Pajur doing so well does not bode well for the road race. For the rest of the peloton that is. If we'd go to the line with a group they're cooked. He has won all but one sprint he's contested this season and it would appear his form is great.

Ah, he didn't have to switch bikes during the actual race. His own bike was denied per UCI regulations and thus had to ride on a Ridley from the national association.Verbrugghe riding on what apparently is not his own bike (or had to switch bikes during the race), that should give this godawful split some context. Tarling just way too good, as expected.
His bike had a 53 instead of a 52, and was declined due to that... Must be very dissapointingVerbrugghe riding on what apparently is not his own bike (or had to switch bikes during the race), that should give this godawful split some context. Tarling just way too good, as expected.
A dismissal oversight.His bike had a 53 instead of a 52, and was declined due to that... Must be very dissapointing
Tarling can win this with one leg and will already be close to winning the u23 one next year.
yeah, getting caught cheating is always a bit disappointing.His bike had a 53 instead of a 52, and was declined due to that... Must be very dissapointing
Along the way would've been easier to smuggle a cog.yeah, getting caught cheating is always a bit disappointing.
Such an amateur. Well deserved to get your race ruined if you either don’t know the rules or you are trying to cheat.His bike had a 53 instead of a 52, and was declined due to that... Must be very dissapointing

A bit harsh maybe? These kids are 17-18 years old...Such an amateur. Well deserved to get your race ruined if you either don’t know the rules or you are trying to cheat.
I find it very amateurish as well. Not all blame on the rider as he is indeed a young kid, but all other people in his entourage are looking very foolish. The trip to Australia is a very costly one, and not having the basics right is too stupid for words (or on purpose...?).A bit harsh maybe? These kids are 17-18 years old...
According to the Belgian Cycling Association, the bike went for maintenance after the European Championship, and then they accidentally put a 53 on, instead of a 52. No one noticed after numerous checks until 15min before the start.
Is Romet a common name in Estonia? Romed is a typical name in a certain part of Tyrol because of St. Romed(ius) and for the same reason Romedio is also a name that you'll find in the Val di Non.Pajur doing so well does not bode well for the road race.

they are probably better prepared than some of the big teams. The Belgians for example have never trained together before. All Austrian men just arrived today.I'm cheering on the first five entries.
Flu(ss)keUh, you know it wasn't Kuss who won, right?
Zoe Backstedt has a bigger engine than her sister Elynor - She can achieve better results if she has more racecraft and excellent recovery - The world is her oyster.
Yes, Finlay Tarling recently broke the juvenile 10 mile TT record held by Josh, by 40s.Meanwhile Michael Hutchinson on GCN said that Josh Tarling's younger brother has been beating his times at juvenile level.
Is their a third Hayter?
Next Year the limitation on the gearing is scrapped from the rulebook. That's good in my opinion, some riders have higher leg speed than others. On some courses a higher gear is needed.
There are children out there playing far more dangerous sports than having too big a gear in fairness.Does it just get scrapped? In my opinion that's not a good idea, there's a reason for the gear restriction which is that those bodies are still developing and should be protected.
