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

[Samu Cuenca]

Laurance is the new black!

 

[Red Rick]

u23 didn't refer to IQ right?

 

[tobydawq]

Mother of all Group 2 Syndrome.

 

[skippo12]

Don´t chase the leader. Do a massive pull and leadout the chase group. Finish 4th in the sprint. He is better off doing TTs.

 

[DNP-Old]

Milesi certainly has the IQ of a footballer.

 

[Samamba]

This one was not the best advertising for the u23 category

 

[postmanhat]

Such a shame Rootkin-Gray couldn't a podium for himself and Saint Piran. They're about the only thing vaguely resembling a success story in British continental cycling at the moment.

 

[dziny]

I'm stoked for Svrcek. He was the only guy in G2 who pulled, P3 well deserved.

Maybe not in terms of 'racecraft', but this circuit has provided great entertainment again. Quite similar finish to the women juniors.

Almost getting optimistic that the women elite will be a good race tomorrow.

 

[Sciatic]

I'm stoked for Svrcek. He was the only guy in G2 who pulled, P3 well deserved.

He also did a huge effort to bridge from Group 3 to the Milesi group earlier

 

[Aimar16]

QS is mismanaging Svrček very badly. Hopefully this was the restart he needed.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Word is that UAE wanted to have their own Pozzato WVA.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm stoked for Svrcek. He was the only guy in G2 who pulled, P3 well deserved.

Move-over, Peter! There's a new Slovak in town.

BTW, why are practically all Slovaks named either 'Peter', or 'Martin'?

Yep. It's a shame this is going on in the UK and british road cycling is in such a mess.

 

[Ricco']

Morgado should get rid of the idea of being a GC hopeful and focus in what he can be world class at.. a crazy good puncheur and hilly races rider.

Vel, its an old tradition…

 

[Elos Anjos]

Morgado should get rid of the idea of being a GC hopeful and focus in what he can be world class at.. a crazy good puncheur and hilly races rider.

And why is that?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Move-over, Peter! There's a new Slovak in town.

Are you saying the Movistar rider would have been named Martin Martin Martin if she had been Slovak?

 

[RedheadDane]

Are you saying the Movistar rider would have been named Martin Martin Martin if she had been Slovak?

No...

Maybe 'Martina Martin Martin'. Except I don't think Slovaks do the "double surname" thing.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Trinity are doing reasonably well too, tbf.

 

[Ricco']

And why is that?

Because from what he has shown so far, from his build, and from the TT ability he displayed so far, I think he has more to lose in trying to go that way instead of the path he is right now.

 

[tobydawq]

I don't think they are.

 

[RedheadDane]

I don't think they are.

There does seem to be a lot of them.

 

[tobydawq]

There does seem to be a lot of them.

There's a difference between a lot and practically all.

 

[Mayomaniac]

yeah, that wasn't exactly a tactical masterclass by Milesi, to say the least...
