National championships June 2021

[Libertine Seguros]

I guess it's between her and Lisa Brennauer, maybe Clara Koppenburg on a good day.

Personal opinion is that the climb isn't long enough for Clara to come in solo, and she'd lose a sprint to the other two. The question is whether it's long/steep enough for Lippert to get some separation from Brennauer, Liane has a pretty quick finish but Brennauer's is historically superior at least, however Liane is the better puncheuse, comfortably. The fact that the final run in is essentially ramrod straight from the climb until the last right hander on to the final straight would suit Brennauer who is the superior rider against the clock so Lippert would need a bit of a gap to try to hold it.

I agree. Lisa seems to be on good form (even though she says she isn't there yet as she's building towards Tokyo). She's the only one with a team mate and they seem to be in control of the group.
With the climb not being that hard/long it would probably take attacks by several other riders forcing Ceratizit to chase each time.
Liane got a bit sick in the TT yesterday, probably due to the heat. That shouldn't be such a factor today as it's earlier but we'll see.

Claudia Lichtenberg is Co-commentating by the way!

If I ruled the calendar and route designs, she would still be out there riding I miss Claudia...

and saving the day, the main commentator is a bit of a bore.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Looks like a two-up between the two favourites impending? Would expect Liane to sit on on the flat run to the sprint if she can't drop Lisa more decisively here.

Brennauer just too powerful, Lippert did what she could and made her lead out, but the sprint from Brennauer was just too decisive and explosive for her to contest.

 

[RedheadDane]

Brennauer took it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No excitement in that sprint. Nice bronze medal for Ricarda Bauernfeind (great name BTW)

Not quite a Schweinberger 1-2 in Austria.

01	Kathrin Schweinberger		Doltcini-Van Eyck-Proximus	1:56:24​	​
02	Verena Eberhardt		Team Rupelcleaning-Champion Lubricants	+ 00​	​
03	Christina Schweinberger		Doltcini-Van Eyck-Proximus	+ 01​	​

Welcome to The Netherlands, where we measure altitude in centimeters

A NC RR taking less than two hours is a bit ridiculous. Even my new best friend, Fiona Zimmermann, had to ride 20 minutes/3 km. longer to become Swiss junior champion.

Vita Heine won her fourth Norwegian title.

Women's RR Germany:

01		Lisa Brennauer	2:57:32​
02		Liane Lippert	+ 00​
03		Ricarda Bauernfeind	+ 09​
04		Kathrin Hammes	+ 09​
05		Hannah Ludwig	+ 09​
06		Carolin Schiff	+ 09​
07		Clara Koppenburg	+ 09​
08		Lisa Klein	+ 4:17​
09		Tanja Erath	+ 4:17​
10		Corinna Lechner	+ 4:17​

The German men's race could get interesting: thunderstorms with hail, heavy rain and wind gusts up to 100 kph are possible.

Does anyone know when the Slovenian road race is? i.e. I presume it should be today, but I can't find anything about it.

Thanks! I'm curious to see how Pogacar does if he's indeed in it, but he should be considering he did the TT a couple of days ago.

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

The slovenian road race starts at 2PM. Livestream is available on rtv.si

Pogacar is definetely competing

LoL...
E. Norsgaard before the start: "Blue doesn't suit me, I gotta get in red."

Not sure Movistar finds that funny

She has only spend three race days in the regular Movistar kit, so it's no wonder she doesn't actually like it.

Cille Uttrup Ludwig intro interview, in the pouring rain, with a giant smile:

"It's great, I love it, a lot will be beat before they even start"
"The only big problem will be beating Norsgaard".

 

[RedheadDane]

Not sure Movistar finds that funny

They don't speak Danish.

Uttrup: *Getting interviewed in pissing rain *

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Intro interview Kron:

"I experienced the podium last year (got 2nd to Asgreen last year), and have 2 WT wins this season. - The podium is always good, but it's not really worthwhile for me. It's all about the jersey, it's all or nothing".

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Cort intro interview was mostly him complaining about the finish to the route, and saying finishes like that should not be allowed.

- The finish has a corner 150 meters from the line.

Live pictures from the womens race in Denmark now.

Uttrup has attacked with 45K to go, and is out in front with an 18 year old amateur rider (Mille Troelsen, Odense Cykling), with 14 seconds to a group of 11, which includes Norsgaard.
