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

[Big Doopie]

There hasn't been a solo winner who won by over a minute since 1935, that statistic is definitely going.

lemond 1983?

 

[Andre]

you know Wout loves second place

 

[Rollthedice]

Velo d'Or for Remco this year.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

This is a slaughter house.
Just sit back and enjoy.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wout shouldn‘t attack? Why? Evenepoel has 2:20 on them with 20k to go. He‘s not gonna be caught. 100%

What's the point of attacking?

 

[Blanco]

Remco is truly the new Merckx. Long live the king!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Where‘s Lutsenko?

 

[Netserk]

There hasn't been a solo winner who won by over a minute since 1935, that statistic is definitely going.

Bikeraceinfo has Hinault with 1'01''.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

lemond 1983?

Correct, that was 1:11. I blame PCS. Still, this will be a historic margin.

 

[Billie]

this has been the worst race tactically I can remember

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What's the point of attacking?

Silver medal. Typical Van Aert

 

[movingtarget]

Once again the Vuelta form is a good indicator.

 

[Berniece]

Problem is that he doesn't know that. He isn't aware of the situation in the front.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Disgraceful Australian television coverage.

 

[KZD]

Velo d'Or for Remco this year.

With one GT, a monument and the World Championships it will need to be. Hinault was the last man doing this in 1980, if I am not mistaken

 

[Breezy1985]

this has been the worst race tactically I can remember

And the roads are the most boring looking since Doha

 

[Faserr]

this has been the worst race tactically I can remember

Strongest performance + most stupid tactics = this

 

[Gigs_98]

It's shocking how accurate the comparison to his win in Innsbruck actually is. He's the man who was able to ride everyone off his wheel in the junior ranks, went to the pros and just kept doing it. That will never not be incredible to me.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Velo d'Or for Remco this year.

Should be 1. him, 2. Van Vleuten and I frankly don't care about the rest.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hurry up guys.
I need to pee...

 

[Akuryo]

Really getting the triple crown of monument, gt and wc. What a rider.

 

[Andre]

MVDP would be marking Van Aert just about now

 

[movingtarget]

Disgraceful Australian television coverage.

Embarrassing

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Evenepoel was always gonna win this.

Evenepoel, Alaphilippe, Cosnefroy, Armirail, Laporte, Senechal, Sivakov, Pacher, Bardet, Madouas, Stuyven, Van Hooydonck, Serry, Hermans, Dewulf and Lampaert

vs.

Van Aert.

Not fair.

 

[Netserk]

Does France still have a shot for 6th place?
