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

[Bushman]

Brenner took some time back in the last part but is beaten by 5 seconds. Probably could have paced his effort a bit better, looking at his time splits.

Gudnitz saying he thought Leijnse was a motorbike!
And was actually complaining about the lack of rain. He's a cross rider.

 

[DNP-Old]

All season goals of Tiberi have been screwed by mechanicals, oh my.

Is it normal to have people be a minute behind after 6km?

Is it normal to have people be a minute behind after 6km?

This is an age bracket where some guys are physically behind at 17 (some might still be 16 even), and others are maturely developed 18 year olds. So there will be bigger gaps than in the U23 or elites.

 

[Red Rick]

The circuit does not look easy

 

[DNP-Old]

Tiberi is riding a ride of legends.

Tiberi is riding a ride of legends.

So he will probably end 4th like Longo Borghini.

The more I see the course, the more I think Simmons will smoke anyone. But if Tiberi is able to even overtake Leijnse, I'm losing it.

Tiberi going strong despite his off the ramp bike change

Tiberi going strong despite his off the ramp bike change

Ironically, 'ramp' means 'disaster' in Dutch

Tiberi has gained a lot of time, but not sure if I can trust the real time GPS, at the split it was a few seconds out.

They're saying the transponder is on the bike he started on, so it's on the car that's behind him.

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy ***.

Ah that would make sense then.

Amazing comeback from Tiberi!

 

[RedheadDane]

Holy ***! Tiberi!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I have no idea how realistic it is to hope Tiberi takes it, unless he gets beaten by 40 seconds or more.

 

[Bushman]

Crazy stuff from Tiberi.

 

[JosephK]

Tiberi -- inspiration.

 

[perico]

There's more to a season than just a time trial. Alexandre nor Nicolas are even half decent.

They are young. They will learn the ways of the Vino soon.

 

[RedheadDane]

They are young. They will learn the ways of the Vino soon.

Or they might find out that cycling isn't their jam anyway.
Or one of them.

BTW, I think it's quite interesting to see how the various nations are borrowing equipment for the pro teams. For example; Denmark using the Sunweb equipment.

German Gomez 4th at the first intermediate! The kid has only been riding a bike for 1.5 to 2 years, but is already a national champion in basically every form of cycling. From road to mountainbike and so on.

Artistic cycling?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Artistic cycling?

Are you talking about synchronized cycling?

 

[shalgo]

Are you talking about synchronized cycling?

Isn't that effectively what a team time trial is?
