National championships June 2021

[Libertine Seguros]

Utrrup refusing to work now, insisting on sitting last in the group.

As is absolutely correct, she has been away solo and has no chance in a sprint unless she exhausts the others (edit: actually we're talking Cille vs. the likes of Norsgaard. She probably has no chance even if she does exhaust the others. She needs to escape them). Dideriksen and Leth were making Norsgaard do all the work chasing for the same reason, which is why Emma gave up and then attacked them.

Wasn't passing judgement - just relayed what is going on

 

[RedheadDane]

Please take over the live commentary, that way I don't have to

We can tag-team.

Down in Spain, everything seems to be coming together.

Rebecca Koerner has gone solo, and the chase group has completely stalled.

No, that's will just be 2 people writing the same thing, at the same time.

You do it

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like we could very well have a former springboard diver as the new RR champion. Almost a minute now.

 

[Monte Serra]

Kopecky solo in Belgium. 20 seconds gap with 6 km to go.

Who?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A crash in the peloton gave Shari Bossuyt from NXTG Racing a chance to get away and she overtook Duyck. Her teammate Britt Knaven had been closed down just before. Bossuyt was then brought back, and Kopecky counter-attacked and now has a lead of 30 seconds with less than 5 km. left.

 

[RedheadDane]

Who?

Koerner.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Koerner.

You do realise you are supposed to relay what is going on, for those that can't watch, right?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Speaking of riders with unsual backgrounds, former ballet dancer Nathalie Eklund was not able to retain her Swedish RR title yesterday. 44 year old Carin Winell won from a four woman break.

I said that she's in the front! And she has over a minute with less than 20 Ks to go.

Yes, but nobody not watching, had a clue who you meant.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nobody but me, you mean.

Kopecky, Julie Van de Velde and Alana Castrique made up the Belgian podium.

 

[Monte Serra]

Kopecky wins the Belgian road race. Julie Van de Velde second, Alana Castrique third.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes, but nobody not watching, had a clue who you meant.

I already mentioned earlier that she'd attacked.

But it's gone quite tacticly. To quote Siggaard (whom I quite hope to see racing at some point): "The outsiders are looking at the WT riders, and the WT riders are looking at each other, and mostly Emma."
Also, shout-out to Solbjørk Minke Anderson for being the only junior rider in the chase group.

 

[screaming fist]

Germany:
Joshua Huppertz, Nils Politt, Leon Heinschke, Emanuel Buchmann, Michael Schwarzmann, Martin Salmon & Jannik Steimle in the front group.

No idea about time gaps.

 

[RedheadDane]

Roger Adria at the front in Spain. Chase group around 15 seconds behind. 21 Ks to go.
1.20 for Koerner with 12 Ks to go.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Marlen Reusser completed the Suisse double in an impressive manner by beating Chabbey with more than two minutes.

 

[RedheadDane]

Less than a minute for Koerner with less than 10 Ks to go.
Crash by Leth...
Norsgaard and Dideriksen on the hunt.

 

[RedheadDane]

Down to 20ish seconds for Koerner now. with 5ish Ks to go.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Although Koerner is one of the better riders on the domestic scene, the gap to the WT riders should still be quite big, so it won't be a surprise if they catch her.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like Koerner is gonna get caught.

 

[RedheadDane]

She's caught.
Uttrup attacks. Followed quickly by Norsgaard and Dideriksen.

 

[RedheadDane]

Dideriksen
Norsgaard
Uttrup

So, basically Norsgaard and Dideriksen swapped championships.
