The Grand 2022 Wollongong UCI Road World Championships Thread, September 18th-25th

[DNP-Old]

Not a fan of these intermediates. The gap between T1 and T2 is quite big for a relatively short ITT, and by the time someone arrives at T2 their race is almost over already.

Wow Arndt not bad...

There's the finish line for a rough reference.

The wind's becoming a factor.

 

[StryderHells]

How did Malta end up with not one, but two riders?

Funny thing is both of them used to be Australians.

 

[BR2]

Interesting so far...

 

[sir fly]

Armirail just denied my pacing claim.
Lampaert too.
Waiting for Bissegger...

 

[SafeBet]

Wind helps in the first part of the circuit it seems.
But both Hoole and Arndt then lost time in the second part.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Are you accusing me of time travelling?
Or are you saying Van Dijk gave me 11 points? Would be a weird number of points to get for predicting a win, but then again; it's Samu running the game...

You only get 3 points. I have considered giving Norsgaard more points for successfully predicting that she and Leth would finish 14th and 15th.

Looking at some of these turns, Pippo, with his incredible cornering, is going to fly past these barriers. Just by looking at the course, it seems tailor made for a triple rainbow.

 

[Netserk]

The roads are like Richmond, just in far better surroundings.

 

[BR2]

Almeida not starting?

 

[tobydawq]

Bissegger with a new, TT-themed interpretation of the Pogi hair.

 

[SafeBet]

Almeida not starting?

Almeida won't start due to sickness.

 

[sir fly]

The winning speed could be closer to 50 than 55.

 

[BR2]

yeah, show me the sea excessively so I get even more envious...

 

[sir fly]

'Ајде Шумадинац!

This course does look a Ganna place - BEX got a last minute invite for Durbridge hoping to gain some UCI points, although at the same time they lost Craddock to that stupid visa issue.

The live timing shows Durbridge has not started. Is that correct?

Durbo doesn't show up in the intermediate times so I suppose he hasn't started.

Yes

 

[Riek s]

Surpised that between T2 and T3 Bissinger took 15? seconds on Lampaert?

Seems that on the last part a lot of time can be taken.

No Durbridge - Unusual that you decline the opportunity to ride in your home world's.

Only a Remco in Vuelta shape can beat him here or Küng on a super day can beat him here.

looks like Powless will win the battle of those having arrived on Friday. Or are there any more contenders apart from him and Lazkano?

he only had some "family time" pictures on his Instagram the past days, so not sure he ever planed to start.

But no idea why they would add him as a late entry if he didn't plan to participate anyway. Maybe to get an earlier starting time for Plapp?
