National championships June 2021

[BlueRoads]

France is such a depressing race... with Gaudu, Ala, G Martin and Cosnefroy chasing... and all those no-name riders in front
Well, apart from Cavagna and Barguil.

 

[RedheadDane]

Some more people joining. Another FDJ, some Cofidis, a trek.
Still France, btw.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Why do they do this to me?

I thought you said Schachmann looked to be out of shape.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Denmark:

Gap to the front group has dropped to 50 seconds.
Still Trek doing the chase behind.
Honore has started working in the break.
55K to go.

 

[Rollthedice]

In Italy Formolo attacks the group on Galisterna with 44 to go, Nibali closes easily and there's a group formed up the road.

 

[RedheadDane]

Bora raking up national champions! Konrad won in Austria.

 

[BlueRoads]

I thought you said Schachmann looked to be out of shape.

Yeah, not out of shape but not in best form.
But I was either wrong or it was still enough.
Intermarché did a great race and usually I would have liked them to win... but I really want the best riders to have the national jerseys, the general in best I mean, not just the best of the day.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Konrad won his second Austrian title ahead of Haller and the non-twin Gamper.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Lampaert en De Bondt bridged to the leaders in Belgium.

6-man break: Vansevenant, Molly, Van Der Sande, Van Moer, Lampaert en De Bondt. Gap is 35", 40k to go.

 

[Norbea]

Bystrøm crashed out in a ditch. Not the best of days for UAE in Norway. 40 km to go. Break away down to 5 riders. About 50 in the peloton totally controlled by Uno-X.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Denmark:

Last Trek guy (other than Mads P) just died, only Vinjebo (Qhubeka) pulling.

Mads P attacks, but everyone shuts him down.

Looks like the break may make it.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Denmark:

Fuglsang sending Gregaard to the front, but this "1 guy pulling" is not going to cut it, the front group is gone, if the favorites don't start working together.

Gap currently 50 seconds.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Denmark:

Kragh attacks from the favorites group, but Asgreen and Mads P are instantly on his wheel, Fuglsang and Cort just behind, but Kragh is not really getting away.

 

[RedheadDane]

Søren Kragh attacks from the peloton, but quickly shot down.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Denmark:

In the front group Valgen is increasing pressure, some conti riders dropping from the group.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Søren Kragh attacks from the peloton, but quickly shot down.

Ah ok, you are taking over again.

Go for it - I'm out

 

[BlueRoads]

Søren Kragh attacks from the peloton, but quickly shot down.

What?!

 

[RedheadDane]

Ah ok, you are taking over again.

Go for it - I'm out

Naah, you keep doing it. I'm losing track. of things...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

What?!

Yeah, cycling in Denmark is HARDCORE!

 

[RedheadDane]

Alaphilippe group caught. 22 Ks to go.

Kamp caught up with the favourites, back to helping Mads P.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Naah, you keep doing it. I'm losing track. of things...

Nope, since you clearly want the responsibility, you've got it.

Enjoy

 

[RedheadDane]

You're just lazy. I'm trying to update on two races here.

Well, apart from Cavagna and Barguil.

Peleton have caught the Alaphillipe group. Still only 1'15" gap to the leaders. I suppose it depends how much confidence the likes of AG2R and FDJ have in theie lead group riders as to whether they'll chase?

 

[RedheadDane]

Madouas attacking from the peloton. Joined by a Cofidis...

 

[Red Rick]

In Italy Formolo attacks the group on Galisterna with 44 to go, Nibali closes easily and there's a group formed up the road.
