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

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Mads looks so strong

 

[Salvarani]

Felt like Remco could do a lot more damage than that. He looks good.

 

[will-10]

I would put the house on Mads getting 2nd here

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Evenepoel casually playing mind games here.

 

[dobrien]

Bout time Remco showed up

Smart riding

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Pedersen wins this, it's time to hail him the new Freire.

 

[will-10]

still can't believe Mohoric isn't here. he'd have been a top fave IMO

 

[Martinstranger]

Remco looks good lol. He’s gonna go with Pogi today.

They seem to be in very good shape and have been able to not work until now. This could be good for them - but I'm not sure about Remcos team tactis

 

[Monsi]

Felt like Remco could do a lot more damage than that. He looks good.

Probably wanted a small group to go with him.

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar still has Govekar in the group.

 

[Didinho]

My dark horse Bagioli still there. But I guess it’s for Trentin-Bettiol?

 

[roundabout]

Laporte 57 seconds behind the main group at the finish line

 

[Monte Serra]

Italy surprisingly strong

 

[Danskebjerge]

I think Mads Pedersen may be the only Dane left in the last hour. That's not good enough.

 

[dobrien]

Felt like Remco could do a lot more damage than that. He looks good.

I think he shut it down on purpose, that just looked like a feeler to me. Waiting until people are a little more tired?

 

[iBanesto]

Fred Not So Wright - DNF.

 

[dobrien]

still can't believe Mohoric isn't here. he'd have been a top fave IMO

This is perfect for him, was thinking the same thing.

 

[Danskebjerge]

The Danes taking the worst tactics award.

 

[Didinho]

What a brutal race since the local lap. Now Italy again. Love it.

 

[iBanesto]

This is perfect for him, was thinking the same thing.

Tour of Poland winner is obviously better than being World Champion.

 

[RedheadDane]

Fun fact: The last Italian World Champion was Ballan in 2008.
I'm not sure they think it's such a fun fact.

The Danes taking the worst tactics award.

Yeah, we get it; you don't like the Danish tactic.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Italy always, always come for war at the Worlds and Euros. Definitely the easiest country to support as a neutral.

 

[meat puppet]

Trenton now, riding for Pogi

 

[roundabout]

the park climb produces gaps every lap unlike the more 'hyped' climbs

 

[Aimar16]

With each acceleration Remco disappears
