2025 National Championships

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.

The alternative was crashing into the police moto

Maybe there's an option where you break before you go around because you obviously can't carry that much speed while dodging the motor.

But eyh, safety doesn't matter unless riders are complaining. Riders don't wanna get wet? Poor rider. Kid in the way? *** it I'll just blame someone else.

You don't want to get on the wrong side of some friendly traffic cops

Not the most surprising result...

The end is near indeed because they made the error of letting foreigners in once again.

The end is near because of the level of the riders they can attract and the UCI points system. They wouldn't be able to achieve more with purely Basque or Basque developed riders like in the old days when they don't have the money to keep hold of the most talented among them (the chance of them signing for them in the first place is also rather slim to begin with).

Another example of "Cyclists aren't made of chocolate" (as Brian Holm always says... for some reason...)

Bronze med brækket ribben: Uno-X-rytter trodsede smerterne

Solbjørk Minke Anderson kørte sig til en bronzemedalje ved DM, selvom hun efter kun 250 meter styrtede og trykkede sine ribben

Bronze with broken rib: Uno-X rider defied the pain

Solbjørk Minke Anderson raced to a bronze medal at the Danish Championships, even though she crashed after only 250 meters and bruised her ribs.

Uno-X had a good day when the women competed in the Danish championships in road racing in and around Aalborg on Sunday.

19-year-old Alberte Greve impressed when she secured the Dannebrog jersey for the coming year.

Her one-year-older teammate Solbjørk Minke Anderson took the bronze medal after she lost the sprint for silver to Cofidis' Amalie Dideriksen.

The fact that Minke Anderson, in just her second ever Danish Championship, takes third place is impressive enough in itself, but she was able to tell the press about an important detail afterwards that only makes the bronze medal even more remarkable:

– It happened right at the start, just when we had been sent off. The finish line had been rolled out, and there was a fold on one side. Rebecca (Koerner, ed.) and Alberte (Greve, ed.) just managed to get around it, but I rode right into it.

– I fall over the handlebars and land on my stomach. I have just been checked by a Samaritan and can confirm that I have compressed a rib. So it has been a bit of a long day, said the young rider, clearly feeling the pain after the Danish Championship race.

The route in Jutland was already tough with strong winds, many kilometers and steep hills, so a strained rib should equal a poor performance for most people – but not for the Uno-X rider.

However, it was far from easy for the 20-year-old to secure a top result with a rib that was not in optimal condition.

– It was really hard, I have to admit, and it was suddenly very far from home. I talked to Rebecca out there because I was in pain, that if it hurt too much, I had to stop.

– During the laps I was pumped with adrenaline, and it was through willpower and stubbornness that I completed, was the final conclusion from Sunday's bronze winner.

Rebecca Koerner from Uno-X also achieved a top position at the Danish Championships. She rounded out the top five and secured three out of the top five positions for Uno-X.

If you stick to your story you have an original format which can and will attract new sponsors. Pure Basque. Now they are just some ordinary low level PCT team. Last time this happened they should have chosen to become a PCT. With the level of riders they had wildcard were easy. But IGdG his ego was to big I think. Its a shame they have clothes of AGU; a Dutch brand which has gone bankrupt instead of Etxeondo.

Btw I made an overview for the NC's per team. Little mistakes are always possibles but I think it is like this.


UAE (6):
TT: Grossschartner, Morgado
Road: Wellens, Oliveira, Majka, Narvaez (and Schwarzbacher TT for Gen Z).


Intermarche (1):
Road: Zimmermann

Wanty devo-team has the Japanese ITT champion

 

[pastronef]

That mainly happens because teams get bikes from sponsors that have top of the line groupset. The same guys could win if they had Ultegra.

absolutely yes, mine was just a statistical curiosity

 

[RedheadDane]

Lidl (9):
TT: Hoole, Skujins, Ghebreigzabhier, Pedersen and Vacek

Now you can add Söderqvist (for the devo team, but he's making the step up next year.)

A bit late to the party (and new to the forum), but still wanted to share some of my roadside pictures from the Dutch men's race last weekend!

Van Poppel in good mood on the pre-race podium, describing himself as a "part-time sprinter" ...did quite well for that!

Not much action on the (non-televised) first round of the circuit

Got lucky to see the break of the day form right in front of me!

Taco after losing (getting rid of?) his glasses... or did he give them to the Picnic rider behind him?

Well, I guess giving them to the Picnic rider was one way to 'get rid of them'...
"Here! Hold these."

Or the Picnic rider stole them! From behind, in an impressive showing of skills.

On closer inspection of the next image, he even managed to transform the glasses into a gel

Hey, @Armchair Cyclist.
I think you can unsticky this now.

Frayre is clinging on for life here, hopefully Del Toro gets fed up of him and starts the conversations soon.

Cameraman appears to have had enough and has gone home with his camera still rolling instead of covering the rest of the race

Winner will be left to the imagination

One last win for Del Toro before Cosnefroy takes over.

 

[AmRacer]

UAE won again

 

[Berniece]

Del Toro win should be part of the 2026 thread, right? It’s part of next season

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

So...Can I ask what the club-name of the rider finishing third in today's ITT NC from Israel means?
