[Third Time Lucky]

Gutted for Molengraaf

 

[glassmoon]

Could be the Canadian twins double

 

[RedheadDane]

I bet Ava did not "celebrate too late"!

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Gutted for Molengraaf

Yes, the season's best rider is not winning the Worlds.......Which is why sports that have a season long championship are probably a fairer way to decide champions.

But well done to the young Canadians; they've been up there all season - and hopefully can stay in CX and not give it up.

Today, Thibau can do something Wout nor Mathieu ever accomplished: become world champion in the junior & U23 ranks.

Pidcock did though...boom and albert as well

 

[RedheadDane]

Pieterse consoling Molengraaf...

Yes, so?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nice sprint by Gery to take bronze, and her ponytail is impressive as well.

just interesting that you didn't mention it that's all.

It's always the front wheel over the line first that counts, right? Otherwise I could see a tactic of growing a really long ponytail, and then make it go "Weee" over your head in the sprint.

I swear! I'm not on any of greg's tea.

No, clearly you're on some strong Colombian coffee.

Nothing more than making a point of Mathieu and Wout clearly being inferior talents to Thibau.

 

[jono]

Without the flat, does Molengraaf win that race? Probably, but not definitely.

I'm not complaining, of course. Already a successful worlds for Canada.

I'm always surprised by how many of the women wear long ponytails. I've never worn one myself (despite the threats of my headmaster to make me do so when I was a scruffy-maned teen in the 70s) but I would imagine that swinging back and forth all the time would be really irritating.

And to Pidcock, Boom and Albert?

 

[DNP-Old]

And to Pidcock, Boom and Albert?

Correct.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nys win!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nys win!

Nice win

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice win

That's what I'm saying!

 

[Barkintheeye]

Tough race for Molengraf, not really much more to do. Men U23 not all that exciting but some smart riding by Del Grosso. Hats off to that!

 

[RedheadDane]

Hold on, if two half-Danish sisters ends get a medal each, that kinda counts as one Danish medal, right?

Isabellava Holmgren would definitely be able to give Caroline Bohé some competition in the Danish NC.

 

[glassmoon]

Puck f-ed up a start little bit... no big deal though

 

[glassmoon]

Puck also seems to be the only one jumping the barriers... which helped her to bridge Fem up front and now it looks like those two will have the race of their own

 

[limak_]

Indeed, the barriers could be a decisive point tomorrow if Wout and Mathieu arrive there together on the last lap (look at Puck taking the lead there). There's not much space to take over afterwards. However the finishing "straight" is quite long and uphill but also it's not straight in fact but with slight bends, so could be tricky to move up if starting sprint from 2nd position.
