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

[noob]

Benoot is

 

[Monte Serra]

Belgian commentators on Sporza getting a bit nervous...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

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

If you are a team of van der pole and van barlle going into this race you are not a *** squad.

 

[Leinster]

Healy and Lutsenko were 5 seconds ahead at 80km to go, Mullen gave it socks for one last pull, and now they’re over a minute and growing.

 

[Didinho]

Mohoric and Van Aert between the cars.

Pedersen also switching.

Benoot is

dropping Wout

 

[slim charles]

Mad Spedersen bike change

Edit: Not sure how I managed to spell his name like this but I like it

Van der Poel and Pedersen are simply stuck in a *** national squad.

Van der Poel sure (but the tactic then should be to try to get away with a smaller group earlier), but Pedersen no? Morkov ok, but why tf did they use Bjerg first? Skjelmose ofc had to waste a lot of energy because of a mechanical, now the same for Pedersen.

 

[nilfen]

Whats up with all those flats?

 

[Danskebjerge]

write something not negative i dare you

Mads Pedersen has a puncture, and it's super cool.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's ok it's ok, not to panic they have Bjerg and Fuglsang to pace him back

 

[noob]

dropping Wout

I love them racing without radios!

 

[Didinho]

Whats up with all those flats?

There’s a hill coming up soon 😁

 

[slim charles]

My Eurosport seems to be like 3 minutes behind, it's quite annoying tbh

 

[Unchained]

What is Belgium doing, just chase ffs

This was always going to be the race and the predicted selection out of original 90 has happened,
Woods is decent, Big German has had a few months of fantastic.. If you are one of the favorites you have to chase.. Lots of favourites w flats or mechanicals!! What the...

Van der Poel sure, but Pedersen no? Morkov ok, but why tf did they use Bjerg first?

Burning Bjerg is definitely on Denmark, but then in addition to that Skjelmose has had to burn a match to get back after his mechanical. Either way, Belgium could have picked 10 riders who are at least as good as Bjerg, even with four riders they have by far the most cards to play and they're simply not playing them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Perfect disaster for VDP/Belgium, all the secondary favourite teams seem to have representation in the front

Well like I said, I think it's absolutely moronic to not try to use the previous hills, as at least when it's uphill you have some sort of control, your legs matter then. It's like they deliberately made it a super tactical race.

I mean it's definitely not over yet, but they got themselves in throuble big time

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Has Stuyven done anything yet?

 

[ciranda]

skujins and hirschi lurking

 

[noob]

Let Fred Wright win at at last lol

 

[Rollthedice]

The Mongolian dude caught the Trans Siberian Express to Montmartre.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The yanks might help a bit, they have some good riders there and nobody up front

 

[Mayomaniac]

The 2 steppe raiders got this😎

 

[Netserk]

Pidcock and Jorgenson look good.
