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

All that's known is some children kept him up to around midnight, repeatedly knocking. He grabbed one of their arms? Police were called, he's been charged with common assault and has to appear in court on the 27th

If you cannot grab an arm of someone that stupid something is wrong!

 

[Big Doopie]

I’m just pissed at the kids parents.

Kids in Australia up to 18 years old?

 

[awavey]

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.

everytime England play the Ashes cricket over there dont the radio talk show hosts not just encourage their listeners but actually engage in it themselves, constantly ringing the England players rooms to disturb them before a game ?

 

[Sandisfan]

I have to give it to the French for at least trying to make the parcours work for their strategy. Some actual racing, maybe not a boring procession till it's too late to get rid of sprinters.

 

[Netserk]

It's not clear from the pictures of the back of the peloton, but it seems to have regrouped.

 

[awavey]

In retrospect of course Van der Poel should have called the police and hotel bring in security and team directors. So Mad that this happened.

clearly also never stayed at a Travelodge

 

[Netserk]

Bardet!

 

[DNP-Old]

Van Aert looks nervous as ***, just like last year.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Well the timing would be right for us West Coast Yanks, however, due to budget restrictions I'm relying on Tiz for the live stream. It's being very choppy to say the least.

Is everyone watching still at about 218km to go?

 

[Netserk]

40-50 riders in the first peloton, I reckon.

 

[DNP-Old]

Except for Cosnefroy, Senechal and Laporte the entire French team is at the front.

 

[Netserk]

Second peloton taking it slow:

 

[DNP-Old]

Correction: Alaphilippe is not at the front.

 

[tobydawq]

I'll just wake up at 8 in the morning, catch the final 20km and won't have missed a thing.

Tell me how that worked out for you.

Should be a livestream on YouTube from the UCI, but it hasn't started yet. There was one yesterday.

[Big Doopie]

Pog?

 

[Netserk]

Serry already active as the only helper for Van Aert in the group.

 

[DNP-Old]

Is the peloton really at nearly 3 minutes? Because that's race over I think.

 

[BR2]

Dude. I randomly woke up in the middle of the night, figured I'd take a look and didn't expect anything yet, and now I'm having a hard time catching up.

From Tissot:

Front peloton:

Horrible list.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mathieu's passport has been revoked and he is due to face court on tuesday???

 

[Izzyeviel]

Who had the Vatican beating MVDP?
