Richmond 2015 World Championships, Sep 19-27

[outnumbered]

The constant picture breakup is really annoying... You'd think they might have fixed it since yesterday.

 

[WheelofGear]

Horrible lacking live pictures.

 

[jaylew]

I really hope there are nicer looking areas of Richmond.

Felix Gall for Austria. Nice win, very close in the end.

Awesome, I've met him once. Not to bad for a triathlete

Immediately thought of this:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=17067

He's also the Austrian junior NC in Individual pursuit, it was the first time that he raced in a velodrome!
He's also the Austrian junior RR NC and was 4th in the EC ITT, the kid is 17 years old (first year as a junior) and very talented.

Some gaps in the peloton

 

[Andy262]

Dutch seem keen to reduce the field already

 

[WheelofGear]

Love how the peloton is splitting with 80k to go.

Early elimination is the best.

 

[jens_attacks]

they are coming back.

the circuit is horribly designed.

 

[WheelofGear]

I'm more disappointed by the lack of rain. I want heavy showers!

 

[Eagle]

Crash involving PFP

 

[Andy262]

Olds didn't look too good after that....

 

[PremierAndrew]

Anyone got a stream?

(Other than the one on UCI's official YT channel - for some reason I can't access that one)

 

[WheelofGear]

That corner was brutal. You just knew that someone would crash.

The official race site has a stream

 

[WheelofGear]

Gotta admit, Richmond is one of the ugliest cities I've seen featured in bike racing. Almost as ugly as the "Virginia is for lovers" slogan.

It's on the BBC website if you're in Britain?

 

[WheelofGear]

Lots of attacks all the time. I love it.

It seems like the women are less conservative than the men in their way of racing.

I guess the industrial suburbs and mostly below James River are not very pleasant, but north of Capitol District seems quite nice. Never been there, mind.

No ridiculously strong teams and domestiques, even more so with the national teams, less riders, a more leveled field than the men's... I think are just some reasons.

 

[Andy262]

Who are the Aussies trying to soften it up for?

 

[Eagle]

Rain has started

 

[l.Harm]

And even with all those attacks it seems impossible to split up the pack.
