World Championships 2023: Junior and U23 Road Races (August 5 and 12)

[Tricycle Rider]

The bell has been rung!

 

[Samamba]

Seisax has been working for Grisel the last 80km but he's the stronger one.

 

[DNP-Old]

In a few days this boy will be world champion mtb too. As a first year. I have never seen anything like it.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Its wraps. Seems like we have a phenomenon on our hands

 

[Tim Cahill]

Two bottles, someone report this to Michael Rasmussen

 

[Salvarani]

Its wraps. Seems like we have a phenomenon on our hands

Great.

 

[Volderke]

Who is the Italian? Simone Gerransi?
He is skipping pulls but always in the right moves.

 

[Red Rick]

It's great that the Danes have a new big talent. They have been starving for one for so long

 

[Tim Cahill]

Has there been some sort of unprecedented increase in funding in Scandinavian athletics in the past 5 years or so

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chasers losing time

 

[Lequack]

So the Belgians, Dutch and Spaniards willing to settle for 10th place or less. They were like 20 seconds back and just needed to work with the French and Slovenians, but no. I wonder if that was the tactic agreed upon on the bus, "just don't do anything, let others win".

 

[DNP-Old]

Want to know who the second best U17 is? Noah Moller. A Dane.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Damn Nordhagen is completely cooked, meanwhile Alberto has taken 50 seconds on 8 km. What the ***.

 

[Volderke]

Philipsen should be DQ'd for his ridiculous sock length.

 

[Red Rick]

Dead men chasing.

 

[JosefK]

The Danes are stomping everything, now!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Dead men chasing.

Sure, but its still absolutely immense. Its a massacre.

 

[King Boonen]

All the world getting to see Nice N' Sleazy's. Yes, it is.

 

[Lequack]

I still don't know why the Danes are riding under the Latvian flag.

 

[DNP-Old]

3 first years on the podium holy ***.

 

[King Boonen]

Chain drop and having to big ring Scott Street. Crowd will have heard some choice Italian words there.

 

[Samamba]

Why is this worlds getting dominated by first year juniors

 

[JosefK]

Philipsen is just 16?

 

[DNP-Old]

Sure, but its still absolutely immense. Its a massacre.

He's only been doing road races for about a year and a half. Didn't want to come out of his XCO bubble initially. Just to make it a bit scarier.

 

[Volderke]

Fun fact:

Fietzke sounds like fietske = little bike in Flemish.
