2022 Canadian WT Races - September 9th + September 11th

[BR2]

Yes, yes, yes... I love Benoît!

 

[roundabout]

Matthews not so dead after all

And Van Aert not as super as I thought

 

[Tim Cahill]

Glad to see an attacking rider win

 

[Rollthedice]

Masterclass Cosnefroy. Spectacular win.

 

[KZD]

Cosnefroy winning in a Alaphilippe style. Ghirmay coming into shape again.

 

[Escarabajo]

Huh! a lot of tired legs here.
Chapeau Cosnefroy!

 

[Didinho]

Perfectly timed and impressive legs! Matthews fastest of the rest, Jumbo played it bad with Wout.
Would've loved to see Mathieu and Julian here

 

[roundabout]

Shame for that QS dude to be caught so close to the finish line

Edit: Honore

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Majestic win.
I got a déjà vu to Sagans win in Richmond. Top class.

 

[RedheadDane]

I really like the Canadian races, but with van Aert on the start list this is not exciting. Who could beat him?

Glad to see an attacking rider win

He's just never afraid to work, never afraid to attack... of course you need the legs, but his attitude is great, too.

 

[sir fly]

Not just one of Cosnefroy's best, one of the best of the race.

Great move and push to the line.

Glad I was wrong again.

 

[Netserk]

Matthews not so dead after all

And Van Aert not as super as I thought

Van Aert also went quite deep over the top the penultimate time.

 

[Rollthedice]

The organizers decided to show Cosnefroy the surroundings after the race. They are walking in a park.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Why are they not showing the Eritrean flag?

Girmay is not from Equatorial Guinea. Are the graphics made by the people from the Ruta del Sol and Simac Ladies Tour?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Girmay 3rd, nice.
The lion of Asmara eats little Belgian boys for lunch!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Belgian Pozzato again overwhelmed and like a rabbit in car headlights in a big one day race, riding defensively and losing the race

 

[Alexandre B.]

Best moment of my year.

 

[DNP-Old]

And this guy won't be coming to Wollongong, shame.

 

[roundabout]

First result outside of the top-10 for Van Avermaet in this race

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

What a great race that was. Nice to see Cosnefroy win, super finish. And wonderful to see Biniam getting into shape for the worlds.

 

[Põhja Konn]

Super impressive by Cosnefroy, that long drag to the finish hugely favours the chasing group, but he was more than strong enough. Enjoyed having this race back and the ending was better than it used to be the last few times before the hiatus. It reminded why those Canadian races were so well received originally.

 

[Wvv]

After the Amstel farce, it's a very granted win for Cosnefroy.

 

[BR2]

And this guy won't be coming to Wollongong, shame.

He's not either?
