Ponferrada 2014 World Championships, Sep. 21st-28th

[Cance > TheRest]

Mullen stoneface reaction to Flakemore's time :O

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Flakemore gets it! Wow! What a finish!

 

[Flamin]

Wow, that's crazy

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Flakemore flew home, incredible last section. Did not seem possible but he did it.

 

[greenedge]

Who will take it next year, Jack Haig?
Probably Mullen, hats off to him for a great ride and a bright future ahead.

 

[Hugo87]

God damn, Kung is going to steal bronze from Reis!

 

[greenedge]

The amount of pain on Flakemore's face...

 

[Arredondo]

Lol, Kungt at 10 seconds?

That GPS gets the **** out of me.

 

[Broth3r]

Marco Chagas nailed it. Esta doeu.

 

[Arredondo]

Great reaction and attitude by Mullen.

 

[greenedge]

The great thing about Flakemore is he is not just a Time-Trialist, he has quite a good sprint as well- probably as good as Hepburn's.

Hopefully OGE sign him for next year

Night all.

Night all.

And this year we saw how good he was

 

[kenk09]

Brilliant finish.

It's a shame that Mullen is "not good at longer distances".

 

[grizzlee]

Silver for Mullen. Im still delighted with that, only 20 years of age, huge future.
He only rideing continental with an post, wonder how long that will last. He only said in an interview yesterday that no team had come to speak to him yet.

Oh and congrats to flakemore, very well raced.

 

[LosBrolin]

This was great TT, best i've seen a while. Congrats to Flakemore, super last part and the result of it you can see from his face.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Great race.... Nice win by Flakemore and great performance by Mullen.

Only question left is where did Ryo go after his near prophetic predictions

 

[Bumeington]

We will see today, om not saying he is definately going to win but he is definately in with as good a chance as anyone.

Oh and by the way he also has the 2nd quickest 10 mile time trial in british history, quicker than both wiggins and alex dowsett has done.

I wouldnt write him off too quickly.

Though i have probably jinxed him now by building him up. dead last today now a certainty.

Dowsett has a 17:20 which is the fastest

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Dowsett has a 17:20 which is the fastest

By a considerable margin too

 

[happytramp]

By a considerable margin too

Still, Mullen managed to beat him at ToB.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Still, Mullen managed to beat him at ToB.

Dowsett had been fighting in two breaks, got the leaders jersey as a result, tried to defend it and his GC position. Then came the ITT.

Mullen was already 50 minutes down in GC, probably saved himself for the ITT. Still it was a very good effort. The ToB event was raced very hard indeed.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Still, Mullen managed to beat him at ToB.

Sure, which was a good result for the kid. But Dowsett's 10 mile time is very, very good and not a record I expect to see beaten on British roads any time soon.

 

[Gloin22]

The great thing about Flakemore is he is not just a Time-Trialist, he has quite a good sprint as well- probably as good as Hepburn's.

Hopefully OGE sign him for next year

Night all.

come on.. he sucks on everything bar TT's..

No wonder OGE didnt even contact him imo. And anyhow, Durbridge, Howson, Hepburn..they have enough

Somebody better stop the Aussie invasion.

Americans or Kamna will win it

 

[happytramp]

Dowsett had been fighting in two breaks, got the leaders jersey as a result, tried to defend it and his GC position. Then came the ITT.

I knew someone was going to make this (very sensible) point, but still..... I was quietly impressed that he'd managed it.
