2024 National Championships Overview Thread

[Sciatic]

The US men gained spots because of their road performances in the last Olympic cycle. I wouldn't take Sheffield because he crashes too much. Anyway, the Olympics will be a crap shoot with the reduced peleton. There will no place for Domestiques in this event.

But then you’re giving up a shot at a high placement in the ITT, right?

Yeah but let's be honest. Who would care about McNulty finishing sixth in the ITT?
And does the American cycling association care about that? Or would they rather have McNulty, Quinn and Powless battle it out for medals in the road race?

And Sheffield crashed again today. Too risky when you have limited numbers.

Question:
Shall I add Serbia to the tables in the first post, or is it too minor a country for that to make sense?

(I already went and removed a bunch of countries I'd originally included.)

I have also noticed that I somehow missed the youth classes of Belgium happening. That shall be fixed!

You want to fix races now? You little rascal!

Fixed by adding it to the table, dumbo!

Rolf and Ritter were nice enough to tell me.
(Not me specifically; everyone watching Dauphine in Denmark)

2025 US Elite Men Road Race Nationam Champion: Sean Quinn Simmons.

I was thinking someone with the last name 'Sean'. Unfortunately, it seems 'Sean' isn't all that common as a last name.

 

[Anderis]

Unfortunately, it seems 'Sean' isn't all that common as a last name.

It doesn't have to be common, you only need one man.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Surely the next US champion will need to have Quinn as a middle name.

 

[Sciatic]

Surely the next US champion will need to have Quinn as a middle name.

Or, if those two manage to win the Nats race for the next three years we will have a quinntuple!

 

[Potomac]

Simon Sean will be the next US champ

Does anyone have a good link to a schedule of the upcoming championships these next two weeks?

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Welp, atleast we will see the Finish NC-jersey for another half year in the pro peloton

Good question: when I tried to filter for “NC” in upcoming races on PCS, the result list of races was obviously incomplete.

It's probably the first time since Veikannen we really have the chance to see it on the road (apart from Henttala, which might have participated in a couple of races with TV coverage).

Let's hope for some kind of miracle that allows Jaakko to stay on a professional CT.

Maybe Uno-X?

From what I understand, they're quite determined to remain a Norwegian-Danish team only.

Jakob Söderqvist won the Swedish TT NC just ahead of Ludvigsson. I thought he would have won by more but he has had a busy schedule recently.

In the women’s event retired triathlete Lisa Norden (Olympic silver back in 2012) won in poor competition. I guess there will be more pros at the road race. Rissveds is not doing any road this year though.
