nono I think it was, but I was confused by Dani & Jo literally not calling the winner there, just talking about the teammates (annual complaint about I thought the UCI rules said you rode alone), what a great race and saying Blanco alot and now weve shot off to some MTBing and didnt see a results caption.

I don't think anyone is actually following that rule... and in some countries, it actually makes for more interesting racing, as the teams with the largest numbers are the lower ranked teams.

no I dont think anyone does anymore, but it is still a rule I think :) it just bugs me when the commentators treat these races as though theyre normal team tactic style races, when they shouldnt be by rights.

I wouldn't say they're usual team tactic style races.
Nothing's usual when there are riders riding alone, and teams of 20+ riders.

Only saw the last ten kilometers of the German women‘s race, consisted of Antonia Niedermaier, Liane Lippert and Franziska Koch just rolling through even on the climbs, one attack by Koch, before Koch won the sprint by a million miles. Very weird

Famous last words but ELB looks to have this wrapped up with 8km to go


And does, keeps the Italian road jersey for another year

222 km up and down, left and right, cobbles and all the fun of the fair as is normal in Belgium.

Who will wear the Danish TT champ's jersy? No one by the way things are - Skjelmose says he's happy with being runner up -
https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling...h-the-champions-jersey-and-medal-i-was-handed
"I gave it everything I had, but was less than two seconds behind Johan Price-Pejtersen when I crossed the finish line. The fact that Johan was subsequently disqualified for, according to the commissioners, having taken advantage of riding on the cycle path on part of the route, and that I thus got gold instead of silver, I neither can nor will I take responsibility for. It was not a decision I sought out or pushed for - on the contrary." "On the other hand, I would like to express my great sympathy for Johan, who is not just a fantastic time trialist, as we saw yesterday, but whom I consider a good friend in the field. I have therefore offered Johan that he can have both the Champion's jersey and medal I was handed at the ceremony - to acknowledge his performance, so that it does not go down in history as pure annoyance."

The jersey he was handed would be a purely podium piece of kit: I doubt Pejtersen would want to hang it on the wall. I suspect Skjelmose would be liable to a fine if he doesn't wear it in competition: he had better try to get into a leaders' jersey before the time trials in any races for the next year.

Sebastian Brandt Christiansen is the new Danish Junior Road Race Champion.
A large group got away, and the peloton - with Withen - never made it back.

Meanwhile, I just got the answer to the Uttrup riddle from the ITT, she's not riding the road race either; back problems...

In the Elite (+U23 + Junior) Women's race two riders have 2:30 minutes.
Less than 100 Ks to go.

In the German ITT Women's champs, Mieke Kröger won with an old GreenEdge-Scott bike she bought from her coach ten years ago. It's apparently still faster then everything she got from her pro teams later on.

Schritt zurück hat sich gelohnt: Kröger auch zum Olympia-Zeitfahren? | radsport-news.com

I was surprised she was able to beat Niedermaier considering she's been fully committed to the track this year, but I guess the Canyon bikes aren't what they used to be either.
