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

Germany: "okay, we are ruining our international reputation completely, but look, we are working for you without any benefit for us in a cycling race".

 

[Netserk]

Denz is relentless.

 

[BR2]

This seems to be playing out a bit like last year so far. A strong break goes, causing a team without a serious contender to blow themselves and the peloton up by chasing hard.

Since I didn't watch the early phase, was it only the French responsible, or others involved, too?

Just France.

the break is doing a good jog.

On the Mathieu case. Roodhooft his director at Alpecin said: "The parents of the girls weren't there themselves. But if Mathieu says he didn't touch them, I believe him. He was taken into custody at 12, and was back at 4am.".

 

[TMP402]

Who among us could doubt that Nico Denz will win this bike race?

 

[Netserk]

French were the instigators.

 

[Sandisfan]

To lose the sprinters, fast roleurs they will need to try to break up the Peloton every time up the climbs.

 

[RedheadDane]

Denz, Kragh

Are you sure about that? Don't you mean Leknessund? Or are you implying that Søren is a traitor? That the "saddle sore" was just to he'd have an excuse to not ride for Denmark, so he'd be able to pretend he's Leknessund, and thus ride for Norway?

Only had a brief look.

 

[shalgo]

Peloton reformed and sitting up, chase group losing ground to the break. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

 

[Netserk]

Battistella getting an update on Ousley.

Gals?

It's what crazy fangirls does to idols in other sectors so why not

Now who was on point?

[Sciatic]

Group 2 pretty strong combo of riders. That should the peloton from going too slow.

[Netserk]

With Germany no longer pulling the peloton, no one else knows what to do. Gap steadily increases.

Wow MvDP situation getting interesting. One thing to consider: Belgium booked out an entire hotel completely to themselves in Austinmer, one of the suburbs/villages just north of the main town. The Dutch just booked rooms in one of the main hotels in the town centre.

Will be interesting to see if this becomes a factor.

One would expect they have video cams in the hallways so hope that will establish the kids harassing him.

But a big bad cyclist! Assaulting minors! This will probably be the media story here in Australia at least.

 

[Netserk]

Who attacked out of the peloton? By the colours, it could have been a Swede.

 

[sir fly]

That MVdP incident's fishy.
Plenty of illogicalities.
