Richmond 2015 World Championships, Sep 19-27

[Rollthedice]

They will be brought back. The Panzers are on the job.

 

[sir fly]

I'm afraid this won't hold on.

 

[Afrank]

About 18 second gap.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It looks like Mollema doesnt want to win today

Ofcourse not. Terpstra, Boom and Langeveld are the team leaders

 

[DNP-Old]

Richeze is looking very strong, he could be very dangerous if this ends up being a sprint.

 

[b.broadhurst]

If they work this is a strong group!!

Kwiatkowski, Moreno, Stannard, Viviani, Boonen, Mollema and Amador

 

[Pricey_sky]

This is a good break if they work together.

Re: Re:

Some drops of rain starting.

Fingers crossed.

keeping my fingers crossed....that in the last 20km, i'll be able to watch for more than a minute without picture freeze or complete loss of video.

"disgraceful video coverage" would be an understatement.

Same.
I've actually opened up 3 live feed tabs to jump between should one cut out on me.

I've totally given up and am just reading the thread during commercials...like now.

 

[SeriousSam]

Kwiat likes following wheels

 

[Billie]

nice break

What's the role of Dumoulin?

 

[Pantani_lives]

Boonen was the only Belgian who said: "Do nothing until the final lap."

 

[TomLPC]

Damn thats a wicked strong group

 

[bassano]

crazy how viviani managet to get alone to leading group in a ascent

 

[Gigs_98]

Viviani in the group...of course, I mean I never doubted him

Haller, who was involved in the crash just soloed away from the first big group behind the peloton and is back in the main group.

Maybe I see the race through the red-whit-red glasses but without the crash he really could have gotten a top 10 place. He was 5 minutes back after the crash !!!

 

[Afrank]

I'm liking Viviani's shoes.

 

[ILovecycling]

Viviani and Tom wtf

 

[MatParker117]

Double Rainbows for Sky next year?

 

[damian13ster]

Thats a seriously strong group. Afraid they are wasting strength though. Would prefer if it was Paterski in the break rather than Kwiatkowski

Re:

Is that Viviani in the break I see?

Anyone want crow? I have plenty prepared

Meh, Viviani being here means he has zero chance of winning. But I will be prepared for crow if I'm wrong.

 

[Billie]

hats off to Viviani for attacking

 

[Flamin]

Very good wc, even in good weather, who would have thought.

I didn't say he would win, I was making the point this race isn't too hard for him, so for once he may be Italy's best chance.

It is the worst coverage I could imagine. Absolutely disgraceful

I always thought Rohregger and Haller himself exaggerated when they talked about a top10 as goal for Haller, but yeah that was impressive.

Live timing showed him with a maximum gap of about 1:30 to the peloton, but nonetheless impressive, as the race was full on and he dropped around 30 riders when he soloed back.
