World Championship 2025: Mens U23 and Junior ITTs and RRs

[Samamba]

Schrettl has looked good again after some good signs at l’Avenir. Do we know where he’s going next year yet??

Astana

Astana

Ooo interesting. They’ve done really well with punchy hill classics guys this year, could be a good spot for him.

Martinez sprinting for pride

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Finn did like every victory salute in existence...

 

[Netserk]

Flecha celebration. Not bad.

 

[kingjr]

Interesting arrow-shooting technique there.

 

[Brullnux]

Finn did like every victory salute in existence...

He's only 18 tbf and he hasn't won many televised races, probably still testing out what works.

Yorkshire win in juniors and u23 . Wonder if we can make it a clean sweep with pidcock.

 

[Red Rick]

He needs to work on his Italo-English. I don't care his dad is English. This perfect accent is utter nonsense. The best English is broken English.

 

[Rob5091]

Not bad for an 18 year old but Huber did well too for 2nd. Chapeau Finn!

 

[Lequack]

Wow Lorenzo's English is very good.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Interesting arrow-shooting technique there.

Yah, he released the bow as well.

 

[Unchained]

Finn has cat lick cream off his face, he will not need to shave with a razor for a couple of years..

 

[Brullnux]

Finn's accent is so strange, I'd expected it to be more English but there are some random German inflections there as well as the Italian

 

[kingjr]

Yah, he released the bow as well.

It's the new mic drop

 

[Lequack]

Wow Lorenzo's English is very good.

Ah, he already has a wiki entry:

Lorenzo Finn - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Personal life​

From Avegno, Liguria, he attended school in Genoa. He is half-British, with a father from Sheffield, England.[5]

So basically this is like another win for the British as well, after winning the Junior race.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yah, he released the bow as well.

Good thing he's a cyclist, not an archer...

So basically this is like another win for the British as well, after winning the Junior race.

You'll have to take that up with the Italians.

 

[Shawnakova]

Win like Finn

 

[yaco]

The way Finn controlled the race reminded me of Del toro in L'Avenir.

He really has command like someone in his family is a native speaker and he grew up with English, he wasn't searching for anything he is 1000% proficient. Guy is outstanding on the bike also.. Threw in a compliment about the Kigali locals.. Classy

Why would an Italian woman marry some guy from Sheffield who eats beans on toast? That can't be right!
Now the new champion will do a few interviews in Italian. Guy is impressive

Widar finished 4th (of the Belgians).

 

[Mayomaniac]

So why did Belgium make the race hard/lead the chase when Widar wasn't fully fit because of illness and had already skipped the TT?

Because Widar asked for it.

So why did Belgium make the race hard/lead the chase when Widar wasn't fully fit because of illness and had already skipped the TT?

tactical ineptness.
Widar said he had cramps pretty early in the race..

In the pre-race interview, Widar said loud and clear that he had a bad night. That fact alone should have been enough for the coach to be prudent with his agressive tactics. But no, they went in, head first like there is no tomorrow.
