2025 WC: Thread for all the women's races + Mixed Relay

[Andy262]

Thank God for Blanka animating this snoozefest

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Vas drawing a Blank

 

[Netserk]

The Dutch were quick to neutralise the moves behind Vas.

 

[Netserk]

Flurry of attacks, but still no sustained pace over the climbs.

 

[Danskebjerge]

35 kph after half the WE race was completed. That was even slower than I had expected.

 

[Netserk]

It should be fast from now on.

Same pace as the U23 women is pretty normal. It's common for the men's elite versus the men's u23s and the men's u23s don't have WT riders

 

[JR1012]

Italy will run out of riders early.
The french and dutch team are playing this right now perfectly.

 

[Netserk]

France staying put for now. Will they attack later or take over after Italy is done?

 

[Red Rick]

This just gets closed on Kigali golf probably

 

[Netserk]

Time to squeeze the orange. Attack, don't pace.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Been one for the purists thus far.

It's 2025 and people still believe attrition makes for good racing

It makes... but I wouldn't expect a different opinion from a Roglic fan. Good racing is seeing prime Roglic cruising until his stomp with 1 km to go.

Van der Breggen has come alive.

Contradiction plus ad hominem doesn't earn you many points.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Switzerland have all five riders in the race. It's looking good for them.

 

[Peyroteo94]

So I don't know what cycling have you been watching in the last 25 years.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Big move just seems to have gone innocuously, half of these lot not paying attention.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Blanka at least wins the dignity of racing prize.

 

[Netserk]

So I don't know what cycling have you been watching in the last 25 years.

I think you do in fact know what cycling I have watched, more or less. But I don't see the relevance of your false statement even if it had been true.

You don't really think much about crit- circuit race style feeds until you see that each rider needs to get the handup on their own.. Better not miss that bottle. Each of these feeds are really critical, men's race it will be worse. Looks manageable at these speeds and peloton size

 

[Netserk]

PFP feeling good?

 

[Unchained]

You and I have been watching the same cycling I am guessing.. Lol..
I probably watched National Cycling League in the US.. But I was the only one until it went out of business for the 3rd time.. Otherwise we were likely watching similar cycling

I think you do in fact know what cycling I have watched, more or less. But I don't see the relevance of your false statement even if it had been true.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

well, PFP and Vollering both not responding to ELB's attack, but we have the likes of Niewiadoma, Le Court and GRAPES following. No impetus though, so it means little.
