Re:

Pretty strong podium for the sub23 ITT:

isa some footage of cardona pedaling today.
very good position on the bike, classy rider.

he is atypical colombian , stronger ruler than climber, even if he is not bad at climbing.

I took a look at the Colombian Elite Road Race Course today. There are some nice little 12% kickers in two shortish back leg climbs, while the two longish first leg climbs are steadier. But there's enough flat in that second leg to rest up before those kickers, while the out leg is pretty much all up and down bar for a few flattish corners. The finish is an utter cluster madness. I don't have much faith in the lazy sons-of-troglodytes that run the federation, but I imagine even they will move up the finish when they take their first live look at it. If they leave it as is it's anyone's game and I just hope no one crashes. I have no idea how you sprint 50m downhill onto a stone bridge coming off a roundabout preceded by 500m at -7%.

As to who'll win this thing, I haven't a clue. It seems like a tough ask for Gaviria. Pantano, just to put the pixels out there.

Gold in the U23 RR goes to Robinson Lopez. Silver is for Chrystian Cardona and Jonathan Cañaveral takes bronze.

Road race has just started without Chaves who is out with a knee injury. Vamos Checho!!!

Canal RCN is going to broadcoast the race.

He didn't crash.

@ DNP-Old

this was on Tweeter before Quick Step confirmed his abandon of the race and that he didn't crash.

Re: Re:

Pantano is the new national time trial champion!

So we will have the first tricolor jersey at the GT's!!!

 

[jaylew]

So, 8 guys in front, with what looks like 4 WT guys. Pantano, Atapuma, Dayer Quintana, and one of the Henaos, is that right?

Pantano, Checho Henao, Atapuma, Torres, Dayer Quintana, Diego Ochoa and Quiroz.

 

[DNP-Old]

Checho goes!

 

[DNP-Old]

23 seconds.

 

[jaylew]

He looks strong. I think he can hold this.

 

[Valv.Piti]

How's Gaviria doing? What a waste to go to Colombia instead of showing up for the Belgian opener.
And hoping Henao holds on!

 

[jaylew]

Gaviria is out.

Looks like Sergio crashed at some point.

Gaviria abandoned pretty early in the race.


Henao is the strongest so he should indeed hold on pretty easily, a very nice win and I think the most fun guy to see in the jersey!

What a joke. Ffs Nando. :lol:

Oh well, will win at least 1 stage in P-N or whatever he chooses to ride.

 

[DNP-Old]

45 seconds!!

 

[jaylew]

Sergio! That was some display.

Pantano 2nd, Quiroz passed Atapuma at the end for 3rd.

 

[gmedina]

good race today!! Henao fell, had a puncture, and still won! Well deserved, specially after the fall in Rio!
