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

[Samu Cuenca]

Clever attack from Reusser right when Van Dijk was done.

 

[Salvarani]

Smart attack by Reusser

 

[Sciatic]

Funny, I just noticed that electronic traffic sign warns not to do any wheelsucking: “Don’t Get Towed”

 

[RedheadDane]

Reusser is one of those riders you shouldn't give two metres.

 

[Volderke]

Reusser takes those curves much better than Bertizolo chasing.

 

[tobydawq]

Or it would be if the UCI WC jersey actually represented a rainbow rather than a bastardisation of the Olympic rings.

Lol. It's not like it's called a rainbow jersey in almost every major European language. Rainbow jersey, regnbuetrøje, maillot arcoíris, maillot arc-en-ciel, regenboogtrui. It's only Italian which doesn't seem to use it.

I think the association is there...

 

[limak_]

They will bring back on the hill

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton going too slow

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

It's called the "Rainbow Jersey" not the "Bastardisation of the Olympic Rings" jersey.

a victory of marketing over observation skills

 

[Volderke]

The female version of Cancellara is going well.

 

[RedheadDane]

but only by people who don't know what a rainbow looks like.

So... as toby showed; basically everyone... except Italy.

 

[Salvarani]

Same group strongest on the hill

 

[Salvarani]

Cecile should be favorite in a sprint if this group cooperates

 

[jaylew]

Lippert looks so good today.

 

[Volderke]

I feel they wont cooperate. There are only 3 medals.
But ofcourse longo borghini will pull like a mad(wo)man…

 

[limak_]

Kasia strongest uphill just like last year

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Van Vleuten killing Vos on the climb, tactically they're perfect.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm torn....
For my national pride, I want Uttrup to win.
For my prediction game pride, I want Longo Borghini to win.

 

[Volderke]

Moolman isnt riding full.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm torn....
For my national pride, I want Uttrup to win.
For my prediction game pride, I want Longo Borghini to win.

At best you only have one of those, so you don't have to worry

 

[Salvarani]

They will get caught

 

[RedheadDane]

DAMMIT!
Front group no cooperation.

 

[jaylew]

They will get caught

Yep, no one really wants to give her all. Seems like ELB and LL working the hardest.

 

[movingtarget]

Catch is on.

 

[Salvarani]

Kopecky winning this
