2025 National Championships

[Samamba]

Wellens who couldn't handle the heat prior to joining UAE is now better than Evenepoel in a 40 km time trial in 32 degrees Celsius after a gruelling 190 km race? UAE will make a complete joke of the TdF.

This isn't exactly true. He was already not struggling with it anymore as much before UAE. He started to do better in the heat in 2018 or 2019 already.

Another bad Cort performance in a one day race. I thought he had improved in this discipline after his top 10's in this spring. But today was a set back. Perhaps it's a sign that he's still in relatively bad shape as he was after the classics. It could become a long Tour for him.

Cort is never good in races that require good positioning - it's his greatest handicap.

The Tour is different, at the Tour he can get in breaks and that is where he is great.

Mikhels in blue black white, Skujins in bordeaux white bordeaux.

Who won Lithuania?
Edit: Ah, Mikutis!

(All the Baltics are in one race, right?)

 

[Boehmand]

It's so windy at the prize cerimony in Denmark, that the bunch of cycling kids on stage helping hand out medals, are huddled up in a bunch to not blow off the stage

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Norway with 3 laps to go. 6 Uno-X in front THJ, AHJ, Tiller, Hoelgaard, Leknessund and Dversnes. Followed 1 minute down by 3 more Uno-X, Kulset, Fredheim and Löland. Next group at 2:30 minutes.

Looking like the biggest Uno-X clean sweep yet in the Norwegian Nationals. 4 of the front 6 going to TdF so I wonder if they'll just give it to someone who will ride there.

Tiller, Dversnes and Hoelgaard has been the last winners, so make sense to have a new winner. THJ the most profilic.

True, but he had a super strong team with him today. Not saying he should have made it to the podium, but being out of contention long before the final circuit - that's worrying, especially because of his bad results in the last couple of months.

 

[RedheadDane]

Around 65 Ks to go in Spain.
They also appear to not believe in graphics...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Brit commentator just said another 2 hours or so to go, why not mention how many more kms to go while he was at it? (The GB graphics are really quite poor, I don't need to know how many hours they've already ridden, just give me how many more kms to go! )

This isn't exactly true. He was already not struggling with it anymore before UAE.

Just as it's not true that he beat Remco 40km. The race situation weighed heavily on Remco, who first crashed, then pulled the group through the 60km race, Wellens nothing because Vermeersh was pulling, and finally Philipsen killed Remco's chances.

I have a sun allergy, and you have to try various treatments until you find the one that best suits you. But it's better to look at the results of a national race to see how those types of allergies work. LOL

Kluckers and Mikutis with titles for Tudor, Skujinš with another one for Lidl Trek

Brother what are you talking about, I have had contact with Tim about it personally. It has gotten better at UAE, they have some "tricks" (and Im sure most teams nowadays do the exact same), but it was already not that big of a problem anymore just before Covid, definitely in one day races.

Also he doesn't technically have a sun allergy.

 

[Cycling111]

Remco looks angry.
He'll be thinking nice things about Philipsen. OMG.

 

[Danskebjerge]

So Mads P. says it himself: He decided not to attack Casper Pedersen because he wanted teammate Søren to win.

The Spanish broadcast is very vintage. I think there are better images of Anquetil's races.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Remco looks angry.

I don't know why. Philipsen rode perfectly. Remco knows he only wins if he drops everyone.

 

[Tim Cahill]

About 70 miles left in Britain?

 

[search]

maybe Zwift/Alpecin should have another look at their criteria, with Schiffer 3rd and Gaffuri 5th today.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Rory Townsend wins the Irish title, the race starting and finishing in the delightfully named village of Yellow Furze.

 

[RedheadDane]

Only 35 riders finished the Danish Wind Championships.

 

[Landeirovic]

Anyone know about Suisse NC?

 

[Prim]

Wellens didn't beat Remco in a 40km time trial. Did you see the race to say that?

Philipsen conditioned Remco too much.
Aside from the fact that Remco spent the previous kilometers pulling the group. And he crashed before.
By the way, Wellens had a little help from the moto

Don't just have to look at the result or final kilometers to interpret a race.

Did Remco chrash today you mean?

 

[carolina]

5 kms to go in Portugal. It's between Ivo Oliveira (UAE) and Pedro Silva (Anicolor)

 

[Boehmand]

So Mads P. says it himself: He decided not to attack Casper Pedersen because he wanted teammate Søren to win.

That's normal in any team.

Of course you don't attack a teammate to try and take the win for yourself.

Team Eriksson lost at the swedish Champs

TV production is quite amateur to be honest. I have to stop watching every few seconds for fear of getting sick of the shaky video.
