European Cycling Championships | Plouay (24-28 August)

[Mayomaniac]

If only they could win the WC once.

Yes, but on the other hand I have a hard time thinking about a coach of any national team that is actually doing a better job than Cassani. One also has to mention that he always manages to get the best out of Moscon in the big one and that Moscon seems to be a lot calmer and more relaxed when he's riding for Italy.
He also managed to get freaking Aru to work as a domestique in Rio, that alone is super impressive.

After last year I guess Cassani developed a long lasting immunity for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

 

[KZD]

Nizzolo is in great shape, let's see if he has the green jersey as a goal or only stages in the Tour.

 

[Sciatic]

Might also explain why Van Der Breggen didn't have a Dutch jersey for yesterday's GP de Plouay. The Boels-Dolmans tailor just deciding that; "She's probably gone win the European Championship anyway! Not going through with this."

2016 was definitely the first innoculation then.

Any news of the u23 race? Must be finished around now

Last lap. 8 men in front but peloton closing in.

Edit: gap only 10 seconds with 7 km to go.

The break apparently managed to stay away and Hvideberg won.

Best way to deal with the disappointment of just narrowly missing out on the national title.

 

[Bushman]

Nice result from Charmig. The guy was considered a major talent as a junior but quit cycling in 2017 and didnt pick up his bike until last year.
He’s going to UnoX next year iirc.

He already is with Uno-X and has been for three years.

No he isn't... but he's joining the Development squad next year, and will step up to the pro-team in July.

That awkward moment when the Dutch riders are so good that half the team is on the "main contenders" list.

Girls really don't have luck with the weather.

 

[RedheadDane]

Dutch riders just owning this race.

Hope Deignan is okay.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Looked to be a bad crash for Deignan. She's out of the race.

 

[Bushman]

He already is with Uno-X and has been for three years.

Eh, no he is not. But he is, as RedHeadDane mentioned, joining their dev team from next year.

 

[RedheadDane]

Gotta love Uttrup, though:
Crashes.
Chases back on (to the second group)
Attacks multiple times.

She's a Viking, what did you expect?

 

[SafeBet]

Can Dutch speakers please translate the dialogue between Blaak and AVV so I can inform Longo Borghini before it's too late?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Elisa LB!!!

 

[jaylew]

I think Blaak will get back

 

[RedheadDane]

I *** love cycling.

Well... attempting a less than 10 Ks solo, that's nothing.

 

[jaylew]

4 up TT

 

[jaylew]

Weird move from AVV. Blaak was likely going to get back. In any case, she should have let them work on the front for longer.

AVV isn't super today.
