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

[postmanhat]

8th for Kung, behind Craddock, Kangert etc. Seems to have dropped away in the TT's this year. Maybe another one who is missing the BMC bike?

 

[Bushman]

Inspiring to see Roglic actually fighting to hang on to Dennis. He might not have the legs but he hasnt thrown the towel today

 

[Tigerion]

I think they call that using all the road

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

lol, Roglic

 

[GuntherL]

Pretty childish finish by Roglic.

Dennis has no enemies except himself

 

[Alexandre B.]

Roglic lost the sprint to Dennis by a small margin.

Nice, Roglic doing a Supermán better than Supermán

 

[sir fly]

Another dominant victory.
Either you catch the rhythm at this course or don't, it seems.

Congrats.

Did roglic just win gold medal?

 

[Davesta]

Dowsett finished like a train. Oliveira the opposite.

I'm a little gutted for Dowsett - just 6secs away from a podium at a home World Champs

 

[Gigs_98]

He won with 1m21s or something on Dumoulin last year. Probably about the same time he will take on Evenepoel this year.

That's why I wrote dumoulin in top shape

 

[Lequack]

Roglic lost the sprint to Dennis by a small margin.

By 3 minutes by my estimation.
He seemed cooked, like in the last ITT in the Giro.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mini-Dennis seems a bit befuddled by all the fuss.

 

[red_flanders]

Really cute with the kid in the Rainbow jersey.

 

[Gigs_98]

Roglic messing up Dennis finish line celebration

 

[Red Rick]

Fairly sure Dennis took no risks and could've won by more.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lol at Remco's face at the finish!

 

[tobydawq]

Fairly sure Dennis took no risks and could've won by more.

He really seemed to be using all the road also in the last bend.

 

[Bonimenier]

Fairly sure Dennis took no risks and could've won by more.

He was clearly taking some risks in the descents.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ganna: only the third ITT medal in 25 year for Italy

 

[jaylew]

Incredible from Dennis. I think he'd have won on a road bike today.

Super poor display from Roglic there in the end, drafting Dennis, and sprinting against him at the end and messing up Dennis' finish shot.

 

[movingtarget]

Brain fade by Roglic. Great result for Dennis but what a future for the young guy. Victor seems cursed, what can go wrong will go wrong.

 

[Cinemaniak]

Hope Roglic, Dumoulin, Froome, Dennis and Thomas are all in their best shape next year.

 

[luckyboy]

Shame that Campenaerts missed out on a medal due to bad luck like he had at the Giro. Has the Hour Record to fall back on anyway..

Wasn't sure whether Evenepoel would be right up there on this longest TT of his career but there we go.

Only other surprise is how bad Roglič was, but it was always a question how he would do after the Vuelta efforts.

Anyway, on to the fun bit of the Worlds now!
