2024 National Championships Overview Thread

[Escarabajo]

Revitalized Martinez blew everyone away. Just crazy fast. Second at 1:38. Maybe we'll see a new Martinez this year. Maybe Red Bull will give him wings!!!!

This Sunday will be the Colombian nationals which is a very tough cookie. 213 k over 2000 m of altitude. Crazy. It is up and down around Quintana's backyard.

Do you have a course profile? I looked all over the NC webpage but couldn’t find it. For the women’s U23 race I think they posted a profile the day before or that morning.

Quick question; was there a women's U23 title being handed out at the same time?

Quick question; was there a women's U23 title being handed out at the same time?

I think so as the riders who finished in 5th and 6th are both only 21 years old

According to El Tiempo newspaper, DNF did a better time the one Induraín did in the same route in 1995 WC .

Ataque de Egan Bernal, on the downhill with a big move at 66k to go!

 

[Salvarani]

Can someone give a rundown on what the situation of the race is?

 

[Samamba]

I'm so confused, which group is in the lead?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bernal, HIguita, Riveira and 2 others have attacked and have around a minute(?) on the main group containing Uran, Quintana and Martinez etc

There is still a breakaway around 3 minutes up the road from the group.

Could be completely wrong as I don't speak a lick of Spanish,

 

[Samamba]

Does that random break stand a chance? No idea what the parcours is.

Unlikely, they have been out for a long time and look to be tiring, the gaps look static but it is going down, GPS isn't real-time.

Yeah probably, but am I wrong in saying that it might be Bernal vs. Higuita for the win? They have a minute already and peloton doesn't really seem to be working.

Yes I think the 5 will make it, fractured race and lots of inter-team rivalry too so the chase is disjointed. Brandon Rivera is in reasonable form too, so he has a chance but as far as I can see Higuita is fastest in the group.

Edit: Bernal group are now catching random parts of the early day break, but have lost a rider.

 

[Salvarani]

Started a timer of my own.

Bernal group around 2 minutes and 50 seconds behind.

Started a timer of my own.

Bernal group around 2 minutes and 50 seconds behind.

Also 2:20 ahead of Martinez and Nairo

"Groupo Nairo"

 

[yaco]

This appears to be the same course as last year - It's not that challenging, so I doubt the second group can bring back 3 minutes in 30kms.

 

[Salvarani]

Started new timer.

2 minutes and 30 seconds now for Bernal group.
