The wind will be around 30km/h and coming from the North, and 2/3 of the race they are riding to the North.It looks like there's going to be a lot of wind.
That doesn't sound ideal for Pedersen's plan to ride with two full disc wheels.
They should switch and do the RR that day with that amount of wind!The wind will be around 30km/h and coming from the North, and 2/3 of the race they are riding to the North.
Would make it too easy for Evenepoel. Give Pogacar a chance at least!They should switch and do the RR that day with that amount of wind!![]()
It’s not showing on RTVE’s schedule of direct streams for this coming week; that is where I usually go for Spanish races.Anyone in Spain or Portugal know what channels are showing the European Champs? Hoping it's not just Eurosport so I can dial in with my VPN!
Belgium called, so he answeredKind of weird that Remco is racing this, since he has already won it and is giving so much importance to the ECRR.
I still think that he should be the favourite even though Ganna should be close. Look out for Hayter that dominated the Tour of Luxembourg TT, he is my pick for 3rd.

there's a list of all channels showing the races on the UEC website:It’s not showing on RTVE’s schedule of direct streams for this coming week; that is where I usually go for Spanish races.
So no live images for any of the U23 and JR races, correct?there's a list of all channels showing the races on the UEC website:
So only Eurosport in Spain and Portugal, but a free-to-watch option would be Rai, for example.

yeah, I think one year those races were on Youtube, but usually there's no live coverage.So no live images for any of the U23 and JR races, correct?
It's not like they decide its place on the calendar, right? Isn't that the UCI?That route and its place on the calendar - I mean right at the tail end of a remote WC - seem like a deliberate provocation against basic intelligence of riders and fans.
Huh?Just bumped in.
If the organizers of this rather new EC puppet wants to be taken seriously and not remain a ridiculous little parenthesis, then they should hire route designers with at least some suitable brain leftovers.

Downright horrible.
Admitted, my use of the term "organizers" was too vague.It's not like they decide its place on the calendar, right? Isn't that the UCI?
Wind will be around 30km/h but there might be gusts of wind up to 60km/h. Even though it's only 24km's it can get a bit hard due to the wind. Evenepoel expects an effort of around 28min.
Admitted, my use of the term "organizers" was too vague.
The UEC works with the chosen host city and national cycling federation to determine the routes.
So the route fault is on their shoulders together.
The route as well as the placement on the calendar must be approved by the UEC and UCI.
So this one is both on UCI and the UEC.
My main complaint is ofc the length itself.What's the problem with the route apart from it being to the short side?
The first three years, the ITT was 45-46 kms, but since 2019 it has always been between 22 and 31, so it must be a conscious decision (for reasons I don't really get) to have a shorter length.
You must have a big problem with athletics, swimming, rowing, cross-country skiing and biathlon.My main complaint is ofc the length itself.
IMO anything below 50k for a discipline that is supposed to crown a champion cannot be taken serious.
Like the WCTT next year, a partial explanation is egalitarian signalling. My fear is that the brainrot will wreck the road races as well.Alfini is missing, could compliment the Italian team. Anyway, the TT is about 20km too short.
Strange response to my post. I have enjoyed cycling since as ever my memory goes back and I'll not let it slip.You must have a big problem with athletics, swimming, rowing, cross-country skiing and biathlon.
Maybe formula 1 could be your thing?
Honestly, there are quite a few people who think the 50 k in Cross-country skiing is most important. I also mourn the loss of the 50k race walk, especially because I doubt the 35k replacement has any large upside for viewers. It‘s still 2:30 long.You must have a big problem with athletics, swimming, rowing, cross-country skiing and biathlon.
