UCI World Championships 2024 - Juniors, RR/ITT

[RedheadDane]

Hopefully nothing involving hip / pelvis / femur.

Elbow and wrist main concern.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Finn wanting to properly give the celebration socks but also trying to look a bit reserved because of the crash? Like when someone scores against their old club.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Barry zipping up the jersey for the sprint, wants to rep the stars and stripes

 

[RedheadDane]

Remijn for bronze?

 

[SafeBet]

Those gaps.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A Finn winning and Senna in third. Formula One is so back!

 

[pastronef]

one of the worst hunger knocks I ever saw for Alvarez

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Ashlin Barry will return next year for gold.

 

[Danskebjerge]

one of the worst hunger knocks I ever saw for Alvarez

But less sudden than that of Van der Poel in similar weather in 2019.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Hakon Eiksund Oksnes 10th, damn. That man dropped hours ago.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Philipsen obviously crashed but Finn is definitely a deserved winner the way he's still going. Beyond impressive. Didn't expect him having this strong of a year and definitely not him becoming a WC.

Last year he was already 2nd on the gc in the Giro di Lunigiana, at the age of 16, ahead of Nordhagen, who is almost 2 years older than him. He was born on the 19th of december, so he's still 17 for almost 3 months.

 

[Samamba]

Whats up with his English? Why is it so good for an Italian?

EDIT: Oh ok his dad his English

Yeah I know about Lunigiani, didn't know he was that young tho.

He has a British father.

 

[ashhutch1997]

What an incredible ride by Finn, the way we dominated the field reminded me of Remco in 2018, insane time gaps.

 

[Lequack]

First Italian who speaks good English? I'm not sure the Italians will like that!

 

[RedheadDane]

Hakon Eiksund Oksnes 10th, damn. That man dropped hours ago.

Scandinavia* all focused on Withen and Ørn-Kristoff, then it's Clemmensen and Oksnes respectively who're best from the two countries.







*Sweden doesn't count in this context.

His father is an Englishmen from Sheffield + he rides for a German team.

We'll like anybody who wins anything at this point. We're that desperate.

 

[Brullnux]

He has a fun accent. Partly Italian with the genoese lilt, some words kind of German, other words kind of English/Yorkshire

 

[postmanhat]

GB 1-2 incoming as far as I'm concerned, bad enough that the Irish steal our guys.

Just listened to his interview and he's obviously from Yorkshire(?). Has he always ridden for Italy or is there a chance we can steal him back?

tranquillo

There's always a way. Perhaps we could deploy the 'Declan Rice' rule as he hasn't made his full international senior debut yet.

Pretty sure riders can still change nationality, even if they have made their full international senior debut.
