Summer Games Paris 2024

Today will be a lottery. Dygert very disappointing today, while I wonder how Brown lost the ITT at the Giro.

 

[Gigs_98]

Them aero helmets have no chance against Labous' sport glasses.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Kung with his million miles an hour not looking at the road style makes me fear for him today

Van Aert with the dodgy wheels too, going to blow around like a paper doll

Feel like it is Tarling vs Ganna if there is any more weather...

Wout ofc needs a miracle and I guess that is why he is going the unorthodox route. He is a great bike handler (even with the crashes)... so maybe it can help him get a medal.

Remco will struggle in this if any more rain.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vollering's new ugly bike didn't help her that much.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brown just needs to take inspiration from Dan Martins PTSD-ridden sheepish last corner in Lombardia

 

[Penninepeddler]

Henderson did a pretty "meh" final split.

Dygert should get Silver if she does not crash again or is not struggling after the crash.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So Vollering is either Full-ering, oder Gluttony-ring according to the commentators pronunciations in German.

Meanwhile Brown untouchable today, her she can pronounce.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

There's a striking resemblance. Is she related to James in any way?

 

[Squire]

Could be a mini, least worst performance competition between him and Plapp?

Yeah, probably. The sad thing is that I think both of them would have done really well in dry conditions. Both have had this as a target for a long time, and should be very well prepared.

 

[Samamba]

So early starters for men TT are basically doomed? as it seems to stop raining in a bit, but everything is still super wet now

 

[Penninepeddler]

One of the best ever womens ITTs there from Brown.

49 km/h average speed?!?!? With a wet surface... wow.

Ofc van Dijk did some insane ones back in here prime that hit 50km/h over ~30+ km...

but sure conditions were better for them.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, the conditions did a number on Dygert...

 

[Gigs_98]

Noooooo Labous

 

[Izzyeviel]

I'm not happy with this podium. I'm delighted. Gutted for Labous though.

 

[iBanesto]

Brown Gold.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Less than one second between Henderson in 2nd and Dygert in 3rd.

Wonder if her silver nose piercing was the difference that stopped her getting silver aha.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Not a course for Evenepoel cornering...

 

[Izzyeviel]

Is it my TV or is Grace Brown really Grace Grey?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Fastest in the third section by >30 seconds. Wow

 

[Mayomaniac]

Brown is the palest Aussie I've seen in a long time.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Not a course for Evenepoel cornering...

Tarling
Ganna
van Aert

would be my bet right now for podium... albeit if conditions improve in next few hours before Remco sets off he jumps van Aert on list. And Wout's mental wheel set-up could destroy everything... or make it.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Great winner, good results except for Labous missing out which is a shame.

Forecast looks like its gonna continue raining a bit but might slowly stop in 1-3 hours, so maybe the later starters of the mens race get lucky.

 

[Gigs_98]

So now that the womens race is over I can finally say, this race absolutely cries for a Stefan Küng fourth place.

 

[KZD]

Great career prize for Grace Brown. She smashed it today!

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, I hope it's just because Dygert was knackered she had to be off her bike. Not because she got hurt in that crash...
