National championships June 2021

[Bolder]

Some worthy winners today it seems. I only watched the French race but Cavagna walloped a strong field with good tactics. Would love to see a replay of the Belgium RR

By the way, did Valverde not ride in Spain?

Cavagna is awesome. Those conditions were epic as well (heavy rain) in a six hour race.

 

[Red Rick]

What happened to the Bag in Italy?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Less than 5 k left in Give, Denmark

Will Mads Würtz take it? He's in a small group out in front now.

 

[Big Doopie]

This is the main reason why everyone saying Evenepoel would almost certainly have won Lombardia 2020 was a bit quick in that judgment imo. I could see Evenepoel being the strongest that day but if you can stay in his wheel you win. And I have a feeling that Pologne 2020 was the last wake-up call the peloton needed about now reacting to Evenepoel's attacks.

Um… completely different terrain. Lombardy was much closer to Poland stage. Who won Lombardy. The guy remco totally dominated in Poland. The idea that remco would have dragged fulsgang to the line is ludicrous. Then again, so is debating this since descending is part of racing.

What happened to the Bag in Italy?

9th place

 

[Danskebjerge]

With 3,5 k left, Honoré makes an attempt to bridge the gap, but fails. Or?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Mohorič and Polanc in a breakaway and Pogačar, Tratnik and Koren chasing. Doesn't look like the chasing group is giving 100%. Lap and a half to go (out of 10 laps). In lap 8 Pogačar triggered a decisive attack to not let Novak in and left Mohorič and Koren behind. Koren and Mohorič after catch them.

Looks like it will be in between Mohorič and Polanc.

P.S. Now Mohorič and Polanc are in a breakaway and the rest where caught by the peloton.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Wandahl, Norsgaard, Würtz ahead of Valgren and then Honoré.

 

[Danskebjerge]

1,5 k left in Denmark

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Will a Wandahl lose a sprint for gold two days in a row?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Würtz, Norsgaard, Wandahl in front, few hundred meters

 

[Danskebjerge]

Mads Würtz takes it!

Who are the ones behind Masnada? If Colbrelli won on the Imola course, he must have a crazy climbing level right now?

His level uphill was very good but he attacked on the flat part before the final hills. Masnada did the same. Nobody followed them, Trek had both Ciccone and Nibali but didn't do anything.

Masnada and Colbrelli caught the break and when the gap was over 40" the chasers sat up. All the riders in the break were then dropped by Masnada and Colbrelli. Zoccarato was the last one to drop and managed to finish third. Super ride by him.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Würtz wins in Denmark, underlining he should have been selected for the Tour.

Wandal 2nd

Norsgaard 3rd

Interestingly, all 3 riders with zero teammates at the race.

Valgren and Honore made it back to the front 3 with 200 metres to go, but were out of position and gassed.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Who are the ones behind Masnada? If Colbrelli won on the Imola course, he must have a crazy climbing level right now?

In the group behind you had Formolo, Nibali, Ciccone, Cattaneo, Moscon, Pozzovivo and Carboni. Colbrelli and Masnada managed to follow their attacks on the penultimate lap on the big climb and then got a gap, caught the breakaway and won. Masnada wasn't able to drop Colbrelli on the climbs, Zoccarato managed to hang on for 3rd from the early breakaway, he had less the 15 to close, but Masnada kept working with Colbrelli and the gap increased...

 

[RedheadDane]

Würtz wins in Denmark, after leading the front trio for a long time.
Unfortunately we won't be seeing Dannebrog in the Tour...

 

[Danskebjerge]

Sadly, we will not see the Danish champion's jersey in the Tour - in fact, probably not in many of the big coming races.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Will a Wandahl lose a sprint for gold two days in a row?

The answer was yes, but we can't have a Danish champion who lives in Sweden anyway

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Exit interview Würtz:

"I had a long talk with Nicky Soerensen last night, and he said this was my year.
I get to wear the most beautiful jersey in the world, except for the one Alaphilippe is wearing.
Today was about who could suffer the most.
I fear going on the podium now, I may break down in tears".

 

[Rollthedice]

What happened to the Bag in Italy?

Sonny took it home.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Last lap in Slovenia. Mohorič and Polanc in a breakaway at around 1 minute 20 seconds. Peloton more aggressive now. I guess Mezgec want's a taste.
