2024 National Championships Overview Thread

[RedheadDane]

That didn't look good for Pablo Garcia...

 

[Potomac]

I would suggest watching Britain.
Mostly because I'm not sure the other two are available internationally. Otherwise, I'd of course suggest all three.

I have a VPN...but I can't seem to find where to watch the Danish race. Is it behind a paywall?
Is the course dead flat?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

With 140km to go, Victor Campenaerts & Florian Vermeersch (Lotto-Dstny), Quinten Hermans (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal-Quick Step), Ludovic Robeet (Cofidis), Abram Stockman (TDT-Unibet), Ward Vanhoof (Flanders-Baloise), Jens Reynders (Bingoal-WB Devo), Gianni Marchand (Tarteletto-Isorex), Gerben Kuypers (Intermarché-Wanty) have roughly 5 minutes on the peloton, in the Belgian NC.

Kopecky won solo.

It's on TV2/TV2 Play.
The course is in Herning, a region not known for its hills.

Aranburu winning.

 

[Wvv]

Really nice silver for the retiring Sanne Cant. Shame Fleur Moors didn't make it on the podium, but at 18 years old this was very strong.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

In Ireland it’s the usual pattern: the WT/PT pros plus a few of the strongest other guys attack from near the start so there’s no traditional break and no tactical messing around with large domestic teams.

 

[RedheadDane]

Large group away in Denmark. Among them Skjelmose and Asgreen.

Despite having Skjelmose in the front, Trek is not happy with the situation and has sent the kids to the front of the peloton.

 

[Rob5091]

I see winning by 10 minutes is a current habit in the Pogacar household. Chapeau Urska.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The leaders in Germany now have almost three minutes on a five-man chase group consisting of Zimmermann, Hollmann, Engelhardt, Rutsch and Herzog. Then come four chasers from Conti teams. The Peloton is already more than four minutes behind the leaders.

 

[Wvv]

Spain has a full result right away, for the 11th spot in Belgium we'll have until the jury had their late night dessert.

Will never understand why we are this slow, while having the most experience with cycling races.

 

[Monte Serra]

Chantal van den Broek-Blaak taking her first win since her comeback from maternity leave in the Dutch NC road race.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mads P., Cort, and Lund on their way to the front.
But so's the peloton.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Teutenberg, Heiduk, Brenner, Lipowitz and Zwiehoff have expanded their gap to over 3:30, Rapp and Denz have joined the five chasers.

 

[RedheadDane]

Less than 50 Ks to go in France.
Front group has 28 seconds.

 

[Netserk]

Less than 50 Ks to go in France.
Front group has 28 seconds.

It's heating up.

Is Ag2R gonna get their first French title since 2007?

 

[Rob5091]

From Belgium Nats - an unusual dq -

Bingoal-WB is very unfortunate to lose its fast man. Sasha Weemaes has been kicked off course by the race jury for an illegal bike change, one from the side of the road instead of from the car.

Or Cofidis their first since ever? (If I'm not mistaken.)

That's not unfortunate that's just *** around and finding out

 

[Izzyeviel]

I dont know that the British one will be interesting as basically its ride the laps, then monster the final climb course, but maybe the men will attack more, a lone attacker might just get away, though not even sure who Id say is favourite for it.

Great win for Pfeiffer, despite nearly being taken out by a marshal.

I'm starting to think the DSM women don't like their team kit...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Marco Brenner (the next Remco Evenepoel) has gone solo at 55 k to go. Lipowitz and Zwiehoff have gone off in pursuit

Them and SD Worx...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Marco Brenner (the next Remco Evenepoel) has gone solo at 55 k to go. Lipowitz and Zwiehoff have gone off in pursuit

Brenner has immediately sat up again and the group of five has come back together.

 

[RedheadDane]

Alaphilippe goes!
But doesn't get away.

 

[tobydawq]

Did Mikkel Bjerg forget that Pogacar is not riding the Danish nats?

Or does he hope that by helping Mads Pedersen here, Mads will return the favour at the Olympics?

Or what in the world is he doing?
