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

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Evenepoel is a great descender. Not a bad place to catch someone off guard. Tactically, I don't know how good of an idea this attack was, though.

Well, Remco just doing his thing. I was expecting that. And IMO smart enough - going with tight chain will at some point result in stand still in the chasing group, just a few moments of confusion and arguing and the race is decided.

More than 2 minutes now. The Peloton needs to organize right now or this is over.

I think this will end in a Remco solo victory. Which of course woudln't surprise anyone.

With still 48km to go I'm not sure they are organizing themselves at all. Should they?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I don‘t understand why Germany shouldn‘t chase. It raises their chance of getting any good result from 0 to 0.1 %

 

[Aimar16]

Hopefully Remco doesn't win, just to add more WVA vs Remco drama

 

[SarahtheDane]

Skjelmose to win? /s

 

[Gigs_98]

So does this mean that Gigs is sleeping through this Race LOL

More or less. I couldn't watch because I spent all of last night searching for my kids before I found them knocking on random peoples doors.

Brian smith cannot hide his Remco-dislike. It’s almost funny.

Exactly.

Denmark has rode a shitty race IMO. Way too defensive, and they have misread the race completely. And with this team where you have to be super opportunistic.

Edit: Okay, maybe not that bad, but I just don't like have they have approached this race with this kind of team.

Lol, Germany ain't going to close the gap. Pogi not going to try anything, as tratnik the tractor is in the group?

Shall remco have a go on this lap already. Guess someone colbrelli-ing him is the best thing on the menu.

 

[Salvarani]

Serry done

 

[Aimar16]

gap now only 1:20

 

[Salvarani]

Front group going really slow since Serry dropped

Peloton taken 40-50s on the climb

 

[DNP-Old]

Belgium just giving it all away now.

 

[noob]

Peleton catching up

Madouas shaking things up behind, I guess France are not too confident in their options in front

Even if the peloton doesn't catch them I still think Bardet, Tratnik and Schmid have a good chance of beating Remco.

 

[Tommy Gun]

I am afraid Remco made a mistake here, this was the moment to attack: next lap up Mt Pleasant, front group will probably get caught...

 

[Gigs_98]

Gap Cut in half on one single climb. Suddenly completely open again

No *** shite.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Belgium tactics are crazy

 

[Berniece]

Don't understand Belgian tactics at all. Hermans doesn't make tempo, Remco didn't attack, a whole minute taken from their lead...

 

[noob]

Fred Wright

 

[Salvarani]

Just heard the commentator describe the MVDP situation?!

 

[Bonimenier]

How dare Fred Wright make a move?!

 

[meat puppet]

Lol, my post did not age well. Quite bizarre tactics

 

[DNP-Old]

What the hell is Hermans doing?
