2022 National Championships

[RedheadDane]

(Less than) One lap to go in the UK.
CUL gobbling up renmants from the breakaway in Denmark.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Ireland: Eddie Dunbar is in a small lead group with three domestic amateur riders. The new TT and U23 TT champions, Ben Healy and Darren Rafferty are 20 seconds behind chasing as a group of 2.

The start finish is about 5km from where Dunbar grew up, and I suspect the goes through his village. You'd have to suspect he was intended to win.

 

[RedheadDane]

CUL has caught the front, making a front-trio.
Norsgaard and Dideriksen are chasing.

 

[BR2]

Lol, commentators talk about the confusion that Luis-Joe and Leslie Lührs bring them, one of them (female rider, so probably not that interested in men's):
"I always thought it was one person, just pronounced differently"

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks more and more like Towers is gonna go away with it all in the UK.

 

[RedheadDane]

Front trio about to be caught in Denmark.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Carlos Rodriguez went solo over the top of the last climb, with Herrada and Aranburu the chasing group.

 

[RedheadDane]

Just as the front trio got caught, CUL attacked. She was quickly caught by Norsgaard, though.
Edit, not quite. Took bit longer.

And Towers is the new British Champion. Georgi second, Henderson third.

She was actually never caught.

I think the gap was still one second when the last climb started.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looking good for Rodriguez.

 

[Dingo]

Cille disappeared up the road

Cille disappeared up the road

Lol at the commentators not being able to see that on the climb...

Rodrigstomp in Spain

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Carlos Rodriguez is your new Spanish men’s road race champion!

 

[RedheadDane]

LoL at the Danish commentators suggesting that Ineos might need to give Rodriguez a jersey a size smaller than the one Fraile's been wearing.

And I think it was Herrada who took the sprint for second.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Ineos are racking up the jerseys. That's six so far.

 

[tobydawq]

What a nice win for the crazy banana

 

[RedheadDane]

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig is the new Danish champion.
Norsgaard second.
Dideriksen third.

Rory Townsend as one of those "domestic amateur riders" still deserves a mention, though, I'd say. He'll be hard to beat for Dunbar, I guess, especially in pouring rain now. The other two in front are Cormac McGeoough (Wildlife Generation Pro Cycling) and Dean Harvey (Spellman-Dublin Port), who I'd say is the only real amateur up there

No Biniam in Eritrea

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Politt and Arndt on their own, no one seems to known what happened to Geschke and Kämna.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The women's race in Austria was almost a repeat of the ITT with Christina Schweinberger beating Kiesenhofer by a second and the third place finisher being 1:20 behind.

Also a French woman came 12th?

Yeah I was looking for them? They must be in between right? Or are they ahead and nobody knows lmao?

They're in between but no one knows how or why they were dropped.

 

[RedheadDane]

Pretty big break in France. Peloton at 2.20ish. 96 Ks to go.
No prize for guessing who's leading the chase.

105 Ks to go in Denmark. Six-man break - Kamp among them, giving Trek a tactical advantage - has 3:30 to the peloton.
