European Cycling Championships | Plouay (24-28 August)

No Filippo Ganna?

He is in self-isolation cause his teammate Leonardo Basso has Covid-19.

 

[memyselfandI]

Oh yeah, I forgot that, he was super fast at Italian nationals.

Interesting that Gamper is on the startlist for Austria, despite him being one of the BORA riders who were on the startlist for Bretagne Classic.

Oh yeah, I forgot that, he was super fast at Italian nationals.

And still unhappy with his performance, the heat affected him. He said that his power output dropped after 20-30min and that he could have been at least 10% faster.

Did they cycle a circle or

Perhaps he had no direct contact with the positive rider for 15min or its not the latest startlist.

He's definitely on the latest startlist, that's what caught my attention.

Gattos Corona-Test offenbar falsch-positiv | radsport-news.com

Oscar Gatto from Bora tested postiv. He was missing at the team presentation. The other riders were there in the morning but were not allowed to start at the end. They did another test today and the test was negativ.

I have to say that the start list looks stronger than I would have thought. It's going to be a nice watch.

Ridiculous that Denmark skip the race.

Probably it will be a showdown between Demare, Trentin and Van der Poel

With GVA, Vanmarcke, Naesen and Stuyven, I think the Belgians will have something to say to that.

Can't pass this up, @RedheadDane

Wait... what have I done?
Why would I mind the Belgians saying stuff?

He is in self-isolation cause his teammate Leonardo Basso has Covid-19.

Even before the self isolation he wasn't selected (and it's not the first time we see weird selection for the ITT from Cassani).

I really don't see what I did wrong...

Edit: TELL ME, Logic! Put me out of my misery!!

if VDP has any sort of day like he had last sunday they can put a whole army of Belgians there it wont really matter

Eekhofs performance yesterday also puts some perspective on it.

Well, the biggest Belgian weapon is whasping around in Nice. That could have been an epic duel.

My dark horse: Ballerini.

He will not start though. Bit strange since the second test of Gatto was negative, but well...

1	BALSAMO Elisa	Italy	75
2	UNEKEN Lonneke	Netherlands	40

They would say something "about" that, not "to" that in this context. I was thinking RHD could have made some joke about the Belgians talking to themselves or something.

The Belgians can speak to themselves as much as they want. They speak weirdly anyway.

Wauw

Eekhofs performance yesterday also puts some perspective on it.

With Eekhoff that strong yesterday it just confirms even though the dutch champs had the weakest field I can ever imagine it was still a strong performance

 

[Mayomaniac]

It should be Demare vs MVDP, with Kristoff and the Italians fighting for 3rd place/being the dark horses.
