World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

[search]

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

he'll probably just keep pulling and start to think about it with 100m to go

 

[Red Rick]

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

Evenepoel's lap was a slight touch faster, thanks to attacking and dropping his G2 buddies but then he proceeded to do the climb slower

 

[nightowl]

Pogacar 1s slower than previous lap lmao

He’s cracking!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Healy needs to drop Skjelmose as he is not beating him on a sprint

Benny Boy is a sprinter on a par with Landa

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

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

His gap is more than half a minute

 

[aphronesis]

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

Only getting worse.

Pretty normal after that distance. At least if you are no Pogacar, who‘s having lap times getting even faster than before. Lol

 

[Orcs]

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've never seen a fanbase so insecure while having their favorite dominate race after race.

 

[AmRacer]

Ride that way

 

[Pippo_San]

La revanche baby 🚀🚀🚀

 

[Salvarani]

Empire strikes back!

 

[Savant12]

Crowds have been amazing throughout this WC.

 

[Red Rick]

Pidcock and Hindley both imploded completely and are now behind G4.

Complete idiots

 

[Brullnux]

Feel bad for the people of Rwanda who were promised one elite men's TT and one elite men's road race and ended up with two TTs, just on different bikes

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I've never seen a fanbase so insecure while having their favorite dominate race after race.

No different the entirety of the Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era in tennis and everything from the Messi/Ronaldo era onwards in football. It's a crying shame it's bled into cycling.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Pidders has cracked properly. Wont finish top 10 it seems

 

[scribers]

Pogi dropping Ayuso earlier was just insane looking. Never seen those two authentically race against each other and Ayusos legs came untwined

 

[moljoh]

Remco angry with himself now he didn't stay back with the chase to have a chance to get angry at them

 

[RedheadDane]

Seems it depends on how many - or how few - riders are even left.

It will leave a lasting impression for sure.

? They fought for a medal. If anyone in G4 had had the ability to follow the chase group they would've done. I'd rather race like Pidcock and Hindley today and end up with no result than be totally out of contention. Like Bettiol in 2023.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Carlton Kirby on a rant about how his name is Danish
Carlton means free man in Danish

But Kirby means 'big eejit' in Irish though

 

[houtdffan]

wish Remco didn't have the mechanicals

However, Pog would have dropped Remco on the second to last cobbled climb to solo to the finish

They converted being in G2 and fighting for 2nd position into not even a top 10 spot because they did way too much work.

He is 12 at the passing of the finish line
