European Cycling Championships | Plouay (24-28 August)

[SafeBet]

Beautiful race.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

stopped raining it seems

 

[jaylew]

Don't think this will be the Dutchies day.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dutch isolated the the Dutch

 

[RedheadDane]

So... who's the best sprinter of those two?
Or... should I say; who's the least terrible sprinter of those two?
And how far back is Kasia?

 

[RedheadDane]

Well... that answered those questions.

 

[jaylew]

AVV, wow. Great race.

I swear she was seconds from being dropped earlier.

 

[JosephK]

Vleuty does it again. Amazing. Maybe not feeling her absolute best, but wanted it the most.
Top 4 were all brilliant, though. Borghini was fabulous bringing back Annemiek's attack uphill with a few kilometers left.

 

[sir fly]

Fantastic racing!
Annemiek won but all four ahead were phenomenal.
And Cilie's starting to be taken seriously by the major rivals. Can't resist the impression the Dutch girls rode at her expense at times.

AVV, wow. Great race.

I could only tune in for the sprint and was really confused. Is it normal to wear your rainbows in this race ?

That damned crash!

I think I've figured it out; you can always wear a higher-ranked championship jersey at a championship. If that makes sense...

I think a rider wears those rainbows wherever she can.

 

[Breezy1985]

Ya makes sense I just don't remember seeing it before. My first thought was it was a rider from the UCI academy

Even riders from the UCI academy would be wearing their respective national team kits.

 

[yaco]

So AVV and AVD were the Dutch domestics and yet AVV still won the race.

 

[jaylew]

Really thought it was ELB's day with the way she chased AVV down when they were all in TT mode. It also looked like she really had AVV on the ropes with her last attack.

 

[Bonimenier]

Sagan wore his Slovakian kit when he became European champion though.

 

[RedheadDane]

Sagan wore his Slovakian kit when he became European champion though.

Which aligns with AvV wearing hers today.
A rider will also wear those rainbows whenever he can.

 

[RedheadDane]

And the people at assos have been hard at work!

 

[jaylew]

How does that align if Sagan wore his Slovakian kit despite being WC?

 

[RedheadDane]

I read wrongly...

 

[jaylew]

It happens

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

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

yeah, big chapeau to that guy

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

The women’s rr is a contender for race of the year

 

[DNP-Old]

Race is in pieces. Brenner, Le Huitouze, Portello, Ayuso and Arietta spotted in the front group.
