Re: Re:

They just interrupted the time trial with boxing! Booooooooo

Can you believe there's a 45-49 kg category for men's boxing?

Not enough upper body work.

Unless they're super-short for some reason, these guys should be wondering how they got to this point. 45 kg for a fully grown man?

They are super short and their "reason" is they're usually Japanese/Thai/Filipino/etc.

Mother of god, what is wrong with Martin

Re: Re:

Stop it. They are insanely short and cut a lot of weight. They probably fight around 60 Kg. Dehydration

Does 49 kg strike you as a healthy weight for supposedly fit men measuring 167 cm or 164 cm (two examples I plucked at random from the Wikipedia page)?

Anyway, let's stay on topic. We can continue the other discusson in the Boxing thread.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Rohan Dennis is really laying down the pace!

Re:

Tony losing 16s already. He needs a new team, new goals... The Sagan partnership will make wonders.
Kiryenka also losing 30s to Canc. da fook
Dumoulin also losing 14s to fabian.
Froome also losing 20s!!!

Can it be? CAN IT BE???????

GO SPARTACUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sagan + Bodnar + Tony could be enough for few wins.

Re:

Please let i rain and get wet again, this is unfair.

Yeah Konig would probably win

Dennis is a beast and Martin is over the hill!

 

[laurensde+]

Sheesh. Poor Taylor.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Dumoulin looking good at this point

 

[Cance > TheRest]

29.03 for Dumoulin. +16 seconds

 

[capuldemetal]

kiry sunking also.time for dumoulin?

 

[vedrafjord]

I went for a coffee and came back to find RTE have switched to an analyst talking about Ireland's chances in the sailing.

 

[infeXio]

Froome 25 seconds down on Dennis

 

[Guybrush]

Sheesh. Poor Taylor.

according to cyclingnews (in a typical anglo hype article) he was aiming for a medal

 

[Kwibus]

I'm afraid I'm going to be right about Dennis. He hid the entire year to be good here.

 

[woodburn]

Looking like Dennis, Dumoulin and Froome for medals. Not sure of order yet.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Dennis is definitely going too fast at the start, he'll pay for this later

 

[SKSemtex]

I am not a big fan of Cance but I cheer for him in this case.

OG gold is perfect way how to retire.

CO CANCE GO

Times at 2nd time check:

 

[vedrafjord]

Anyone have that stream link from upthread? I hate RTE.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Castroviejo looking awful.

EDIT: and the time check proves me wrong.

 

[rick james]

Shirley Dennis is favourite now

Dont count out Castroviejo, he is always good at championships

Problematic when he can't climb.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Thomas missing: Roglic at check 3, but started after Thomas

 

[Vroome.exe]

I Just saw dumoulin with a strangely shaped water bottle to be more aerodynamic?
