2024 European Championships in Heusden-Zolder/Hasselt (September 11-15) Discussion Thread For All Races

[Coffeeplanter]

We are looking at the magnum opus of the hideous helmet.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Well at least Küng won something the other day.

 

[Samamba]

Segaert about to have the fastest time of the day lmao

 

[Berniece]

Segaert about to have the fastest time of the day lmao

Then I definitely want to know who made the decision to let him ride U23

 

[Samamba]

Then I definitely want to know who made the decision to let him ride U23

Pros are riding half their TT in the rain, not comparable of course.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great time for Affini! Good enough for 2nd in the U23 category!?

 

[Danskebjerge]

You'll be outside the top 10 if you ride slower than 50 kph in average (in the rain).

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Thymen 'atacama' arensmen not gonna be in the podium

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cattaneo going so well he's about to get called back for Landa

 

[Heston]

Its gonna be another silver for Kung isnt it

 

[Samamba]

Wind is also getting worse.

It was also really strong earlier, so not that much difference, or at least on average, wind gusts are worse. But yeah overall, just not comparable. I mean Soderqvist and Mouris would also be top 5.

 

[Samamba]

Affini is European Champ, that's a surprise

 

[Danskebjerge]

At least Küng was beaten by more than a couple of seconds.

 

[search]

In the Sporza article about today, Campenaerts said that one of the Italians went for post-Vuelta partying on Sunday.

Whoever it was... seems like Madiot was right that a beer doesn't hurt much -

 

[Heston]

Double Italian on the podium damn. Did not see that coming

 

[Danskebjerge]

Janus the pelican was flying today and finished 21th.

 

[Samamba]

So Campenaerts said before the race that one of the Italians went mayham on the pints after the Vuelta. Was it Affini cause if so Plugge should change his opinion about beers.

 

[yaco]

Affini seemed to take it easier in the Vuelta ITT on Sunday which could have made it different.

 

[RedheadDane]

So Campenaerts said before the race that one of the Italians went mayham on the pints after the Giro. Was it Affini cause if so Plugge should change his opinion about beers.

It would be quite impressive to still be affected by beer he had after the Giro.
Did you, perhaps, mean the Vuelta.

 

[Samamba]

Holy *** Affini's accent is proper Dunglish

I mean he speaks Dutch at home apparently

But yeah it's quite funny

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Cattaneo podium !!! Yes !!!!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Holy *** Affini's accent is proper Dunglish

No surprise, he raced for SEG racing academy for 3 years in the u23 ranks and this is his 4th season at Jumbo, he had more than enough time to develop that accent.

 

[Didinho]

Fratelliii d’Italiaaaaa!

 

[Squire]

Guess different conditions played a part, but nobody beat Segaert's time.

 

[meat puppet]

First TT win for the glorious helmet?
