Olympic Road Race (men’s) 2024 (August 3rd)

[meat puppet]

Pollitt goes. Race over

 

[Samamba]

And It was flat in Wollongong when no one could follow him.

Race was made significantly harder than today and again, back then top riders still gave him space at some point which was stupid given he was almost always already the strongest in the race

What is Novak doing. Stick to tennis please

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Benoot who have pulled the whole day?

Benoot is strong enough. Not to stay away, because of his earlier work, butto create some more chaos surely.

 

[Samamba]

I'm a bit surprised top teams didn't try to make this harder earlier cause now it's gonna be very tactical and hard to control.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

The crowds are on Monmarte

 

[Tim Cahill]

That is a frightening group of tters, they need to get that back quick

 

[Unchained]

Uber Alles

 

[Samamba]

Dangerous group

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Politt and Küng in the same group, absolutely perfect for everyone who's joined them.

 

[ciranda]

Fuglsang was the best Danish rider at the previous three Olympics. I'm certain he would have been a stronger pick than Mørkøv this year.

write something not negative i dare you

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Sainbayar just here for the dad lore.

 

[Monte Serra]

Love to see that Jambaljamts Sainbayar made it to the head of the race!

 

[gregrowlerson]

Go Alexey!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

To be fair to politt this is a great move if people work with him

 

[Samamba]

Yeah what now?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Very tough.. And it's not a big help if the country is on the jersey, I am now used to Italy in blue and Holland in orange, but not today!! Hard to pick them out, especially with me falling asleep every couple of minutes!! Watching Canadian broadcast and they have good commercials, if there is such a thing!!
I am taking Bettiol

I'm slow, I need a little time to adjust to the jerseys because some nationalities are a little less obvious than others.

 

[meat puppet]

To be fair to politt this is a great move if people work with him

I was serious, only expressed myself in forumese

 

[Berniece]

Belgium and Netherlands failing a bit unless they expect that it will really explode later

 

[KZD]

Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark need to organise themselves, they missed a big move and they have already 40 seconds.

 

[Orcs]

What is Belgium doing, just chase ffs

 

[Samamba]

No idea why top teams controlled first 150km to then not try to split the race into pieces on the hardest section. No they went with a 50 man peloton to the local uncontrollable lap instead.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Belgium have ***ed it, Stuyven should always have been in this move. Van der Poel and Pedersen are simply stuck in a *** national squad.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Swiss, Canada, GB riders are blocking a bit at the front but there doesn't seem to be any need to, these guys are just looking about.

 

[Netserk]

Too late to hire a few mercenaries? I bet you could earn a nice pay check for 15 minutes of pulling now.
