2023 World Championships team selections

[tobydawq]

Two Danish guys, mainly/exclusively talking (positively) about Danish cyclists, with "funnyguy humor" and the same stylistic traits. Not that i mind, i just thought it was funny when i thought about it, but judging from his response, i wasn't the first one to notice. Whether Boehmand is really Brocollidwarf, i don't know, nor do i really care.

I also don't know why BD got banned, but i guess that's a story for a different forum/topic.

I think broccoli deleted his account. So he is free to make a new one but it is pretty sad that he keeps pretending to not be him after people having caught him out for months (I think Netserk, Valv and I already realised it in April).

 

[Boehmand]

Yeah, 'weird'.

Welcome to the mute list.

I've had enough of this contstant BS, from now on anyone perpetuating this moronic drivel is instantly muted.

 

[tobydawq]

i n 2021 he went @ 130k before the finish? Probably the only favorite who is crazy enough to do this. (without other favs being present). Our belgian commentators went bonkers for the next 100k. (and not in a good way)

I think it was 180 to go that he attacked with Magnus Cort.

As said before, the last 3 Danish letters are written as "ae", "oe" and "aa" in English, surely I cannot be the only Dane who was taught proper English - so no, that is not a coincidence, at all, it's just proper education.

Also I find the obsession certain people have in here, with asserting I am someone else, quite irritating and moronic.

As explained to you before, that is only if you lack the æ, ø and å letters on your keyboard.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Oh I thought the joke was because they both had avatars of drawings by American cartoonist Gary Larson

Even English media respect riders enough to write their names correctly.

It's also a bit funny that writing with a Danish comma when writing English is perfectly normal - now that he is a Dane - but using the letters æ, ø and å is off limits.

Oh, ok. I hadn't really paid that close attention and i'm not that well versed in Danish punctuation so you'll have to forgive my tardiness. I didn't know why/when he left exactly or whether it was forced or not. But it is funny how he claims he isn't BD while it's painstakingly obvious and he's giving hints like with his avatar image.

 

[DNP-Old]

This thread is fun.

 

[SafeBet]

At what point we start talking about the cycling WC and not the trolling WC?
Or am I supposed to create another thread?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Let's see in San Sebastian, when Remco goes on one of his raids and no one follows, to win by a couple of minutes. We will see numerous riders withdrawing from the Worlds in anticipation of Remco doing the same, so see no point in participating.

I'm gonna go for a Colombian to win.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Parcour seems to be a wet dream for VDP though. technical, lots of small accelerations. Basically every uphil section is the length of a (long) sprint. Especially the last climb in the circuit.. if you can sprint over that... you will get 10-20seconds on a peleton who will most likely struggle through it. (or loose the workers).

Just doesn't need to forget to eat (2019) or be in less than ideal shape due to back problems (2021) or get into a fight with Australian teenage girls (2022)

MVDP and Worlds is as cursed as MVDP and Tour.

 

[Trofonios]

So will Wout be in top shape after a hard tour? In 2021 he won Tour of Britian ahead of Worlds but wasn't stellar in Leuven.

It is the correct way, in English

 

[tobydawq]

No

 

[RedheadDane]

Hey @Boehmand, can you put the race map and profile into the first post? Seems a bit more relevant than one country's (partial) lineup.

Are you telling me the UCI - an international/English speaking organisation - writes the names of riders incorrectly in English?

[Valv.Piti]

No its not the correct way, in English

Also your punctuation is not correct, in English, either

 

[Netserk]

As this is the worst OP in the history of the forum for an important event, I take it that this will be a general thread about the whole Championship and that we will open dedicated race threads for the specific events.

It's usually one thread for the road races and one for the TTs, right?

Although one thread for both men's events, one for the women's and one for the espoir/junior races might be better to prevent the latter two from getting buried by the former.

 

[tobydawq]

Wait til you see FIS and IBU trying to work with Finnish, and you see Maekaeraeinen or Maeaettae...

Torstein Traeen is already problematic.

Well considering what a mess this thread is, I’d say yes.

Not just the Road this year - MTB, Track, indoor cycling are included.....Though going by the media, you'd think it was a normal road Worlds.

That's for different subforums and therefore necessary by default, assuming there's enough interest on here.

Selfish best TTer worldwide Vingegaard not turning up is a disgrace.
