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

[King Boonen]

About 30 seconds for the two leaders with 10km to go. Doesn't look like the peloton want to take it up properly.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

No.

Yes.

Maybe

I took a look at Catalina's instagram page and I hope she wins.

no chance mate

 

[glassmoon]

where tf was your yellow flag dear traffic lady???

 

[wheresmybrakes]

4k to go still time for another 4 crashes.

 

[GuntherL]

If this would have been a wet race, nobody would have reached the finish line.

You're not to be critical of their skills - or lack thereof.

I'm not. They're all excellent bike handlers. Obviously.

Did you see the crash in the last kilometer? Poetry in motion.

 

[glassmoon]

Garaeva should've pushed till the line, she'd have silver medal...

Not creepy at all.

 

[GuntherL]

Not creepy at all.

That's right. It's her content and it's freely available. You could argue that she shouldn't put that kind of pictures on the internet, but that's up to her.

 

[tobydawq]

Not creepy at all.

Hmm, why do you think young women post these kinds of photos?

 

[Brullnux]

Because they want to and can? It's not very suggestive and she's only 18, I don't think her intention was to be ogled online on a cycling forum

 

[RedheadDane]

Think they need to stop this race and restart about 200yds from the finish, getting embarrassing the amount of crashes. Can you imagine this lot in Paris Roubaix, tu tut.

Admitted, I didn't watch the race, but... how would that teach them bikehandling skills? I may come across as a bit cruel here, but... sometimes the only way to learn is by failing (or falling). You can't compare juniors to seasoned pros.

I'm guessing you are not the parent of teenagers?

 

[King Boonen]

You can be critical, you just can't spout nonsense and expect it not to be challenged. None of your posts have been deleted and you haven't been warned or banned.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I completely did not expect Julie De Wilde to finish that strong, though i did not see the race. This is actually very encouraging for the future of Belgian women's cycling.

 

[F_Cance]

She definitely had the strongest sprint.

 

[Brullnux]

I'm guessing you are not the parent of teenagers?

Much closer to being a teenager than being a parent of one, it's true

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What's the point of these long neutral starts?

 

[DNP-Old]

Very hard to predict due to the weather, a shorten of the race and the U23s doing less climbing than the juniors, but this is what I've come up with, of course looking at all scenarios.

*: Jasper Philipsen
****: Sergio Higuita, Jonas Rutsch
***: Tom Pidcock, Kaden Groves, Stefan Bissegger,
**: Pascal Eenkhoorn, Alexander Konychev, Alberto Dainese, Szymon Saynok
*: Kevin Vermaerke, Georg Zimmermann, Kevin Geniets, Matt Walls, Andreas Stokbro

Once again ES have changed their schedule at the last minute and coverage of the U23's has gone back to 3.55pm Brit time and may change again. BBC has gone with Doha athletics. Dam after yesterdays brutal junior race I had been seriously looking forward to today
