2023 National Championships

[Samu Cuenca]

I read that route for Danish national RR is identical with the one of last year. Is this really true? I know last year it was a part of "DM Ugen" in Aalborg ("Danish Championships Week" in like almost every sports dicipline, like an oplympic games event on a national level).
But did DCU make a contract of same RR route for years? In that case it sounds plain stupid to me.

(Sorry and pls bear with me, is missing everything these months in my life..).

As I understand it, DM-ugen will continue to be a thing, but it's in Herning next year.

Skjelmose dropping Kragh the last time up the 2nd last hill, Kragh looks completely burned out.

Kron passing him and going after Skjelmose... proving the Lotto story he is not in shape for the Tour is BS.

 

[Red Rick]

Climber Remco is MIA.

Aero merchant Remco is back baby

 

[RedheadDane]

Andreas... are you sure you're not in shape for the Tour?

Kron passing him and going after Skjelmose... proving the Lotto story he is not in shape for the Tour is BS.

His results recently didn't exactly scream form...

 

[Jagartrott]

Gotta hand it to Evenepoel. Had a frustrating TT, then a parcours in the road race that seemed only suited to sprinters, but he made the split with 30 km to go, then the deciding split with 10 km to go, did most of the pulling, started the sprint in first place, and won. Completely deserved victory.

And yet you can see with your own eyes how his shape is

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Aalborg for the second and final time today.

It will be a flat and boring stage next year (unless they include gravel sections).

Ok, thanks.
Though I'm keen of hilly routes (this years route could with a little willingness have the finish line situated in Møllleparken with an 8-10%er uphill ramp to finish), IMO it's important with variations in route thoughness, suiting different kind of riders.

Well, bit hard to know that before today.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sure, but the Danish NC RR is not exactly a three week Grand Tour.

 

[Boehmand]

Skjelmose dropping his chain, but quickly gets it back on, still out in front, but now with less of a gap to Kron.

 

[Boehmand]

Sure, but the Danish NC RR is not exactly a three week Grand Tour.

As hard at the race has been, nobody out of shape will be in contention at the end.

So that's why WVA dropped off early, he didn't fancy a sprint with Remboy

 

[RedheadDane]

Skjelmose dropping his chain, but quickly gets it back on, still out in front, but now with less of a gap to Kron.

Are you sure? It said 18, not it says 24. 24 is a bigger number.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I’ve just noticed that some kid won the Irish Junior Women’s RR by 7:36. The race was only 65km long.

 

[Samamba]

Someone a stream for danish one pls???

Not only deserved, it was a monster performance. The boy rip this race apart. He is born for one day races.

Mørkøv agrees with you. ;-) (He's the one who has won most championship medals in the last 10 years, but has no chance on a route like the one today.)

 

[Boehmand]

Skjelmose has now increased his lead to Kron, and seems set for the title.

Kron is getting reeled in by Charmig and two others, and those 4 will fight for silver.

No, but Bak-Klaris and Bregnhøj are also in good enough shape for this race, but no team would select them for the Tour either.

I only realised today that the Irish nationals were in my home town (as in where I grew up). Wish I'd gone to se the Healymonster.

 

[DNP-Old]

Frank van den Broek (no, not that one) is smashing the Dutch race.

 

[Big Doopie]

When r the euros? He needs that RR!

One more down on the entire championship sweep!

 

[Boehmand]

Their teams are not riding the Tour.

 

[Samamba]

Just like you could see in Suisse how his form was... Looks like he got better quick, but you can't just change your selection now ofcourse. Also completely different than a GT ofcourse.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Their teams are not riding the Tour.

Yeah, that was obviously the point I was making.
