2025 National Championships

[Potomac]

Doesn't make much sense to hold a "Pro Road Championship" with only one pro at the start. At least he won. Just.

Second place, only 6 seconds back went to a 27 yo Anders Johnson who I never heard of. The only results for him in PCS was the 2024 New Zealand Cycle Classic 2.2

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is there a stream for the American Road Race? Unable to fine one atm.

 

[Potomac]

Quinn Simmons with three minutes and only 1 lap to go.
I think he has it.

Edit:

He wins it.

I know they didn't do it before, but EF should - if in any ways possible - design a jersey for Faulkner with the stars being gold coloured.

You all get 0.01 attempt - combined - to guess who's the new Finnish Women's Elite RR Champion.

Finn?

Finn?

No.

Sorry, everyone; that's the guess wasted.
Now you'll never know!





(Or you can probably figure it out.)

The Elite Men's race - otoh - was won by some random 45-year-old.

Valteri Bottas take note!

Mischa Bredewold continues her strong season by becoming the new Dutch time trial champion ahead of Visma's Riejanne Markus and Lieke Nooijen. The championship ITT spots haven't become easier to fill after this.

Olympic champion rower Ymkje Clevering rode the 6th fastest time (and almost beat Ellen van Dijk) to take the club/amateur title. Olympic medalist speed skater Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong won the separate road race a few days ago.

The men's ITT has just started.

Markus is not on Visma anymore. Nooijen is, and this was actually her first race day of the season, after suffering a broken vertebra in a training accident.

Antoinette de Jong winning the amateur race is a bit ridiculous really, she's a professional athlete but just in another sport, competing against actual amateurs. She shouldn't be in that race.

Now that makes me wonder:
Is there a sport that is so completely different from cycling that being a professional in that sport would not really give you much of an advantage over amateurs?
Like... sumo wrestling...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Markus is not on Visma anymore.

Well that's just another early sign of dementia.

Regarding De Jong, I don't know what the rules are. She also rode the race last year, but I know that Irene Schouten and Ireen Wüst have previously raced against the elite.

Ski jumping It's not an endurance sport. That's why Roglic' switch is so random.

Hoole picked up another Dutch NC ITT title today.
van Baale 2nd.

PCS reports that both had the same time at 36:40, so it was tight, sub second stuff.

Edit: PCS confused me (hello). Hoole won by 20s or so. Solid margin over 31kms.

 

[KZD]

Hoole has been on fire this season.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, in a rather unusual situation, the new Albanian ME RR Champion will be participating in the Danish Championships Sunday.

And #2 seems like not even being born yet.

And #2 seems not even being born yet.

TBF, riders not having their age listed happen all the time.

(And at least the birth year doesn't get put down as 0...)

There were actually 20 seconds in it, PCS probably published the rider order first and only then added the times.

No MVDP right?
