Good early evening everyone.

Good early evening everyone.

Yay for once you're awake and live in a race thread!

 

[Netserk]

11 riders clear, 4 chasing.

12 riders (they only showed the names of 11 though).

Belgium, Netherlands, and Great Britain have been policing at the front. Germany closed down the 4 riders in between, but I don't get why.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Oh well, it became an allnighter instead. Wonder If I can keep this going..

Also, wtf happened to Van der Poel? These kids better be quiet, and I don't care how he said that!

He's apparently been charged with common assault so I guess he did something more than just shout at the kids.

This Worlds seems important to Germany for some reason.
Prominent the whole week.

Thats an interesting kit Luxembourg have. Not very Luxembourgish, but I like it

 

[42x16ss]

Kids or teens?

Teens apparently

 

[Netserk]

The chasing trio is +1'47'' after the front group over the first crossing of the finish line.

 

[sir fly]

Maybe a too big breakaway for Ilić and Schuurhuis to bridge.
On the no man's land at the moment. Need to keep pushing.

 

[noob]

Teens apparently

Gals?

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

 

[DNP-Old]

VAN DER POEL DNF.

 

[Netserk]

Abandon MvdP?!

 

[Sandisfan]

Reporting OH NO! MVDP retires. Idiot Kids should be charged with something appropriate! I am not a big fan of MVDP but love his racing style and have rooted for him at times.

 

[noob]

What a disaster :O

 

[Netserk]

Only Van Vleuten can overcome the Dutch luck.

[Ricco']

At least the DNF was early, it's not so past my usual bed time.

 

[Netserk]

On Mount Keira now:

The peloton will probably crawl at walking speed.

 

[Sandisfan]

I believe most all Aussie fans will be very Mad at those "Kids" for upstaging and important event as Aussies are know for being gracious hosts.

 

[noob]

I had come to watch MvDP in particular. This is a horrible blow

Did he hit the kids? I don't blame him.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Can't believe it. I almost put my entire bank account into Mathieu winning this bike race.

On a more serious note, I had no idea there were Vatican riders in the race D:

Yeah let's go straight to the "people should hit kids" crap. Deal with your own issue somewhere else.

I'd assume he grabbed them, but we'll probably hear more about it the coming days.

 

[Big Doopie]

Crap. My pick already gone totally sucks. After training for two months for this.

well now I am all in for Remco just to piss Brian Smith off.
