World Championships 2023: Men's Road Race (August 6)

[MartinGT]

With 58 countries, the convoy with one car each is already far larger than in a normal race with two cars each. It just isn't workable otherwise.

It's a fair point. But a car doesn't hold 9 spare bikes does it?

Pretty sure not all countries have their own car. Some of them have to share.

Sénéchal sounds like he's really looked forward to this one.

How stupid man I am.

OK, know I've been busy more than ever this year and especially weeks before leaving civilization for a rest.

Returned from holydays this night, seven hours ago. And now this?

My Christmas Eve!

Yes, read about this bizarre megalomania-event in Glasgow (of which format I do not like at all - it dilutes each discipline instead of honoring them), but at least I knew the dates.

But presumed the "gran finale" to be the race to rule them all and not now already.

I've missed my ritual two-hour workout to be fresh and ready for pre-race studio presentations and analysis. I've missed my start list printings.
I've missed my prepared bakery bread and my specially roasted coffee.
My fridge is empty and I've already lapped behind several times.

A Delgado late on the ramp I am.

Poland and Monaco should share a car as their flags are just upside-down versions of each other.

The Venezuela/Anguilla chase does not appear to be gaining any time

The Ladies shall rule them all!

Vatican need no car. But is transubstantiation legal?

Brian Smith really doesn't like the riders slagging off his wee lovely city course

Meanwhile a crash at the back

 

[MartinGT]

Ambulance car almost hit the moto rider.

 

[Rollthedice]

Looks like a pretty solid break. At some point a fairly hard work ahead for the peloton.

 

[Izzyeviel]

The Vatican is beating MvDP again.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Woke up, saw 'Alarcon' in a group ahead and got excited

Surprised that they're giving the break this much time. 8 minutes is a lot on this kind of circuit.

I think this is the type of circuit where a weaker rider just dies after so many repetitions on the circuit.

 

[MartinGT]

Race stopped! Protesters on the road.

 

[roundabout]

ooh boy.

 

[carolina]

Protesters on the road. Race stopped.

 

[jsem94]

Predictable as always

 

[Izzyeviel]

Just stop oil

 

[Samamba]

Will be eating an extra piece of meat and fill up my car tonight.

 

[RedheadDane]

Protest...

 

[MartinGT]

No race radios too
