World Championship 2025: Mens U23 and Junior ITTs and RRs

[Dazed and Confused]

Fugger in 3rd, +30s

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Gotta say, not a fan of the Spanish outfit.

 

[Red Rick]

Capello faster than Evenepoel in the 2nd sector.

From the wrong thread

 

[SafeBet]

Roberto Capello > Fabio Capello?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Its going to be very tight.

 

[Red Rick]

Come on that's what the audience wanted to see

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Hotline Bling Finish line puke by Drake.

 

[RedheadDane]

Théophille Vassal... that is just such a French name.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Roberto Capello > Fabio Capello?

Not as fast as Rinaldo Capello.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Mouris with beautiful style on the bike...

Dylan Sage told me this morning that he was going to win.

 

[Red Rick]

"Shut up José, I'm talking about mitochondrial DNA".

Pretty funny

 

[theyoungest]

Dutch Eurosport cutting to commercial when there's a Dutchman about to set the best time... gotta love it.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Dylan Sage told me this morning that he was going to win.

He lied.

 

[theyoungest]

He lied.

Sages can be wrong from time to time.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Mouris 8s better. 1st at finish.

 

[SafeBet]

Barry with a strong finish but not enough to overtake Mouris.

 

[theyoungest]

Initially the Dutch federation didn't even want to send any youth categories to these championships... they ended up still sending juniors. Pretty good decision I'd say.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Since when are 40 year olds allowed to ride the junior WCC?

 

[Red Rick]

None of the remaining guys are having fast splits, so it looks like this ITT was funnily enough decided by the non technical downhill section.

 

[Unchained]

No matter what seeing the heart, soul, guts these kids are putting out is inspiring.. Earlier kids with poor fitting clothing, helmets, bikes with rim brakes, no aero anything and riding like the wind, really beautiful top to bottom.. And seeing how fast cycling countries are going is great Belgium and Netherlands really impressive.. US trying hard

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks like a collapse by Sage...

 

[Unchained]

Sage looks toasted

 

[theyoungest]

Visma's foreign recruits getting destroyed by a non-Visma Dutchman... something not quite going to plan there.
