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

[SafeBet]

Sheffield flying at first check.

Edit: Foss even better.

 

[DNP-Old]

Magnus and Fuss flying early. Something to do with the wind perhaps?

 

[tobydawq]

Denmark using their Olympic kit is great to see. So much prettier than that old Post Danmark rag they usually exhibit.

 

[Red Rick]

Much slower race than I expected. Is it that hilly or that technical?

Anyway, the biggest favorite just started.

 

[yaco]

he only had some "family time" pictures on his Instagram the past days, so not sure he ever planed to start.

But no idea why they would add him as a late entry if he didn't plan to participate anyway. Maybe to get an earlier starting time for Plapp?

He's riding the TTT with Matthews and Plapp, while the women's team has Baker Manly and Brown - I have Australia pegged as 4th in this race.

 

[DNP-Old]

Pippo's visor being taped to his helmet, that's not a good look.

 

[Didinho]

Bissegger started slow? Is that the best tactic?

 

[Didinho]

Vamooos red-helmet-Remco!

 

[DNP-Old]

Make us proud boy.

 

[Didinho]

Only 1 minute between eachother?

 

[Red Rick]

Only 1 minute between eachother?

1'30

 

[StryderHells]

Bissegger started slow? Is that the best tactic?

It worked well for him.

 

[Riek s]

Ganna is flying imo.

 

[RedheadDane]

They gave E. Hayter the wrong sign for the car...

 

[Netserk]

Ugh, I had hoped they wouldn’t do the stupid gps timing head-to-head.

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar terrible.

 

[Sandisfan]

I miss-read the schedule and was getting ready for bed and saw that the Mens' TT is now on, Saw Hayter starting so got here just in time for the favorites to start. Usually go to bed about now but this is great! Biissegger had a nice time but already in the last few there are riders ahead of him at the intermediate.

 

[Didinho]

Pogacar terrible.

1sec faster than Bissegger

 

[Red Rick]

Evenepoel whelming

 

[limak_]

Remco looking slow in the corners

 

[Riek s]

Evenepoel, not sure what to think of it... seemed good on the section uphil, but his cornering seems slow compared to kung/ganna.

Think Ganna will put the other on 5+ seconds here right?

 

[Didinho]

All close at point 1

 

[Berniece]

What a nail-biter. 6 people within 4 seconds...

 

[KZD]

Küng, Remco, Hayer and Ganna virtually tied in the first check

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna taking a free second in that corner after the split.
