Re:

What a ****** race.

Yup. These last 4 worlds have been horrible.

But that's what you get with domestiques getting stronger and courses that are almost always the same year after year. Tighter races and mostly sprints. Next year might be different, let's hope.

 

[Frankschleck]

Wtf was cort doing?

 

[DFA123]

farcical finish to a poor world championships.

 

[TMP402]

If the finish line had been straight, would Kristoff have won?

Re:

Objectively, this was a wheelsucker's win.

Gerrans like.............

 

[Vroome.exe]

A wheelsucker won again...

 

[hrotha]

Meh. Sagan winning it three times and this once without even doing anything at all on a course that wasn't obviously only for sprinters like Doha is... meh. Meh to the max power.

 

[benzwire]

We're lucky to be experiencing one of the greatest cyclists of all time. Incredible!

Will we ever know what happened to Balaphilippe?
Super pumped for Sagan anyway, the worst was avoided.

I'm happy for Sagan, but imagine the hate for any other rider in the peleton if they won a race 3 times in a row.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Yesssss! Peter the legend!!!

 

[Eclipse]

Happy threepeat

Legend gets even more legendary

Re:

Like 90% of WCRR are won by wheelsuckers

 

[bigcog]

Well that might have been an entertaining last few kms if we'd seen it.

 

[Broth3r]

I feel this will be relevant for some.

[LeChuck]

Obvisously the Norwegian mafia cut the broadcasting to take out alaf in the descent

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wow, Sagan does it again!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Farcical we didn't even see the final 3/4km lol.

Sagan. Well, like I said, group sprint. Meh. Hill was too far from the finish. Probs for all of those who tried.

Yup, the people who designed that last couple of WC's should never be allowed near a bicycle again.

Easy to imagine

 

[jsem94]

So, when's Lombardia?

 

[Brullnux]

The race itself wasn't bad at all I don't think, much better than the previous two years. But the podium is pretty terrible, a vidication of wheelsucking. At least Norway did something I guess.
