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

[Tim Cahill]

Denmark joined in and took the lead. Don't wanna give it away on the circuit and need to get rid of riders in the back.

Who is on the Australian team?

Matthews, Groves probably the leaders but no chance for Kaden tbh

Clarke riding too who is in good form maybe for a long ranger

 

[Aimar16]

Slovenia has a few guys who scores a lot of points.

Peak Sagan was the 13th best nation in the world

 

[Volderke]

C’mon Shimano Guy! You can do it! Run for your life!

 

[Aimar16]

Fat Shimano guy is going to fall hard today

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mikkel Bjerg's beautiful wife sabotaged his equipment because this circuit was too dangerous according to her.

 

[MartinGT]

Just shy of 4 minute the hap

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Tadej Pogaar (yes, it was spelled like that) just passed the line in 16th according to the display at the finish.

 

[magliaroz]

Mikkel Bjerg's beautiful wife sabotaged his equipment because this circuit was too dangerous according to her.

He is Emma Norsgaard's husband. When he wins a tdf stage as well, maybe he can get his name back.

[Tim Cahill]

Sagan looks a bit like he can actually be arsed today

 

[Panda Claws]

Blythe banging on about the Glasgow European champs. Where he and the majority of the GB team was DNF.

Blythe is shyte

 

[Wyndbrook]

Still a stop oil crowd, just a different name

Apparently a protest primarily again UCI gender policy, also mentions Ineos.

 

[Didinho]

Bjerg

 

[Red Rick]

[RedheadDane]

Emma Norsgaard's husband DNF.

 

[iBanesto]

Bjerg going shopping now.

 

[Riek s]

Remco has a hard time holding his position. Would be surprised if he can win this. think he will be dead before the final with all those intermediate sprints to gain back a few places, just to loose them 10seconds later.

 

[DNP-Old]

Kooij crashed.

 

[Volderke]

Apparently a protest primarily again UCI gender policy, also mentions Ineos.

So definitely organized / sponsored by Patrick Lefevere!

 

[Volderke]

Kooij heavy crash (not sure if Kooij though, Dutch rider for sure)

 

[Martinstranger]

Denmark one important man down.

Wonder what their tactics are - just drill it from the front with 137 km's to go seems like a long way out. Maybe Belgium are goint to chip in and do some work or create the first real split.

 

[Didinho]

Morkov feels like doing some track corners.

 

[carolina]

The sand bags on the barriers don't look very safe.
