World Championship 2024 - Men's U23 Road Race: Uster-Zürich (173.5 km)

[ChasingPotatoes]

It's still not over. 50K solo in the rain can do strange things to rider's legs.

 

[Samamba]

Time for Romeo to go Alfa.

I hope he can actually follow up with some good pro results now next year. he was already very strong in the u23 RR last season but couldn't show it yet at pro level.

 

[Samamba]

And Belgium is down to clown🤡

Not really clowining tho? They have been fully riding for 15kms straight. Just not really possible to come back to the strongest rider in the race, apart from the part on the flat (which is now).

 

[Valv.Piti]

What's happened? Other than them being dropped...


Can't really find much terrible now... not after what happened in the women's junior race...

Nothing, this is just their level, I think it was kinda expected.

They should at least still get a top-10, even if it isn't quite a sure thing.

 

[Netserk]

47 seconds.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The Belgians should have had two/three guys going all out here, but only one is pulling

Yeah, but with all those tters and overall 5 guys in the front group they should have at least 2 guys pulling. The other's can mark attack or attack if they catch Christen

 

[Samu Cuenca]

How about having a U23 race and a UAE23 race next year?

 

[Berniece]

They are dead

Orins just stopped pulling cause he was just dead. Putting Lecerf there is not gonna help either. Segaert could, but he was their best last lap...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Most of them are riding for themself, not for the team...

That would require time travel. Next year would be UAE25.

 

[Netserk]

They are dead

If you know you are dead, you make sure to empty the tank on the flat till you drop.

 

[Didinho]

Comooon Jarno.

 

[Samamba]

They literally did that

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm talking about a race solely for their U23 riders.

 

[Samamba]

Explaining Svrcek last 2 seasons is impossible

 

[Didinho]

Better to have 3 strongest of the group riding together than in the big group.

3 vs 1.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

I don't understand what Belgians did wrong? They pulled and next their best riders attacked on the climb. What else should they have done?

 

[Netserk]

They literally did that

They did not literally do that.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Are we sure Martin Svrcek doesn't trade off with a humanoid robot for the U23 Worlds and only the U23 Worlds?

 

[Didinho]

30”. Now it’s turning. They have to ride together.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Explaining Svrcek last 2 seasons is impossible

He is forced by QS to do a lot of donkey work & rarely races for his own results

 

[Tim Cahill]

Christen would have 2 minutes if he didn't spend half his time looking about nervously.
