Thanks ToS appreciate it.

Not too easy to identify the top favourites for the race today outside of Philipsen. Jonas Rutsch could be a dark horse, he is flying a bit under the radar perhaps. Pidcock should be one of the top favourites if he is in shape after his l’Avenir crash, but that is doubtful. Who else? Bisseger could be a dangerous one too.

The Danish team is quite strong (even without Larsen). There is no clear cut leader but every rider in the team is strong. I have a feeling Andreas Kron will be very strong today.

Attempts for echelons going on.

The U23 guys just have to get the rain.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

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

It's also on BBC red button now if you can access that

Eekhoff down, would be a big blow to the Dutch team.

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

If Dewulf, Wright and Kron bridge this gap you're looking at one hell of a break.

Done, but only 15 seconds over the peloton.

So which USA rider is going to win this race..?

Vermaerke would be the designated guy, but they have massive problems having no one up there and receiving no help.

So who'd be happiest with this break staying away, given it's composition. Denmark?

I'm assuming Dewulf would like his chances against these guys.

None, I think. The break of the day has gone, and the U.S. doesn't have a rider in it.

Americans riding for Australia

Burning a lot of matches here

The Puncture Monster gets Bjerg, too.

The Puncture Monster gets Bjerg, too.

Quick bike change, hopefully will get back on.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pretty much. If the final is hard enough, he'll try to jump away, and even if he doesn't get away, he's probably one of the fastest i imagine.

Gonna be honest here, I’m confident I know more about this than you do, I doubt posts have changed much in the past two or three years. I’m getting lecture about my own age group atm

 

[del1962]

Greenhow coming up a few will try to bridge

Probably, although Fred Wright is really, really quick as well.
