salgado’s legacy: photography as a witness and a call to conscience. Today, we pay tribute to a man whose lens shaped how we see the world. SebastiĆ£o Salgado was more than one of the most exceptional photographers of our time. He was a passionate advocate for the environment and a champion of human dignity. His work reflected many of the values we hold at UNESCO: the need to educate, to preserve our shared heritage, to protect our planet, and to act. Through Instituto Terra, which is integrated into the UNESCO Mata AtlĆ¢ntica Biosphere Reserve, he not only documented the damage done to ecosystems but helped restore them, one tree at a time. His images, and his example, will continue to inspire generations. šŸŽ„ In 2024, Salgado marked World Press Freedom Day with a message to fellow photographers, urging them to engage fully with the stories they tell. ā–¶ļø Full message: ā€œI found myself again with natureā€: ā–¶ļø Interview with SebastiĆ£o Salgado for the 50th anniversary of UNESCO’s MAB Programme: šŸ“° Explore more of his work with UNESCO: šŸ“– The Amazon Laid Bare – šŸ“° UNESCOCourier #News #Magazine #Interviews šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡³: šŸ–¼ AmazĆ“nia: An exhibition with Jean-Michel Jarre at UNESCO: 🌱 The photographer who regained his vision through his love of nature:

During his tenure coaching Alabama Men’s Basketball, Winfrey ā€œWimpā€ Sanderson entertained fans with a scowl that intimidated the most veteran officials all while donned in his trademark plaid sportscoat. Today the coach, who made plaid as engrained with Alabama basketball as houndstooth is with Alabama football, celebrates another birthday. And while Wimp Sanderson declined offering his actual age, he provided this point of reference instead. ā€œYou could take two SEC coaches, add their ages together and I’m still older,ā€ Sanderson joked earlier this week. However, these last few months have been some of the most difficult in his life with the passing of his beloved wife, Annette, earlier this spring. The high school sweethearts had been married for 67 years, and she traveled with him on a coaching adventure that started in Carbon Hill and ended in Little Rock, Ark. Perhaps the biggest tribute to Sanderson’s career is the number of former players and staff that returned for the funeral services of Annette in early May. After settling in Birmingham following his retirement from coaching, Sanderson made the decision to move one more time this past summer and returned to Tuscaloosa to be closer to his youngest son, Barry, and his family. The two still produce and host their radio show ā€œInside the Locker Roomā€ on Tide 100.9 FM | WTBC 1230 AM every weekday morning from 7 – 9 a.m. Sanderson coached one year at Carbon Hill High School then joined Hayden Riley’s staff at Alabama in 1960. He remained an assistant for Riley and later C.M. Newton, before being named the 16th Alabama head coach in 1980. During his 12-year run when Coleman Coliseum became known as the ā€œPlaid Palace,ā€ the Crimson Tide won five SEC Tournament championships, one SEC regular-season championship and reached the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament six times. His legacy is renewed every season when the ā€œCrimson Chaosā€ president is sworn in and bestowed a plaid sportscoat.
