Congrats to Filippo Ganna for saying not ganna happen to van Aert. Evenepoel likely drank a beer to stay hydrated and to celebrate after. Good job.
As for Slovenians i didn't have high expectations on this race still they did a rather OK job. The truth is i had much bigger expectations for euro volley finale. And Italy again said not ganna happen.
Congrats Italy.

If there had been a U23 women's race, I think this would have been the result.
Labous was born in 1998, so she's too old.
And of course the reality is that the race would probably have been won by a Dutch rider, who wasn't selected for the Elite Race because, well... they have Van Dijk and Van Vleuten!

I'm not too sure about that. Guazzini won the EC title, and Van Anrooij, who seems to be the best Dutch TTer in that age category, only finished 8th. Wiebes and Uneken are not bad on prologues, but they wouldn't stand a chance on a 30 km TT.
Elise Uijen looks like a very promising TTer, but she's still a junior.
Also Van Vleuten wasn't selected over someone else (Markus was though), cause as the Olympic champion her spot was guaranteed.
Was she? Van Der Breggen also had a quaranteed spot, as the defending champion, so if she'd chosen to ride, the Netherlands would simply have had four riders.
Yes, and I guess if Van Dijk had won the EC, they would have had five spots.
Some performance by Backstedt and Ivanchenko is going even faster... hairy corner there though.
Will it be a German, a Russian or a Swelsh victory?
I hope Ivanchenko didn't lose it through that corner.

She didn't. Great ride again from her. I hope we'll see her ride more races on European roads next year.
When I (creepily) do a Google search, some old geezer with a moustache pops up... Not what I would call cute but each to their own
Why did she only ride Turkish races this year? Covid restrictions? Or does she live in Turkey?
I guess it must have been a mix between Covid restrictions and her focus on the track.

The weirdest thing is that his first name is Anne.
The cyclist is named Anna.
Lots of the young Russians, also on the men's side, race a lot in Turkey. I guess it's a Visa/Covid restrictions thing.
Looks like Zoe got her father's genetics when it comes to height.
She doesn't look as much like a giant as Elynor did on the Yorkshire podium though.
Yes, and only Jooris, Schmidsberger and Kvasničková are younger than her. But though Niedermayer is the oldest of the medalists, she definitely still has less cycling experience than the other two.
Still is. She is targeting the 2026 olympics when Skimo will be an olympic discipline for the first time.
I hope we'll get proper Skimo (pure uphill races or Marathon races with multiple climbs and descents) and not the sideshow stuff that they call sprint races.
