2019 UCI Road World Championships Men's Road Race : 284.5km

[GuntherL]

Looking like a complete Belgian fail. They haven't done anything they said they would do. So surprising.

Just not good enough. It happens.

 

[Pippo_San]

Belgium really pathetic. DS should resign.

 

[Rollthedice]

It's over for the rest. Trentin vs. Van der Poel.

 

[42x16ss]

Cort dnf

 

[Leinster]

That’s a tiny peloton. Not enough horsepower there to get all the way back.

 

[Singularitarian]

looking forward to see an epic sprint for the 6th place

 

[Simurgh]

Cort and Ackermann call it a day

 

[Velolover2]

Sagan, GVA, Ala, Matthews and co. needs to attack.

They lost the race because of the waiting game.

UCI printing a jersey in MVDP’s size and colors now...

 

[Bolder]

I think if Sagan, Gva and Alaf had the legs they would have gone with trentin and vdp...so it's probably over.

 

[skidmark]

Less than a minute. One big attack uphill and guys like MM, JA, GvA and Hirschi will be enough to close that.

No way. If they could've caught them they would've gone with them. It's not like they're waiting for the right time to bridge. The only rider who I've seen close this big of a gap at the end of a big classic is in the front group.

 

[TomLPC]

It’s coming down a little to be fair, might still be on

 

[SafeBet]

I dunno, Trentin beat MvdP in a rainy Euros last year, so Moscon should bring him to the finish with a smaller group rather than let Sagan/Matthews/Kristoff etc rejoin

I doubt peloton has any chance to come back. This looks like the move and italy has numbers. Don't bet on the sprint if you can avoid it.

Edit: of course Moscon drops as I'm typing...

 

[jaylew]

Fewer than 30 in the peloton

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Moscon gone thankfully

 

[bambino]

Everyone in that tiny peloton are just cooked and well done.

 

[Simurgh]

Teuns and Wellens done. Moscon dropped!

 

[Bolder]

Too much for Moscon.

 

[Rollthedice]

Moscon dropped.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I'm LMAO at the gloriously epic fail by "the strongest team"
What a *** bunch of amateurs.

 

[Brullnux]

What does Trentin do now?

 

[JosephK]

Moscon cracks. I thought he was bluffing.

 

[Samamba]

What does Trentin do now?

Get 2nd

 

[Leinster]

If you’re Pederson or Kung is it past time that you should be sitting on looking for the chance to attack?

 

[red_flanders]

Holy crap the Ned Flanders flag!!!
