[Samamba]

Einhorn won again, from the break this time.

Einhorn won again, from the break this time.

Froome is really inspiring these young guys from his team. You can't put a price on that.

 

[Taxus4a]

Froome leading the pelotón, droping some people, in the first cobble section of the day, the one of the Worlds, so It would be normal if he lose big time today at the end...I hope other riders from the begining from hid team.

 

[Samamba]

Blackmore is in throuble a bit.

The random GOAT Kazach attacked with Lecerf and some others.

EDIT: pretty insane downhill from Blackmore, he jumped towards the front group in no time.

 

[Netserk]

Lecerf more of a help than Froome.

EDIT: And he's gone! Very measured effort.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Now on the attack, lol.

 

[Samamba]

And now Blackmore solo. What a weird move to sit in earlier on Mont Kigali if you're this strong.

 

[ingsve]

Hehe, Blackmore pissed that they attacked him so now he's riding away from them instead.

Hehe, Blackmore pissed that they attacked him so now he's riding away from them instead.

If he's pissed they attacked him, i think he chose the wrong profession.

 

[ingsve]

If he's pissed they attacked him, i think he chose the wrong profession.

Well, not pissed but more like, "they think they can attack me...I'll show those bastards".

 

[Netserk]

Master of the gutter.

 

[ingsve]

They're gonna have a worlds decided by people riding on the flat parts next to the dikes. More than one rider will end up crashing down into the gutter.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Taxus4a]

Master of the gutter.

He was quite riski...but he came from gravel, so he was very confortable at those parts. Good exhibition, with the good work of Froome today.

 

[Lequack]

I missed the racing today, but it seemed like it was exciting at the finish. So Blackmore managed to get 30 seconds on everyone, that's quite powerful!
But I think the circuit and the fans are ready for the World Champs next year, should be great viewing.

And also it's nice Froome has found a worthy Brit to hand down the mantle to.

He IS no so big climber as others, but he is very good in cobble climbs..so he did what he had to do, and the result is so good that is quite stupid to critize, it is just to learn.

 

[11-34]

The plumage is still beautiful on this Norwegian Blue.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I wonder if we'll get any bigger names next year.

 

[SafeBet]

Israel is doing an excellent job with their youngsters in the past couple of years: Strong, Riccitello, Blackmore, Sheehan. Frigo.

 

[rallybanana]

I wonder if we'll get any bigger names next year.

Would any of the big names go to Rwanda for an 8-day race? 4 or 5-day race maybe.

 

[Berniece]

Would any of the big names go to Rwanda for an 8-day race? 4 or 5-day race maybe.

Maybe to check it out for the WC next year.

 

[rallybanana]

Maybe to check it out for the WC next year.

Would there be more chance they would go if it is just for a few days? No need to spend 8 days there to check out a one-day race route.

Sure you can put a price on it.. Trust the management and ownership of Israel Premier know how much it costs for all of Froome's " inspiring ".

 

[Berniece]

Would there be more chance they would go if it is just for a few days? No need to spend 8 days there to check out a one-day race route.

I can imagine that the top competitors for next year (Pogacar, Remco, Vingegaard, Roglic, etc.) might prefer it if it's only a few days. Maybe they'll just check it out during the winter.
