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

[Danskebjerge]

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

The Olympics, European Championships, these World Championships - one disappointment after the other. Today even being beaten by Mexico, Ireland etc., despite many strong U23 riders not participating.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Widar now riding hard to drop Segaert, he really wants out of that team...

 

[Didinho]

24”. Widar going strong.

 

[Samamba]

They did not literally do that.

Verstrynghe quite literally did, Orins went off the front just before the finish cause he couldn't hold the power anymore and dropped at first uphill meter. So yeah they did that. You could say Lecerf shouldve worked but thats it

 

[Samamba]

Belgium making it interesting but now someone else is just gonna profit

 

[Netserk]

~25".

 

[glassmoon]

21s

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jarno doing a Remco, head down and don't think about who is on the wheel, half expecting Roglic to pop up out of the hedge to sprint him on the line.

 

[Didinho]

Widar saving the race. 20”.
Christen more working style.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

G2 syndrome should kick in any moment now, they won‘t want to ride with Behrens.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Widar has gone to the Nils Politt School of Tactics.

 

[Samamba]

Looks like Widar won't have to work for Finn next year after all.

Naa seriously, it's a pretty insane performance, but I'm not sure what he's doing is that smart. Only dropped his own teammate and Del Grosso, others are probably laughing.

what like del Toro isn't literally the most talented guy in the world

 

[Mayomaniac]

Blackmore about to drop a Child of Time level solo.

 

[Netserk]

C'mon, Isaac, make UAE proud!

In which of these races Denmark had the out and out favourite? I can only think of yesterday's men junior race.

 

[Didinho]

20”. Widar another big push uphill.

 

[Samamba]

Behrens is just insane honestly

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

What is Widar doing wrong with riding hard? Should he slow down and ride for 2nd? Or still wait for Segaert (who is not far)?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

what like del Toro isn't literally the most talented guy in the world

I'm not sure that is true, but he's definitely a lot more talented than any of the Danish riders in this race.

While it obviously hasn't been the best season ever for Danish cycling, we've also had a lot fortune over the past few years, so I see no reason to complain.

 

[Didinho]

Behrens makes Politt looks small.

 

[Berniece]

Behrens is just insane honestly

Hope Behrens and Widar have to stand on the podium next to each other.

 

[scribers]

Del toro looks really comfortable here

 

[Tim Cahill]

Behrens pretty fast but a lot of racing in his legs, he can be beaten in a flat drag

 

[RedheadDane]

Hope Behrens and Widar have to stand on the podium next to each other.

Would look especially interesting if Behrens is on the top step...
