[Lexman]

The commentators probably.

 

[Penninepeddler]

35 riders, 10 crashes. Where's Adam Hansen

His job explicitly excludes criticising TdF, Worlds or Olympics it seems.

That or he only watches the Spring races every year then hibernates.

I don't like riding in the rain, and I'm a Belgian. Although if I start out in dry conditions and it starts raining towards the middle of the race...then I don't mind so much, it's kind of pleasant. Go Remco Go!

Tirreno–Adriatico seems to rain every TT aha.

Though that TT is short, Ganna always does well.

Tarling is a good bike handler for a TT specialist.

I guess Wout should get a boost too.

Don't wanna hype him too much for this ... But Foss is also good in the wet.

Well he is Australian it's like winter for them now

Ryan Mullen. Always good at crashing tbh. Has a varied repertoire crash wise too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

All PCS refreshers will know the mugshot of Jambaljamts Sainbayar, darting out of the gate in 2 minutes time.

 

[meat puppet]

By god the Visma alien helmet is cool/fugly

 

[Potomac]

Did most of the crashes happen between timing points one and two in the women's race.
It seemed that way to me

 

[AmRacer]

They have an alien who needs a fitting helmet.

White lines are notoriously an issue in road slipperiness in wet weather. Whose idea was it to paint gratuitous white lines at the bottom of the start ramp? (No issues there so far as far as I have seen, but...)

 

[Brullnux]

Bettiol actually looks in quite good shape, I wonder what was up at the Tour

 

[Tim Cahill]

Iplayer is terrible to navigate, they're showing interviews, come on BBC ffs show Sainbayar

Mieke Kröger also pointed out in an interview after the race, that there's a crosswalk in most of the corners...

 

[Bavarianrider]

32km, what a time to be alive😓

 

[Netserk]

My assumption was to prep for Saturday.

 

[Sciatic]

Seems like that start ramp could be a little wider?

 

[awavey]

Demi was emotional because she felt like she could podium today but the corners were like ice, she felt the back wheel slip a few times and that got in her head abit so she wasn't attacking the corners feels she probably lost it there. There are apparently alot of painted pedestrian crossings at the corners.

But overall is happy/content with it and with the form looking ahead.

 

[Brullnux]

My assumption was to prep for Saturday.

He looked genuinely quite bad though at points, which I was surprised given the fact he was in the national champion jersey and it started in Italy.

 

[Sciatic]

😆 Of all the times you point out pathetic TT distances, this is the most deserving.

Gee with a shock bronze today?
