2020...2021 Olympic Women's Road Race, Tokyo, 137 KM

[Red Rick]

Kiesenhofer can win this. Most is downhill. And if she wins, Netherlands failed in their tactics. They had to drill it untill the last climb so the break was much closer.

Bit much to call it a tactic.

There is only one way to bring this back

Maybe Kiesenhofer will get a team next year?

Austrian TV is over the moon atm, Tommy Rohregger is commentating.

 

[Red Rick]

Honestly think none of the Dutch women have good legs lol.

 

[Volderke]

Netherlands need to drill it in the peloton. But they won’t.

 

[sir fly]

Where are the remaining two from the breakaway?

 

[BlueRoads]

I just want to say I'm taking back my words. If Kiesenhofer wins I'll be fully content.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Dutch did lose time because they had to wait for Van Vleuten to get back to the peloton twice, so that obviously had an impact on their tactics.

I wanted to see Mona Mitterwallner at the Olympics, but Kiesenhofer crushed her in the trial race, just like she's crushing everyone's dreams here now.

 

[KZD]

The course being garbage when compared with the men's would always be more surprise prone but this is still almost unthinkable.

Sounds exciting, but I'm stuck watching surfing, gymnastics and water polo....

It's not only the Dutchies riding the race.

I mean, I am also over the moon, tbh.

Where are the remaining two from the breakaway?

Shapira at 21 seconds and Plichta at 41, at 40k to go (according to the official website)

Still in between, I think.

You can't... change the channel...?

You just want an Anna to win?

Nu, but they were always going to dictate it.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

"Energy flat" is that a thing?

[Red Rick]

Now a counterattack with no Dutch riders in it. Frankly I think they just don't have it.

 

[Volderke]

It doesn’t help that AVV at 30 seconds. It blocks any Dutch initiative while AVV is up the road.

Kiesenhofer is a PhD in mathematics. She should be able to calculate how to pace herself. No team and 30 years old. An amateur wins the olympics (if she doesn’t bonk).

 

[SafeBet]

This might be the biggest surprise I've seen in a cycling race in a long time.

 

[tobydawq]

Apparently Kiesenhofer has a ph.d. in mathematics. Now, RhD hopes she loses.

 

[Andy262]

Nieuwadoma is chasing when her team mate is up the road.

But the Dutchies aren't...
