2011 Copenhagen World Championships: Elite Men Road Race

[just some guy]

Next hill team Monaco go PLEASE

edit Tommy V

 

[Havetts]

Most arrogant person in the pack attacking (no not ASchleck ;p)

 

[Dancing On The Pedals]

Hagen is still there, + Sky train?

EBH leading out Cav

 

[Ferminal]

Tommy V in psycho mode.

 

[luckyboy]

At this point if Cav does manage to win this it'll be amazing.

You mean if he doesn't?

 

[Havetts]

Does that mean we will be free from all the Dutchies for the road race next year?

Yes I'll be there for sure!

 

[Rudisha]

At this point if Cav does manage to win this it'll be amazing.

Why? Everything is perfect for him at this point.

 

[spalco]

I still believe the whole race has worked in Cavendish's favour so far.

 

[Ferminal]

GB using their 10th man?

 

[Maxiton]

You mean if he doesn't?

After all that time on the front, I find it hard to believe GB can provide the train he'll need. But, maybe so.

 

[hoolaparara]

Well what do you know? Its going to be a sprint.

Nothing has happened this race.. and frankly if not for the crash it would have been negative nothing had happened.

He can win without a big train though. There was that uphill sprint in the Tour where he beat Gilbert too.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

The point, I assume, is that GB have had to work for it as a team in a way few World Championship races are won, from start to finish.

 

[GroupDK]

some spectators kulisse..

 

[The Hitch]

Its all set for Gilbert to launch that attack.

A year ago i would joke that hell lose on the descent but this year I am not sure.

 

[Dancing On The Pedals]

5 Brits still there, including GT

 

[Swede1]

how many km's left?

 

[AussieGoddess]

actually for a flat sprint I think it hasnt been that bad.

Have had quite a lot of attacks off the front, lots happening ... GB having to work.

Its been ok. Not like a hilly race, but better than your average TdF sprint

 

[Ibanez]

Why the hell is the feed zone still there O_O

 

[Maxiton]

True

Exactly.

 

[luckyboy]

Still 4 on the front for GB

 

[Ferminal]

No one even bothered to attack that time. Seems Aus/Italy/Spain have settled for the sprint.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

At what point will the yanks appear? Once we get in to the last lap, it's not very credible for them to pretend only Cav is interested in a sprint.

Waiting for Gilbert to launch one.Cav will win if he gets a sniff of the finish

Exactly 20km to go at that point wasn't there?
