UCI Road World Championships 21st-29th September 2019 - Yorkshire - Race Thread.

[WKA311]

Insanely hard to make anything of it, but this is what I've come up with for the junior road race:


*: Quinn Simmons (USA)
****: Magnus Sheffield (USA), Marco Brenner (Germany)
***: Sam Watson (UK), Enzo Leijnse (Netherlands), Antonio Tiberi (Italy)
**: Andrea Piccolo (Italy), Andrii Ponomar (Ukraine), Lewis Askey (UK), Hidde van Veenendaal (Netherlands)
*: Gianmarco Garofoli (Italy), Alex Vandenbulcke (Belgium), Frederik Wandahl (Denmark), Axel Laurance (France), Sakarias Løland (Norway)

I would add Vegard Stokke and Hessmann. Maybe even Wilksch.

Does Harlow Moor has any steep parts? The more regular, the better it should be for the sprinters.

Surely MVDP

.

The only one complaining that they fixed that bridge.

----


now imagine MVDP, WVA etc. battling it through the water, ice and mud in that Tignes TdF stage .. completely dominating GC podium with half an hour margin (and the winner would be the one who can use hydrodynamic drafting behind that bulldozer in the water/mud puddles)

Don Johnson vs Philip Michael Thomas & v.v.?

You get points for remembering Philip Michael Thomas' name.

Normally people just say "the black dude who played alongside Don Johnson"

Veeti Vainio to win JR RR

 

[DNP-Old]

Piccolo crashed.

 

[perico]

Vino attacks!!! Been a while since I’ve been able to pull that one out.

 

[DNP-Old]

All the strongest teams are in the break. It's on.

 

[DNP-Old]

Simmons joined the break!

 

[RedheadDane]

A rainbow over the World Championship. Talk about fitting!

The wind already blew it away...

Couldn't find a specific regulation regarding the team radios for the Elite RR. Are they allowed or not?

No.

 

[King Boonen]

There's some firepower in that GB team.

 

[DNP-Old]

That's one hell of a break. USA and Netherlands have to start working sooner than later.

 

[Bushman]

Hessmann looks strong as an ox. Why didnt he ride the tt?

He did.

 

[sir fly]

He did.

Why he didn't win?

 

[DNP-Old]

Why he didn't win?

Because he's not as good as the likes of Brenner, Simmons and Tiberi.

 

[King Boonen]

Slippy roads and proper Yorkshire weather.

 

[King Boonen]

USA taking it up in the chase now. Think timing must be wrong unless they really have cut 35 seconds in about 200 metres...

 

[DNP-Old]

USA's already lost Lamperti and Riccitello has been enjoying last wheel all race as well.
