Miek is something else.

AVV is a certainty for the Velo D'Or.

 

[Volderke]

Kopecky… just go for that wheel sooner and you got it.

AVV = having the guts to pull this off with a broken elbow… She’s so much harder mentally than most men!

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Kopecky took many pulls in the group behind

Did she? Huh.

 

[movingtarget]

Amazing.

 

[jaylew]

I've never seen AVV so shocked to have won a race. Dropped multiple times, pulled groups for Vos. I thought she had no chance.

 

[Salvarani]

that's what you get cecilie for not taking a single turn while being the favorite from this small group

I think that is unfortunately true.

 

[Savant12]

What a victory! Well deserved!

 

[tobydawq]

lmao AVV with the steel chair! Kopecky banging her bars after not taking a single pull, come off it.

Lol, what? She took plenty of pulls.

 

[Salvarani]

Did she? Huh.

Yeah... she, Reusser, Shabby and Fisher-Black worked the most from what I could see.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Yeah... she, Reusser, Shabby and Fisher-Black worked the most from what I could see.

I thought it was mostly the Swiss who brought it back.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Well done the commentator, who asked whether precisely that might happen while the front 8, without AvV, were on screen, about 1 second before she burst past.

 

[Volderke]

lmao AVV with the steel chair! Kopecky banging her bars after not taking a single pull, come off it.

Kopecky pulled hard in that chase group.

 

[tobydawq]

AVV is a certainty for the Velo D'Or.

Sure, when the others just gift her the victories on a silver platter, one's resume will get quite pretty.

Fortunately, you don't see that in the men's racing.

 

[movingtarget]

Wasn't she off the back up Mt Keira ?

 

[Salvarani]

I thought it was mostly the Swiss who brought it back.

You said Kopecky didnt take a single pull. Which is incorrect.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

I would have expected Longo Borghini to jump on AVVs wheel there, seeing how Persico was also in the group. But no. Almost as embarrassing as when Kiesenhofer won the Olympics.

 

[sir fly]

How's called crown Vleuty achieved this season?
Quadruple? Doesn't even near describe the record.

 

[Red Rick]

Beaten by a 59 year old with a broken arm

 

[Samu Cuenca]

U23

1. Fisher-Black
2. Georgi
3. Bauernfeind

 

[Faserr]

The front group was really diasappointing. Lippert doing a lot of work and othes like Ludwig didn't do much. I really don't get it.
AVV really crazy.

 

[Wvv]

What a missed opportunity for Kopecky. Damn. So close. So strong.

Van Vleuten. One of a kind.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

You said Kopecky didnt take a single pull. Which is incorrect.

Not that I saw, but I'll blame the broadcaster for that.

 

[tobydawq]

The front group was really diasappointing. Lippert doing a lot of work and othes like Ludwig didn't do much. I really don't get it.
AVV really crazy.

Cecilie is just not much of a winner. Why she didn't understand that THIS was her chance, I just don't get.

 

[hmpower]

Great result for Niamh Fisher-Black geting under 23 tittle.
