Tour of Norway cancelled for 2026 after the government decided to cut funding… In one of the worlds richest countries, putting money into sports is not a priority😶

The word ‘law’ is connected with ‘legal’, but etymologically they’re entirely unrelated.
‘Law’ is related to the verbs ‘to lie’ and ‘to lay’. It comes from a Germanic word meaning “things that are laid out”.
‘Legal’ is related to ‘loyal’. Both derive from Latin ‘lēx’ (law).

She's a Canadienne dairy breed, descended from cattle imported by French settlers in the 1600s, it's the only dairy cattle breed native to North America. Once Canada’s most common breed, they are now listed on the Rare Breeds Canada Conservation List.

A little thread.
We have very few professional bike races left on open roads in NL. There is a population density of about 500 people per km2 which makes it one of the densest populated countries in Europe. To compare, France has 121 but Belgium has almost 400 so this not he only reason.

NEED to share. A week ago a TikTok went viral of 2 Belgians pranking their grandpa by saying they don’t care about Evenepoel. The grandpa was telling his grandchildren all Remco’s achievements and how much a fan he is. Remco saw it and sent a video to the grandpa saying how much he appreciates him 🥰
