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

No Dennis or WVA. Be interesting to see how Remco recovers from the Vuelta. Probably not a great course for Kung.

I boldly predict that Plapp will set the fastest time at the finish.

In the whole wave or...?

Van Dijk quicker than Maltese falcon at the first intermediate.

When he crosses the line, he will have been the fastest.

Boldly indeed.

 

[Netserk]

Good morning, toby!

 

[Netserk]

I had hoped the camera would have stayed on a specific rider (like Plapp) for longer periods of time, so that you'd get a better impression of the course. But Sydney looks lovely as well.

Brown joins Van Dijk ahead of Bonello on the second intermediate.

 

[tobydawq]

Good morning, toby!

Good morning to you too!

 

[sir fly]

Bolivar Espinoza sure is a kind of revolutionary.

 

[SafeBet]

Prediction: will Plapp / Affini make the top10?

 

[tobydawq]

Boldly indeed.

I was right.

 

[Netserk]

49.5 km/h for Plapp.

 

[sir fly]

Bonello faster than Reusser.
... I guess the mustache isn't for nothing.

 

[SafeBet]

Almeida won't start due to sickness.

 

[sir fly]

Almeida won't start due to sickness.

Pity.
Not an awful course for him.

How did Malta end up with not one, but two riders?

Hmm

I was right.

Not boldly enough.

What took you so long, ruby women?
The girls have finished a long time ago.

Got a bit late to bed last night, so decided to "sleep in" (well, sleep to normal time...)

But nice of Van Dijk to give me some points for the prediction game.

Eleven?

 

[RedheadDane]

Eleven?

Are you accusing me of time travelling?
Or are you saying Van Dijk gave me 11 points? Would be a weird number of points to get for predicting a win, but then again; it's Samu running the game...

Eleven van Napk

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bisseger already 11 seconds behind at the first stop.

 

[sir fly]

Looking at Lampaert and Bissegger and having seen the women's race, it's an all-out from the start course.
Calculations may be irrecoverable.
