Summer Games Paris 2024

[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...

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

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

Yeah, looks a bit greyish. But it's I think the light under the tent, she did look more healthy there for a moment in the sun.

 

[Potomac]

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

Ghoulish

 

[Penninepeddler]

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

Pretty much the reason she is retiring I believe.

Misses the sun. So going back to Aus.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Dygert's body is more effed by now than Pozzovivo's, but hopefully she'll still be fully ready for the track races.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, looks a bit greyish. But it's I think the light under the tent, she did look more healthy there for a moment in the sun.

What sun?

 

[Netserk]

CUL seems quite hurt btw.

 

[yaco]

Dygert collapsed after that crash! Reckong there were more than 10 crashes.

 

[Penninepeddler]

Dygert collapsed after that crash! Reckong there were more than 10 crashes.

Tbf the US contingent accounted for about half of them aha.

And that probably increases in the mens race! Aha.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

What sun?

It's glowing plasmabowl so bright it even illuminates earth under the clouds. Pretty impressive if you ask me, almost as impressive as Brown today, not a huge difference in energy production either!

 

[dazaau]

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!

(I know, it's unbecoming of me but what can I say, we are trained this way )

 

[Penninepeddler]

Classic Danes using the F word on live tv.

Having lived there those guys use it more even than the Brits and Aussies in casual conversation.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Henderson didn't ride in the Visma darth-vader helmet: interesting

 

[Izzyeviel]

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...

Well shes pretty much like that when she wins. The left leg is the one that she nearly lost.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Will those with an eye on track/RR be going less hard on the TT, seeing the falls?

 

[dazaau]

Will those with an eye on track/RR be going less hard on the TT, seeing the falls.

Yeah you could really ruin everything today

 

[Penninepeddler]

Will those with an eye on track/RR be going less hard on the TT, seeing the falls.

Depends on the person I think.

Ofc Ganna, Tarling, Kung, Sheffield, Bisseger etc will go all out whatever. Just more prestigious than track... and I think the dual guys are more focused on the road.

van Aert and Evanepoel... hmmm... probably have similar medal odds in each. But ofc RR is a bit more random. And Remco for sure wont play it safe as he does not know how to...

 

[Red Rick]

Vollering on the verge of crying and she doesn't even seem to know why

 

[Netserk]

Vollering on the verge of crying and she doesn't even seem to know why

Did she swallow the gum she was chewing?
