World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

[Oldman]

Trek are wasting him carrying water for plodders like Ciccone, Milan and Pedersen.

Skujins is definitely a hard man. He's managed to finish well in varied and somewhat tortuous WCships, classices and hard GT stages. I'm not sure they can afford to let him on his own agenda based on the dollar$ going to the other 3 you mentioned.

 

[Red Rick]

Skuijns claims he won the 70+ kg championships, by the way. Not sure @Red Rick agrees

'I think I’m the world champ in the 70 kilos plus category' - Skujins takes pride in fifth at Worlds

Toms Skujinš left Kigali with mixed emotions after finishing fifth at the World Championships road race. The Latvian had set his sights on a medal, but on…

I agree, gravity is weaker around the equator, so Evenepoel would definitely have been under.

If gravity is weaker, then how could Remco's saddle drop??

It only dropped inside his own noggin

Even in zero gravity, he would still consist of the same amount of matter, so still the same number of kg.

Perhaps we need to ask Skujins if he was talking about weight or mass.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

If he said 70kg, he was talking about mass. Whether he knew it or not.

do you really pronounce it 'sex ass' ?

I was wrong. It’s say ksas (so with hard K)

No. It's "Say" "chas" (ch of chewing). She is not saying it correctly.

I don't think many people outside Portugal pronounce household names like Ronaldo or Fernandes correctly because it just sounds too weird to ears from other countries. And to expect that a Frenchman with a Portuguese name should have his name pronounced the Portuguese way is expecting too much.

This discussion was already made in a different topic, and it was very clear to everyone the name should be pronounced how they do it in France, even though it comes originally from somewhere else. She said it correctly. You are incorrect about this specific person's name.

So Remco didn't have a problem with his second bike according himself and his mechanic. If I was danish I would appeal for his silver medal (to get bronze). He got helped by the cars, and I respect the moral rule when a guy has a mechanical problem but getting help because your head is tilting and you decide to switch bikes? Blatant cheating.

Was thinking the same.

The moral rule isn't only for mechanical problems. It's also for crashing for example. So there is still a case to be made to help him get back like this. Also his head wasn't tilting necessarily. He could easily still have had issues with his form due to the old bike, his body needs time to adjust again. Not to mention that he still lost more energy than he gained due to that whole ordeal.

Oh, and also don't forget to advocate to remove Mollema from the standings, as well as anyone that was part of that group of course. But for some weird reason I doubt you'll focus on them.

I know Peyroteo seems to have got his heart broken by a Belgian in a past life, but I don't think you can fault anyone for focusing on the guy that finished second.

Skjelmose said in his post race interview that he had no problem with riders getting help to make it back to the peloton and felt he lost a medal fair and square, so I doubt he's going to appeal anything, even after watching the footage. He's probably not too keen on ever being a part of another case that might take 12 months to be concluded anyway.

No. I already said multiple times Boonen and Gilbert are two of my all time favorite riders

Remco screwed Remco. Gave up several minutes to get his bikes changed.

Remco's 3D chess tactics failed. He thought Pogi would wait for him the way he waited after Pogi's crash at the Tour. He didn't expect such a lack of gratitude. Lesson learnt.

 

[RedheadDane]

@Armchair Cyclist, @Cookster15, might be time to unsticky this?

 

[Unchained]

Nighttime disco is unsavory enough but a daytime is just frightening

Back in the day there were a few tabloid newspapers that you get in the front of the grocery store, or back then there were newsstands that had dozens of newspapers and hundreds of magazines.. I remember seeing one of Boonen with glassy eyes, drink in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth.. That's really how good he was, lots of getting trashed but he rode great.

No such thing happened.. Especially with one guy racing, the other guy throwing a temper tantrum because he didn't check seat nose angle in the week off after TT. And as far as someone on the radio saying a rider has a mechanical or has crashed, roll easy..
That was never going to happen because the only communication came from people yelling from side of the road and moto with board showing time gap..
I guess a trailing motorcycle could have seen Remco having issues, immediately gassed it, full throttle came up to Pogacar and tell him to chill while Remco uses the level app on an IPhone and hex key to adjust seat angle.. Sure I guess that would have been best case scenario.
The ideal scenario would be for Pogacar to take time away from training with Del Toro and Tadej ride and check out Remco's spare bike for him and adjust the seat angle for him because Remco didn't have time to check out his spare bike..
Remco saying anything other than he is responsible for checking is bike setup is telling.
