World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

[Netserk]

1'06" is the gap. Remco needs to close 30 seconds in this lap to have a chance

Evenepoel started losing time again when the moto went behind him.

 

[Didinho]

Pogi 15” faster on the cobbles.

 

[YavorD]

So everyone in G2 gets a big, fat F for working too much with Evenepoel

Yeah, and then people question the G2 dynamics.

Says a lot about how exciting the race isn't that the past few pages are >50% Pogacar fanboys.

It's too exciting if you are Irish. I wish Skejlmose would pull up and make it less exciting.

Evenepoel started losing time again when the moto went behind him.

And started to go uphill

Still a smaller and skinnier F than Del Toro got

How about pull away? Would that work too?

 

[Rou]

The commentators are reporting that each of Pog's laps is faster than the previous one.
Insane performance.

Favourite rider about to win his 2nd world championships and this thread seems to be filled with Pogacar fans still searching for reasons to get upset about something. I don't understand it.

I blame Belgium for that.
They literally got Pogacar to the bottom of Kigali without any dangerous riders up front, with 0 tactical moves.

I'll try to change that! 😁

 

[Lorzenz08]

THATS ITT!

Unless he crashes Pogi does it 😍😍🔥🔥

This is false, see @Red Rick's posts. Everyone has been slowing down for like an hour.

I was here until the end of the TT. This tell more about some other "cycling fans".

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I wonder how Healy will try to beat Skjelmose. Hoping that the attrition will kill the dane or going into wheelsucker mode?

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar 1s slower than previous lap lmao

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Even Evenepoel is starting to crack, it seems. One lap separating Pog from another WC.

It's called living for negative attention.

 

[Unchained]

This is the first time I watched a race when the sun comes up as race finishes.. Thanks Rwanda time

Remco was bonking a bit on the climb. He must keep riding in order not go face a counter.

 

[Brullnux]

Why? Remco got dropped fair and square. Whether Pogi will "get away with it" remains to be seen, but he did attack on a climb that clearly suited him much better than Remco, which is not a stupid thing to do.

Sure, he got dropped fair and square, but without Remco's two mechanicals the Belgian team would've kept riding and kept it much closer – Healy and co got it to 30 seconds at one point. Hard to know how much impetus the chase lost without the Belgians (and without Van Wilder) but it looked like a lot.

The fact it was a bad decision is shown, to me, by Pogacar storming the cobbled climb every time he goes up it – as everyone knew would happen. He is obviously the strongest rider in the race, and he is obviously the strongest rider since Merckx, but he got away with a tactical error.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe they should try swapping the distances of the races for the next championships?

 

[nightowl]

Remco just gets killed on the cobbles every lap

 

[Danskebjerge]

No, that was last weekend.

Not really. It's not much to discuss when nothing is happening. If "not writing at this forum" equals with "turning off the TV", then it wouldve said something about other cycling fans.
