Olympic Road Race (women’s) 2024 (August 4rd)

[awavey]

Fifth for Pfeiffer

 

[Barnacle Bill]

I think Faulkner is still riding off somewhere

 

[Ricco']

Random PCM glitch when the riders cross the line without a celebration

 

[meat puppet]

I'll be goddamned, a superstar was actually tired in 2024

 

[Netserk]

Bike throw decides bronze.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Vas 4th and 4th. Stupid sport.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Did Faulkner not realise she'd won or just too shellshocked to post up and get the big photo

 

[glassmoon]

Shame Blanka got 4th... bummer

 

[awavey]

Does Faulkner know she won??

She does now

 

[ppanther92]

Hungary 2x 4th... Great results, but at the Olympics cruel...

 

[MartinGT]

Always liked Faulkner, she seems very down to earth.

 

[awavey]

Shame Blanka got 4th... bummer

Might have made SDworx team meetings interesting if she hadn't

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What an amazing ride from Faulkner!
Dragged Kopecky back to the front two, then dropped them all.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Vas draws a Blanka

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Don't let any of this distract us from mocking the awful Dutch tactics, though.

She hasn't won as much as Jonas Vingegaard yet, so she still doesn't seem to be completely comfortable with lifting her hands from the handlebars.

 

[Netserk]

Better race than yesterday.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Don't let any of this distract us from mocking the awful Dutch tactics, though.

They had them?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Better race than yesterday.

Yup. Wonder how it would have played out without the crash, but I honestly think the strongest won today. Kopecky might have something to say about tahat, that bridge she did obviously took lots out of herm, but Faulkner was a beast today. Looking like Remco just shredding riders off the wheel, grande!

 

[yaco]

Vas got that wrong. She had to kill herself to stay on Faulkner's wheel as this would have guaranteed her a medal.

 

[Dk one]

1: Great for my not so great manager team.
2: I said Faulkner over Jackson in the preview (nvm my other two picks, CUL and Chabbey were not exactly stellar).
3: Random crash helped the Dutch *** up again.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Comical stuff from G2, like having 3 Valverde's

So funny...except, Faulkner won...

 

[meat puppet]

Better race than yesterday.

Easily. This looked like a bike race, not these current radio control non-fatigable BS parades

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Eagerly looking forward to the couch potatoes on this board telling us what the correct tactics should have been and what every rider should have done to maximize their chances of winning.
That seems to be an inevitable post-race ritual here.

Brilliant race, made better by the lack of race radios.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I told you Dygart was going to blow this race up.
