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

[sir fly]

A real misfortune for the Dutchies.
But dropping a chain there is Mollema's mistake I'm afraid.

Even worse for Dutch girls.
Olympics all over again.

 

[Berniece]

And now Van Vleuten crashes too in the first 20m...

 

[RedheadDane]

Not a Dutch day...

 

[BR2]

Such a terrible day for the Dutch team.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Dutch have brought their olympic luck with them...

 

[F_Cance]

dutch super cursed here.

 

[search]

don't think AVV will be able to do the road race either

 

[DNP-Old]

Kung on his way to another silver by 2 seconds?

 

[sir fly]

Tire off the wheel is unforgivable (if that's what's about).

 

[F_Cance]

only came off after hitting the curb i think

 

[sir fly]

Cameraman is mean showing Swiss girls sitting on the ground.
Under the impression of Annemiek's accident, I thought for a moment something happened again.

great race by the Italian women, but today the men weren't good enough. Last year it was the other way around

 

[sir fly]

The event's building variability.
...medals distribution and all that.

 

[BR2]

Okay, something went wrong there for the Germans...

 

[RedheadDane]

Kung on his way to another silver by 2 seconds?

No.

And not bad for the Dutch, all things considered.

 

[Berniece]

The Netherlands finish 5th, 13s from podium with only 4 instead of 6 riders... They definitely would've been on the podium without their bad luck

World Championships - Mixed Relay TTT 2022 Time trial results

Stefan Küng is the winner of World Championships - Mixed Relay TTT 2022, before Stefan Bissegger and Elise Chabbey.

The final result…

Samoa was actually quite good, there… They finished in a nice 16th rank. Decent average speed, decent delay to the winners. I cheered for the underdogs of Samoa, and they were not too bad.

The three Samoan girls, once they are here, could now take some TT lessons by Ganna, Affini and Sobrero. In return, the three ladies would show the three Italian boys how a traditional Samoan (cycling) massage has to be done…

What caused AVV's crash?

1. not clicked in the pedal?
2. chain / shifting problem causing her to suddenly lock up or loose torque on the pedal she was pushing?
3. tire problem?

 

[Mayomaniac]

great race by the Italian women, but today the men weren't good enough. Last year it was the other way around

Yeah, on the other hand I'm really happy for Küng and doctor Reusser.

3. tire problem?

On Dutch television she said her front tire just exploded. Something I do not see. I think the front tire exploded due to the crash, rather than causing it.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Danish ladies exploded.

I was basically called a sexist for suggesting the depth was not at all great when I watched the Nationals in Aalborg this year..

[Lequack]

What is it with Mollema and birds?

 

[Raggamuffin]

Totally understandable.. he’s a handsome chap.. the birds throw themselves at him.

 

[RedheadDane]

I would advice Mollema to keep some distance to Fuglsang on Sunday. As well as the Swifts.
At least he's lucky Stork and Pelikan aren't riding...
