2024 National Championships Overview Thread

[Gigs_98]

Urska won by over ten minutes, a Moldovan won the mens title in Romania, & have we finally got a new womens Luxembourg champion or have they rigged it yet again?

Pogacar could never.

 

[Miha81]

I was pointing out that the stuff UAE makes can hardly be considered a Champion Jersey:

If they wouldn't even make a decent jersey for Pogacar, I doubt they will for Novak...

OK. Probably they will keep the same boring design

 

[awavey]

How many Km in a lap?

26km, they're on the last lap now...exciting isn't it

Very smart celebration Dylan

I know he doesn't have many fans, but I wouldn't go looking for them in that part of the population. It's not exactly going to make him more likeable.

 

[RedheadDane]

if Pogacar got married to not-yet-Pogacar then Pogacar would

Pretty sure it's a when, not an if.

OK. Probably they will keep the same boring design

When I become President for Life of the UCI, I'll put an end to such nonsense.

 

[Potomac]

My neighbor's new baby is named Max Walker.
So, that's who I am rooting for.

I mean I just assume it's by accident

 

[Samu Cuenca]

When I become President for Life of the UCI, I'll put an end to such nonsense.

Pretty sure it's a massive if, not a when.

 

[Miha81]

Dream big they taught us.

Where do I put in my application for campaign manager?

Congratulations to Urška Žigart for the double, Domen Novak for becoming a national RR champion and to Matej Mohorič for becoming national TT champion. I especially enjoyed the mens RR on where Gal Glivar did tremendous job and both UAE team members used the strength of numbers and successfully cracked Moho before the last climb on Grmada, Moho likely a bit disappointed in not winning the RR title, he fought bravely, though.

Askey, Hayter & Walker group of 3 at the head of the race with a gap. Swift Blackmore, possibly Donaldson & 1 other next group on the road, rest are all 1min back

It's not gonna be a campaign.
It's gonna be a coup!

I especially enjoyed the mens RR on where Gal Glivar did tremendous job and both UAE team members used the strength of numbers and successfully cracked Moho before the last climb on Grmada, Moho likely a bit disappointed in now winning the RR title, he fought bravely, though.

Is there any information what was wrong with Domen's bike? That squeaking noise on last climb was so loud.

Ineos made a tactical mistake in not releasing Swift earlier. It was obvious that Donaldson and Blackmore were riding their own race.

 

[awavey]

They keep showing Swift like he's catching but the time gap is over 1min and <10km to go

Ah the dodgy mobile.signal part of the course strikes again

 

[RedheadDane]

They keep showing Swift like he's catching but the time gap is over 1min and <10km to go

So... he's not swift enough?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

You're kidding right?
Nys has a great sprint, heck, he has won bunch sprints before...

Nys burned a lot of matches in the final, attacking, bridging...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Very smart celebration Dylan

"Es geht um Deutschlands Gloria, Gloria.."

PLZ tell me it wasn't intentional, or did he actually pull a Di Canio?

 

[awavey]

Impressed how little work they're letting Hayter do in that group

 

[Tim Cahill]

Walker and Askey need to work Hayter over a bit, he's just being dragged to the line here.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Is there any information what was wrong with Domen's bike? That squeaking noise on last climb was so loud.

ATM no, something was definitely loose, luckily it didn't play a role in determining the outcome.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Lewis, can't be arsed seeing the British champs jersey lollygagging towards the back off the peloton looking uninterested for the next year.

 

[Netserk]

Groenewegens salute final form

For some reason, your image won't load.

 

[postmanhat]

Ineos (rightly) thinking of not renewing Hayter's contract. But would they pass up the chance of having the British Champion hanging around the back of the peleton, getting them lots of free publicity?

For comparision, Plapp has arguably been one of the most visible Jayco riders this year for the same reason?
