2021 Trentino European Championships 8-12 September

[RedheadDane]

You probably remember him from the Tour du Limousin, where he won a stage.

Mainly just from seeing his name appear on various start lists.

Are there any plans for Nys to spend quality time on the road in the future ?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Baroncini said he was surprised that Nys was so strong, he tried his best by being the first after the last corner, but Nys just had an incredible acceleration.
I can't blame him, he probably has never raced against him. Maybe the coach of the u23 nt should have informed them about him.
Seeing Zana race against guys who are still in the u23 ranks looks a bit silly to me, a guy who has already raced the Giro twice gains nothing from getting nice results against some u23 riders...

But maybe it's the other way around: u23 riders gaining experience from riding against riders like Zana.

While he is on his father's team he should have a short belgian program like VdP and WVA had until 2017/2018. Unless Telenet goes full Alpecin and starts to evolve as a team but I don't see it likely.

The team is heavily linked with Trek (Lucinda Brand and Shirin van Anrooij switch regularly to road racing with Trek - Segrafredo) so they should lock him already for the future and maybe give him some trainee rides in the next couple of years.

They already lost Tom Pidcock a couple seasons back, can't do the same mistake with this gem.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Women's RR like a Sunday ride so far

Yeah, I remember that; he signed for Telenet, and the rumours were about him riding on the road with Trek-Segafredo. However, he pretty quickly signed for Wiggins for the road season, and it became inevitable his future was not riding a Trek. And so it proved, leaving Telenet after only one season - which had plenty of people scratching their heads.

Dutch chasing the Dutch in Women's WRR. Nothing new there

Nys out-van-der-poeled Van der Poel last year during a set of CX trials. It should have been known before the race that he was a bigger threat than Van Tricht on this course considering his punch/acceleration and better climbing ability.

And i'm glad Zana didn't get a medal. He's nearly a full 4 years older than Ayuso and Nys and was riding rather cynically.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Great race situation this now. Only shame is that the Dutch are just a bit too overpowered.

 

[jmdirt]

Nys! Its been a few years since that name has been typed a lot, but it looks like it will be back with a new thread soon!

Congrats young man!

Can we hold off on the "he should focus on road and not waste his life on 'cross" at least until he's 20?

 

[Sciatic]

Van Dijk has this?

 

[yaco]

Such an uninspiring edition of the Women's RR - It's like a club ride.

 

[BlueRoads]

Ellen van Dijk winning will be a win for the people who hate to see the bibs get longer and longer.

 

[Faserr]

Noone wants to be in the wind for one second.

 

[saganftw]

im really enjoying this heavy breathing into microphone stream, bummer that its interrupted by some cycling thingy

 

[Samu Cuenca]

If they had fully worked together they would just have been beaten by AVV, so there only chance of winning was to bridge across, which didn't work out for anyone.

Still a strong ride by Van Dijk, who takes revenge for losing the ITT crown.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Bit of a joke that Leleivyte got bronze because she was motor paced back to the group on the descent...

They got to within 8 seconds near the top of the second last climb and stopped riding - AVV and Vollering weren't that strong on the climb - An opportunity missed.

Yeah, I don't expect a young road cyclist who has never raced against him to know that, but if you're the coach of the Italian u23 nt you should know that.

 

[postmanhat]

First time seeing the course during the women's race, and I'm sure this isn't an original observation, but it seems to suit a fairly wide spectrum of riders.

Evenepoel must have enjoyed watching Van Dijk's long solo victory

 

[IndianCyclist]

if the other riders had attacked the dutch one by one, Van Dijk would have been caught. But for that there should have been some coordination between the others

 

[search]

If i were a betting man, i would have made a lot of money. Couldn't understand Wielerflits didn't even give him one star, while they should definitely know him (unlike non-Dutch speaking media). He can climb well enough and he's lightning fast in a sprint.

no worries, there were no bets available for the U23 race anyway

 

[Mayomaniac]

Francesco Moser thinks that the circuit should suit Ganna and that a late attack from him is a legit option.
Italy should have either Ulissi or Bagioli constantly marking Remco.
