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

No idea if that counts for anything, but Evenepoel looks more ok-ish than most riders imo.

"Baby-fat" helping.

Team Dennis on a BMC pulls the peloton.

Watching these guys drilling it in and out of the caravan!!!
The UCI is feeling pretty silly right now

BBC seems to have finally gone to live pictures. Meanwhile the "home of cycling" is showing superbikes and snooker today

I've been watching online from the start. Absolutely shocking the ES aren't showing the race live. 'Home of cycling' = Fake news.

I'm guessing UCI sells the world championships as a stand alone event, outside of the world tour calendar, and that ES does not have the rights for it.

There is no scenario where cort and dillier aren't the last men standing from this break.

Depends on the territory. ES player I think is broadcasting it everywhere they have the rights even in not on their TV channels.

ES = Europsort? It's on Eurosport Player.

Imagine this:

4 hours from now, Quintana solos to the line and the rainbow jersey, while everyone else in the break is refusing to lead the chase

Ah, I stand corrected

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Asgreen saying in an interview, that he is supposed to attack in the pre-finale of the race.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Lutsenko with a defect, all the kazaks wait for him.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Time for the F1 start, cya later

 

[Pricey_sky]

ES = Europsort? It's on Eurosport Player.

Yes I know, but I don’t have the player. It’s a shame as all the other races this week have been broadcast live. Luckily BBC have all the races too.

 

[The Hegelian]

Kristoff has to be a chance in this weather + climbs removed.

 

[Laplaz]

Hugo Houle disagrees

 

[42x16ss]

Can't help but think Australia is doing too much work early

 

[Velolover2]

Peloton is not gaining time on the break even with Dennis at the front.

 

[Bolder]

Couple guys in the break w/out gloves...brr.

 

[Yingge]

ES have the TV rights for some countries, even if they don't actually show them.

Fortunately the UCI have a live stream on Youtube for places where no broadcaster has the rights - which is odd as in Australia, SBS have the rights, and Live coverage has yet to start, but UCI has been live on all races so far.

 

[Bolder]

Can't help but think Australia is doing too much work early

I agree, though the question is who should do the work? If I were Australia et al, I would let Belgium take the lead. Save Dennis for a late push if needed.

I'm using the BBC Sport app online though Amazon Prime. Might be georestricted though

 

[Velolover2]

Break losing a time now.

I'd have saved Dennis for the last 100k but they somebody has to do the work. 4 minutes+ is still a good gap.

 

[The Hegelian]

Is the other guy wiggo?

 

[Velolover2]

Any noticeable DNF yet?
