2023 National Championships

[DNP-Old]

This French race is mad.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Really good this French race, you get the impression they all proper hate each other

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Once I saw the profile of the French NC’s I thought an exciting race could occur, but not expect the whole race blowing up with 95k’s. Proper race this one.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bennett should be arrested for being a thief.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Bennett dies and everyone is on their own in Ireland now. Healy - Townsend - Bennett - Mullen

Lol at that French race. People are just dead and there's 90 k's to go...

 

[Alexandre B.]

There will be less than 20 finishers in the French road race.

 

[Red Rick]

Bruh how long have they been previewing the Belgian mens race?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Bennett should be arrested for being a thief.

Bennett dies

The Irish judicial system sure works fast.

 

[RedheadDane]

The Irish judicial system sure works fast.

And is pretty harsh!

I think Godon might be feeling a little lonely...

 

[Samamba]

Bruh how long have they been previewing the Belgian mens race?

Every single time. It's getting so incredibly annoying. They alway promise live images at a certain hour and then they show this shiit for 45 minutes.

 

[Monte Serra]

Bruh how long have they been previewing the Belgian mens race?

Maybe Karl and José haven't finished their five course lunch yet?

Edit: apparently the air-conditioning in the commentary cabin was broken and had to be fixed.

Edit2: the pre-race analysis is dragged out more, even though the AC has been fixed.

 

[Tim Cahill]

If there's one thing I've learnt from cycling it's that Belgians sure do love some analysis

 

[tobydawq]

The Irish judicial system sure works fast.

What was the thief accusation based on anyway? Did he still some personal property of DNP?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Apparently no team radios in France. A bit crazy with that course.

I assume it was at dig at him for getting paid too much for the job he's doing.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Townsend had the gap to Healy back to 13 seconds at one point but as with Mullen earlier, it’s one thing to bury yourself getting close, it’s another thing to sustain his pace. Healy has broken him now, gap 1 min 20 and going out.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I assume it was at dig at him for getting paid too much for the job he's doing.

So he‘s stealing from his abusive husband?

 

[tobydawq]

Who is commentating with Rolf and Ritter? I don't really recognise that voice.

Troels Vinther.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

A resigned Townsend just asks “how’s he doing it?” when he gets an update on the gap

[Zinoviev Letter]

Five of the strongest riders in the field chasing a solo Healy for 90km made for a pretty good race. It took him up until just before the last lap to finally break their resistance.

2 minute gap to Townsend in second now

 

[DNP-Old]

Weird situation in Belgium. Van Aert is up the road with his whole team present sans Benoot, but neither Alpecin or QuickStep is too bothered, instead letting the work be done by Sport Vlaanderen and Tarteletto.

 

[Monte Serra]

It's getting ridiculous. Now Sporza is showing an in-depth interview with Jens Debusschere, instead of the race.

which explains why they dragging out everything. They hope they can jump in at some point and say there will be contention. (so dragging dragging ...)
