World Championship 2025: Mens U23 and Junior ITTs and RRs

[Monsi]

Still a tough last few kilometers. Blanc might just catch Hudson.

 

[Tim Cahill]

We completely cursed him, deserved win for Hudson if he makes it though, very close I think, about 10s.

 

[Berniece]

Hudson's got it in the bag, Blanc seems to be collapsing

 

[tobydawq]

Hudson again faster than the chaser on the Kimihurura.

 

[SafeBet]

Jackowiak coming fast now!

 

[Monsi]

Yeah Hudson's got this.

 

[Berniece]

Hudson with more than a 20s lead on the top. Time tracker is completely off.

 

[Netserk]

Jackowiak coming fast now!

Rampaging!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Noval's been ruined by INEOS even before he's joined them.

 

[Monsi]

Chapeau to Hudson!

 

[Brullnux]

Hudson is a complete natural on the cobbles, Blanc meanwhile made the look like they were impassable objects

 

[SafeBet]

What a ride by Hudson.

 

[tobydawq]

We need a Benjamin Noval is a Spanish Dan Martin thread.

One thing is sure, he's definitely not the new Benjamín Noval!

PCS algorithm is including Rodrigo Contreras in the race stats for the U23s

Which competitors have done the most career race kilometres?

#	Rider
1	CONTRERAS Rodrigo	46584
2	POMORSKI Michał	29001
3	DONZÉ Robin	24790
4	MATTIO Pietro

Good luck in the race Rodrigo, he's 19 I swear, he just did his paper round in Chernobyl.

These circuits are far more suited to the UK cohort of men, compared to the women.

For the women's junior race they had added Estela Domínguez to the start list for some reason. While they both wouldn't be eligible, Contreras is at least still alive.

Noval's been ruined by INEOS even before he's joined them.

Noval is very strong, but he doesn't know how to race in many ways. He has a lot to learn.
That doesn't surprise ; this isn't the first race where, despite being the strongest, he doesn't know how to manage it and makes mistakes.

He's young; he'll learn.

It seemed to me that he did this race very well apart from his crash.

That's obviously a mistake but also a bit easy to scold him for... Did we ever see the crash, by the way?

I'm not scolding him, I'm just saying it's common for him. It's not the INEOS effect

But he's young and he'll learn.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Feel for Tim Rex a bit, someone has decided that he has really good 'keep break in check' skills and he's tall/good draft so inevitably he's going to get stuck on the front for the next 10 years. Anyway, maybe he enjoys it.

 

[Samamba]

I'm not sure if Belgium can make this hard enough for Widar.

 

[Berniece]

With how Belgium is taking charge of the race, all the hype in Belgian media, and Widar himself doing a whole U23 season for this, it's going to be awkward if Widar doesn't win it.

T Rex doesn't sound like a rider with long arms who can easily catch things back...

 

[Potomac]

It looks like almost two dozen DNFs already

 

[Didinho]

Italy wants to drop T-Rex but he’s still hanging on.
