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

[MJR]

Remco smash! Amazing.

 

[Bolder]

I don't think so. Mvdp so did not have it today

Nope. Super impressed with Remco this year. He's almost equaled his 2022 season, which was remarkable.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

MVDP should have raced the MTB. Probably would have medalled if he stays upright.

He wasn't even good enough to qualify for XC

 

[houtdffan]

first Olympic sweep

 

[kingjr]

I think that, with Pogacar there, the group that Van der Poel pulled clear on the first Montmartre possibly stays away and Evenepoel doesn't even enter the discussion. If not, the race still goes exactly the same way unless Pogacar is immediately on the wheel for the first acceleration.

Pedersen's mechanical doomed that group. If he's in there to start with, there's a good chance it stays away.

What an awesome race by Haller. Was shouting in front of the screen

 

[Didinho]

Wout held every group like he was in G2. And ended up in G8.

 

[MJR]

French silver and bronze, love it.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Belgium have ***ed it, Stuyven should always have been in this move

Average devils elbow midrace analyses

 

[awavey]

In case anyone was wondering how much a medal at he Olympics means and how prestigious the race is, watch the riders celebrating secondary places.

That's French riders celebrating winning a medal in their home games, it's nothing to do with the race

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ok, but next time they won't let him go so easily.

 

[Didinho]

And the Dialed-In celi hahaha love it. What a man.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

France with two medals, great ride from Madouas

He was so happy riding to the finish line knowing he had won the silver, gotta be happy for him!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

That's French riders celebrating winning a medal in their home games, it's nothing to do with the race

Valter celebrated coming 5th?

 

[glassmoon]

Not picking Urska Zigart cost Slovenia a gold medal in this

Bringing Pog into every thread by his fans is sooo pathetic and lame... jeeez guys, we all know he is quite good but come on.

Remco would have won on tratniks bike

 

[Rob5091]

Remco did the biz- despite one heart stopping moment near the end. MvdP did n't follow and got done over.
Big chapeau to Madouas - 2nd again, but not much more he could have done.

 

[DenisMenchov]

What a race! Amazing win by Evenpoel once again. Belgium was just level above France who was another level above everyone else.

 

[glassmoon]

What an awesome race by Haller. Was shouting in front of the screen

yep, great result for him

 

[stetre76]

What an awesome race by Haller. Was shouting in front of the screen

Fantastic performance - chapeau!

If you would've told me before the race that Marco gets a top 10 finish, I would have laughed

Belgium and France at the top of cycling. All is well in the world

That post was not intended to sound like that group was going to stay away (although I understand it could be interpreted like that). Stuyven should still have been in that move, not like he did much after that anyway. So if that's average by my standards, that's fine by me.

Means even more for the French riders with the race being in France.

 

[red_flanders]

What a legend.

Great result for France as well. Loved it.

 

[ppanther92]

Its the secondary riders getting them

Then watch Remco celebrating (and getting nervous about) Gold
