European Championships 2023: Road Races (September 22-24)

[Eddy Evenepoel]

So it will be Jumbo 1-2-3

Mads gonna win.

 

[Samamba]

De Lie always looks dead before a 15 MW uphill sprint.

That is true, but he needs to get there in good position and I don't think that will be the case if he' already dead.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ganna and Demare bridging into this long ass headwind just looks brutal

 

[Samamba]

Can they stop showing Ganna, he ain't coming back

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Ganna is behind peloton where Italy is pacing??

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ganna-bus

 

[Samamba]

Ganna is behind peloton where Italy is pacing??

Because Ganna is like 50 seconds behind, there is no chance he comes back. Right choice from Italy to give up on him.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Classic Belgian teamwork right there

 

[Samamba]

Wtf are Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands doing.

Laporte might be gone. Definitely if he can just sit in the wheel of the moto.

EDIT: Kooij actually ridiculously stupid to not just do some pulls, everyone is riding, you're just gonna make others stop riding.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good attack from Laporte, taking advantage of his 3 teammates in the group

 

[Red Rick]

They're letting him swim.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Mistake by Germany not to get a counter move going across... Degenkolb alone is in a bad situation and I think Koch and Engelhardt could be strong enough to make a difference and Degenkolb could sit back

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Beautiful moto draft sandwich for Laporte. Two in front, one behind, only thing missing is the helicopter slowing down the chasing group.

 

[tobydawq]

Dutch motos decided that Jumbo rider can win.

Yeah cause it definitely didn't just split because of a crash?

 

[joseph89]

WTF wout, not chasing laporte lmao

 

[joseph89]

Dutch motos decided that Jumbo rider can win.

Wout decided that a jumbo rider can win

 

[tobydawq]

Dutch motos decided that Jumbo rider can win.

Dutch motos changed their mind.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Between the drafting here and at Amstel and the Jumbo/SD Worx dominance, is it time to conclude that everything the Netherlands touches in this sport that isn't Van der Poel ends in disaster?

 

[Filippo_3467]

Yeah cause it definitely didn't just split because of a crash?

Couldn't see it in the images. But the group was maybe 15-20 seconds back at the last climb and they were blocking the italians and brits. Sure that's a valid tactic but I think more numbers in the front could be a better situation.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why does laporte look like a British or Italian orica greenedge rider?

 

[Didinho]

It’s for the chasers. Wout will win the sprint with 3 seconds.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Van Aert loses yet another sprint of a small(er) group for the win here, it should be the last one he gets to do for Belgium given that Philipsen and De Lie exist.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sandy Dujardin did quite a lot early but he's getting a free ride here.

 

[Mayomaniac]

"Riding for Der Lie? That doesn't Work for me, Brother!"
