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

[Dk one]

18 year old Bevort doing pretty ok against the 20somethings.

 

[Sandisfan]

Just got back from picking up Nephew from work he wanted to go to Taco Bell an American Mexican/Americanized fast food place so was gone for 25 minutes. Just saw Leo beat Bevort by around 15 seconds. New Leader.

 

[Sandisfan]

Nice to see some regulars here when I can watch.

I didn't remember but they have the podium on the hot seat but would hate to be the guy with a sot so great time in 3rd and have to sit there till a top rider finishes.

 

[sir fly]

Leo would top 10 in yesterday's race with the speed he averaged.
Wouldn't match Ethan, though.

Would have liked to have seen Sheffield's time without the crash.

Cool for the guy from Bermuda.

Do you think it would've been as spectacular as the crash itself?

 

[DNP-Old]

Raul Garcia and his Vuelta legs awful at the first intermediate as well, good good.

 

[Sandisfan]

I would think going over the barriers it would have probably been a bit longer than the often suggested 30 seconds and getting back over thebarriers I would think minimum 40-45 seconds, finished not far from 1 minute 30 seconds from what I remember. so would jump several above him. Sheffield that is.

 

[search]

Van Dijke dropping a dud thus far, beautiful.

he arrived two weeks in advance, with the aim to win gold, perfectly prepared and equipped (according to himself) - and will finish something like 20th or so in the end

 

[Samamba]

Kind of to be expected Hayter was going to be really good on this parcours.

 

[sir fly]

I would think going over the barriers it would have probably been a longer longer than the often suggested 30 seconds getting back over I would think minimum 40-45 seconds finshed not far from 1 minute 30 seconds from what I remember. so would jump several above him. Sheffield that is.

He'll probably last longer in the media the way he presented himself.
And certainly would've liked not to.

 

[DNP-Old]

Go away, Waerenskjold.

Why do we not like him?

 

[DNP-Old]

Why do we not like him?

I do like him, a lot actually. In fact, I am very disappointed he wasn't selected for the pro race. He surely would've done better than Jan Maas of all people. I just don't like him being here, just as other pro's who are turning up merely for stat padding (Waerenskjold, Raul Garcia e.g.).

 

[yaco]

Yeah, an ITT Worlds in Australia < brother getting married. Understandable prios right there............

Holy

Dennis was best man at his Brother's wedding in Germany on September 17 - He was definitely top 4 on that course.

 

[Samamba]

Oldie Waerenskjold is winning this

 

[Sandisfan]

So when does Leo Hayter enter high school (British equivilant) LOL He's what 7th grade?

He left kindergarten.
...sprinting on the trike.

 

[DNP-Old]

Segaert!

 

[Sandisfan]

Why did we get about 10 or 15 minutes of a good looking girl/lady standing there trying to give a report with no sound what was the director doing did he go take a dump and no one was authorized to go back to the race? Weird!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Who is actually in 3rd right now, Hessman or Bevort? Same time and PCS keeps changing.

Hessmann.

 

[Samamba]

Waerenskjold under 3s at the lap intermediate. Next 10 minutes will decide it and Waerenskjold rode an insane 3rd part so...

EDIT: Segaerts time got corrected, only 3rd now. Losing time. Waerenskjold on his way to the win as expected.

Waerenskjold under 3s at the lap intermediate. Next 10 minutes will decide it and Waerenskjold rode an insane 3rd part so...

Bevort caught up 7 seconds from T3 to Finish, so it is possible to strike back in the end If Saegert is within range.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Also, why the F didnt elite yesterday have intermediate time at 1 lap?
