Women’s RR - World Championships 2024 (September 28)

[Samu Cuenca]

Are there to be restrictions (other than the age one) on who can compete next year in the women's U23? Are those on WWTs to be excluded?

I don't think it's been clarified which rules will be in place for the WE U23 races yet.

Can Tiffany Keep up the pace in the chase?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Teniel Campbell has pretty impressive height, keeps coming to the front and looking around intimidatingly. Behrensesque.

 

[awavey]

Ah it's the random wildlife portion of the race

 

[RedheadDane]

Kopecky goes.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Looks like it's going to be another very wet, cold day

I just tuned in, the roads are wet and it's raining. Eeek, hopefully no crashes.

I'm not too familiar with the lady riders, but the scenery looks nice and I'm sure it's much nicer to ride when it's not raining.

A brief Lake Zurich expo just a bit ago

 

[RedheadDane]

Not sure those motos were supposed to do that...

Come to Switzerland see the Rhino's

 

[Danskebjerge]

Most rainy WC ever, even beating Harrogate?

 

[Danskebjerge]

It's a weird situation that this race counts for the U23 as well. Someone like Puck Pieterse will have to work, but at the same time think of her own chances. What happens if a young rider crosses the line first? Would she get both world titles?

I think it's fine. They could have done the same in the men's world championships. I hope they abolish the U23 category all together - or reduce it to U21.

Who will lead the descent? Gigante or Zigart?

 

[Mina.S]

Who will lead the descent? Gigante or Zigart?

They are the same person at this rate. They even have matching head tilts.

 

[pastronef]

dear me it's raining A LOT

 

[Wyndbrook]

You are aware that Zurich isn't in Britain,

Oh

 

[Didinho]

PFP almost 2’ behind.

Pieterse between the cars. Needed assistance. (Edit: back now)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Despite the rain good crowds in the more populated parts of the course...

Eeek, some graffiti on a building, I loathe seeing graffiti in such a beautiful area. Such an eyesore.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

@Red Rick Merckx over Bjørgen!

 

[Didinho]

Brutal conditions. The Netherlands making the race hard again.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Dang, riders not being able to hold on to their water bottles because they're wearing soaked gloves, makes the challenges of riding in the rain a bit more real.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Brutal conditions. The Netherlands making the race hard again.

Is it supposed to rain for the men's race tomorrow?

 

[yaco]

We need marty McDonald back on commentary for rider identification.

 

[RedheadDane]

Spare a thought for the signal post people.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Is it supposed to rain for the men's race tomorrow?

Not a single droplet, allegedly.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

OK so watched the first thrilling 90k, but time is up here.
I don't expect it to be as nail-biting for the final 65k..
