[Samu Cuenca]

Marton Dina takes the win in Hungary. The first elite NC win for Euskaltel since Ioannis Tamouridis in 2013.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I read that he did a Philipsen to an Anicolor rider. Some wheel-sucking.

He did not work for the last 5 km

[RedheadDane]

Brennan easily wins the sprint for 2nd.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chapeau Sam Watson for GB!

 

[tobydawq]

Hayter attacking then looking behind after sitting on the entire race, trying to bridge solo a 38 second gap with 1k to go, comedyshow.

He's just the worst.

 

[RedheadDane]

Vernon the best Ethan.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Watson wins GB. Rode the smartest. Brennan WAYYY too strong for his own good, 2nd.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Appalling performance by Ineos to only have one rider here, yet they may win.

Crash earlier.

 

[Onizuka999]

Embarassing for the Italian teams that a club (not even a ct team) with a budget of 90k that just covers it's rider's expenses (travelling and so no) and doesn't pays a salary dominates the NC.

That's the further proof of the decadence of the italian cycling...

That's the further proof of the decadence of the italian cycling...

Tbf, a club level team doesn't have to follow certain clinic related regulations.
That said, Conca was a talented u23 rider, 2 times top 5 on the gc in the Baby Giro.

 

[RedheadDane]

Brennan the U23 Champion.
Goes without saying that Couzens also won that title.

It's incredibly simple you see, there are 8 furlongs to a mile, and 1km is equal 0.62137 miles.

It's even simpler if you say 8 furlongs to a mile, 1 mile is 1.6 km.
This gives 1 furlong = 200 m, by mental arithmetic and no calculator required.

OK, it's less precise.
Exact is 1 mile = 1,609344 km, and 1 furlong = 201,168 m

 

[Cycling111]

2/3 of the podium riders aren´t pro riders, incredible. In a national championship with Milan, Ganna, Bettiol...

Adria riding decently well in the Spanish nationals. I thought people said he was in terrible shape. He definitely should have been on Redbull BHs Tour team.

Marton Dina takes the win in Hungary. The first elite NC win for Euskaltel since Ioannis Tamouridis in 2013.

If you consider them the same team. Even PCS doesnt (which ofc is correct) but they do with Q365 and MTN for example.

To me the main difference is that they unfortunately don't ride on Orbea bikes anymore, but it is a team run by the same foundation with the same primary sponsor as in the old days.

New people are in charge, for better or worse, and time will tell how much longer it will actually exist for now that they will no longer be able to take part in the Vuelta.

A corollary to this is that Attila Valter thus didn't defend his title. He wasn't even in the top 10 and only 17 riders finished the race. What an atrocious performance in an altogether terrible season for him. He seems to have just fallen off a cliff with his level.

 

[Cycling111]

The final winner of the day. As expected, Aular has achieved a double in Venezuela.

More on Italian NC Conci

• Swatt Club is short for SoloWattaggio Club (JustWatts Club!)
• He is running a B&B in Lecco
• He wouldn't mind a contract

Incredibile Conca: "Avevo aperto un bed&breakfast... e sono diventato campione italiano"

Pro’ fino al 2024, ora gareggia per Swatt Club, team amatoriale nato da un blog. Se non cambia, la maglia non si vedrà in gruppo. Ganna è stato male in corsa

Close call in Pedersen's ITT win - shortly before the finish

To be clear he was forced off the racing line by a police moto going too slow through a corner - the spectators were where they were supposed to be:

I missed this, but the parcours is clear and the police motor being too slow doesn't give you the right to just run through a crowd.

How this is not a DQ is *** shocking to me.

But back in the day around 2010 both teams existed! The nowadays Euskaltel-Euskadi team was a feeder team for the WT-team (or then it was ProTour I think). Then the WT team collapsed (after the first year with all those foreigners) and a few years later the once feeder team become a conti team and later proconti. The end is near indeed because they made the error of letting foreigners in once again.

But: the Hongarian champ jersey is nice. The colors of Hungary are red, white, green. The colors of Euskadi are..... . Looking forward for the jersey!
