Richmond 2015 World Championships, Sep 19-27

[Red Rick]

Since the Dutch are working, I'm fully expecting the first Dutch finisher to finish 29th

Germans took over the pace setting.
Lets see their contribution.

It's amazing that I have to watch ES coverage of the WC RR, considering that I live in the US!

I know. The UCI feed is complete rubbish. Unwatchable.

I've been watching the Richmond site feed for 2 hours without issue!

It's on! I tried this feed earlier in the week and it was blocked to US users.

Thanks Carol!

Actually its not even that bad for the germans if the pace isnt extremely low. I doubt that Greipel can win anyway and I think on the finish line Degenkolb also isnt as strong as Kristoff (who is still a better climber than Greipel) so they have to drop him or have to make sure that he at least doesnt have an easy ride.

I'm still glad they rode a high pace the first 2 hours

 

[Irondan]

To be fair, it's still very early here in the US. It's only 8:10 am on the west coast. Not exactly prime time.

Re:

They've been trying to disrupt the high pace so far so my guess is that they want a very slow pace.
Why doesn't Italy send 1 guy to help. And. Belgium?

 

[Escarabajo]

I really hope other team pick up the pace as well. We need to reduce the chances of a sprint.

That I agree with

 

[Flamin]

Why don't they show graphics of rider positions at the finish (and at intermediate checks) this year? Is always a handy tool.

Yes, it looks like they've hampered the pace a bit.
Belgium and Italy nowhere to be seen.
Although Italy seems a little bit closer to the front and more compact.

Cassani said they will do nothing until two laps to go, seems like they stick to the plan.

 

[Vesica]

I've seen more building roof tops than cyclists the last couple of days..

Good to see the Dutch leading the pack, but just driving at a steady pace isn't really helpful.

 

[SeriousSam]

I want to tune in in the last 20 k or so. When is 20k to finish expected to be?

Its better than nothing and attacks so far out wouldnt make sense too.

 

[sir fly]

Belgians are showing themselves on the cobbles.
An exercise with 100 miles to go, I'd say.

don't know why people complain about the quality of the live feed

i watched only youtube and the richmond app all this week and it was top quality.

Re: Re:

............in my opinion UCI should do more to promote womens cycling.....major change should

be parity between mens and womens events ...same course same distance.........then respect

will be earned and equal pay due

........today valverde for the win ................?

Mark L

It's all very nice to try to promote women's cycling by making it the same length but, whilst of course I think women need more equality in cycling, they are simply not as physically capable as the men. There's no ways women would be able to competitively race over 240km

Wow. This is absolute hogwash. While there are areas in which women are less capable than men, endurance isn't one of them. Because they don't race that long doesn't mean they aren't capable of it.

 

[Billie]

What about countries riding for regular teammates?

The Russians will be riding for Kristoff for sure. Smukulis aswel.

The feed is O.K., but the production at the spot is, to be polite, weak.
Or you were ironic?
