Bissegger has a 60x11 for the downhill part

 

[RedheadDane]

Will it be a new Swiss Stefan claiming the gold?

Walscheid crashed.

Gained a lot on the last part

Swiss TV mentioned it a few minutes before he finished.

[RedheadDane]

Did Bjerg just check if Bissegger is alive?

Gained a lot on the last part

Glad for Bissegger.
A decent consolation for his Tour mishaps.

oh... sorry... didn't realize that esp switched the coverage... yeah 30min is fine... still a bit short imho but fine. sorry.
(uec is still a joke though... just for those XCO courses last time and this year too)

You people and your jokes and memes...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did Bjerg just check if Bissegger is alive?

Yes, UAE is trying to save money by giving their riders medical training.

 

[Samamba]

I would say it is more surprising that Bissegger didn't crash than that he won.

Seriously, big win for the guy!

BTW, I'm guessing the reason they started with the men's road race was to give riders a chance to do both that and the Vuelta, and 15 riders have indeed jumped onto the fast plane to the Netherlands. Of course, it also has the nice bonus of making the women's road race the "big finale" for once.
Nobody has been crazy enough to do both the ITT and the Vuelta, even though it - technically - would be possible.

I though that the course would be a bit too hard for Bissegger but he was a good day and manage not to crash.

You wouldn't need that fast a plane to get from Munich to Utrecht in five days...

 

[Lequack]

Do they even offer slow planes?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Don't be giving Ryanair ideas...

Of course I had hoped for Ganna, but it is very nice that Bissegger gets this beautiful shirt now after all his crashes and bad luck!

 

[Lequack]

It's not strictly road, but in case anyone wants to watch, there is the women's MTB race going live in 10 minutes! Yesterday it was Tom Pidcock who won the race.

PS: It's raining in Munich so it's going to be a muddy race.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The women's road race is today.

** Lorena Wiebes
* Elisa Balsamo
* Some other riders

The only hope is that the non-Dutch teams have realised they have no chance in a sprint and will tru to rip it apart instead.

The Italians have a crazy team with eight of their 10 best sprinters.
