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

[Samamba]

Bevort caught up 7 seconds from T3 to Finish, so it is possible to strike back in the end If Saegert is within range.

All depends on Segaerts being to able to follow his pacing plan.

 

[Samamba]

Logan Currie surprisingly good. Could get a medal here.

 

[Samamba]

Segaert 10 seconds behind at the 2nd intermediate. Waerenskjold is winning this. If Segaert doesn't fade he'll get 2nd, which is pretty impressive for a first years.

Waerenskjold put in a monster 3rd part. Gold again for Norway, this one isn't as surprising as yesterday tho.

 

[sir fly]

Currie obviously suffering from jet lag.

 

[Salvarani]

Norwegians in superform.

 

[Saint Unix]

Just casually sweeping up all the time trial golds.

 

[RedheadDane]

Alright, Norway. I'll make you a deal:
We get the stage races*.
You get the time trials.





*I know that's not World Championships.

 

[Samamba]

Don't think Segaert could follow his pacing plan perfectly. An impressive performance for someone of his age nonetheless. Incredible podium.

 

[Sandisfan]

That was entertaining, Segaert put in a good challenge to the favorite (older )

 

[sir fly]

No surprise today.
...not after yesterday.

Norwegians nailed it.

Alright, Norway. I'll make you a deal:
We get the stage races*.
You get the time trials.





*I know that's not World Championships.

What about Swedes?

 

[RedheadDane]

What about Swedes?

They're irrelevant.

Has Barboza - the Colombian guy - finished yet?
I mean, surely... would have been a terrible time to be overtaken by Holm Jørgensen, who did a terrible time.

According to PCS, Raúl García Pierna won with an average speed of 1672 kph.

Had you made them a deal...

 

[Samamba]

According to PCS, Raúl García Pierna won with an average speed of 1672 kph.

And they say Spanish cycling is struggling...

 

[RedheadDane]

Had you made them a deal...

Why would I make deals with irrelevant people?

 

[SafeBet]

According to PCS, Raúl García Pierna won with an average speed of 1672 kph.

According to PCS Logan Currie is 1.68 mt for 85 kg...

To turn them relevant.

Cycling's, obviously, great for weight loss.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I think TT bronze doesn't sway much.

Road race winner will decide I think. Van Aert may win if he wins the WCRR, and if Pog wins he probably also wins Lombardia anyway.

What about if Foss wins the RR?

 

[SHAD0W93]

Foss wins two races all year, both ITT's and he comes 3rd in your Velod'Or list. Wow.

All I know is Foss is the only World Champ on that list

 

[RedheadDane]

To turn them relevant.

They can stay irrelevant.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I expected a bit more from Milesi. Until today he was the only guy who had actually beaten Segaert in an ITT this season. I expected him to fight for a top 5. Then again, Milesi started cycling late and isn't a great bike handler (crashed out of the Italian NC ITT), so he probably lost a decent amount of time because of his cornering on this route.

 

[sir fly]

They can stay irrelevant.

That's so unvikingish of you.
...or unvikingly... what's the word?

 

[KZD]

Congratulations to Wærenskjold on his title, but let's see if he can do better in the elite rankings than other Norwegian U23 World champions like Bystrøm or Halvorsen.

Huge time by Segaert given his age.

in the interview the other day he said that it should be a good route for him, and he'd be disappointed if it's not a podium at the very minimum.

So same as van Dijke, he finished miles behind his own expectations. Are those youngsters just overconfident, or really this unable to assess their own chances?

So did Adam Holm. He had his worst day on the bike ever. The youngsters could be suffering from jetlag.
