Bob Jungels defeated Alex Kirsch by 3 seconds

A NC of only 17km, what kinda *** is this?

Its getting really bad. Gotta get UCI involved to set some minimum distances.

So do I: I don't get the reliance of many on the stickied list.

But if you use the same route in that I do, why were you keen that it should be on the stickied list?

Oh. Purely because I’m excited about the NC races this weekend, was glad to see it mentioned here, and when (I forget who) requested the sticky my comment was just meant as applause for everything NCs. As in, “yes let’s get on board the hype train.” Sounds like you might have taken my meaning to be like I was prodding or pushing you folks to make that happen; if so sorry I didn’t communicate more clearly!

To be fair it's luxembour mate they probably don't have 200km of roads to use. But yes congrats to jungels for coming out from retirement to win the national prologue championship

It's a small country, and this is how they always do it.

Circuits are allowed.

You do realize it's just a circuit like almost every NC, they could just do more laps

You are aware he has just finished Tour de Suisse, and had 33 race days prior to today this season?

It was just a joke about his decline as a rider.

 

[Pozzovivo]

I wonder why the level of Jungels' declined as he was reaching his on paper peak years. I fondly remember him fighting Adam Yates for the white jersey in the giro back in the day. One of my favorite riders at that time. I wish he would dance again. Mr. Bob Jungels (Bojangles).

before the Tour de Suisse Jungels said that he is in the best shape in a long while, so maybe there's a bit of performance to come.

But on the other hand, he still had something to show to make the Tour team, so I guess those ~25th places in Switzerland were more or less his current limit.

Tour of Luxembourg not the fourth grand tour in your opinion I suppose.
