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

[postmanhat]

Evenepoel and Van Baarle look like they're beginning to struggle. The two best doms remaining for this sort of chase.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Time to switch to Italian commentary in Eurosport.

La Rai are happy
so far

 

[Didinho]

Hopefully no more crashes.

Küng still there. Bettiol 40sec.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

The forced Wout's hand.

 

[dobrien]

If he was ever going to pull it off today are perfect course and conditions. The big guns will have to chase

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Same four riders who were with Bettiol earlier, plus Benoot, only 40+ seconds down now. Mistakes were made.

 

[iBanesto]

Skjelmose mechanical.

 

[Boehmand]

Flat for Skjelmose - that is a blow to Pedersen's chances

 

[Davesta]

Kung not enjoying the wet corners - letting gaps open up

 

[Riek s]

Bettiol.. if the others don't start working together or getting in a small group that works... He can win this...

 

[Danskebjerge]

Pedersen alone. Disappointing with such a big squad, and riders in good shape.

 

[jaylew]

Narvaez crashes.

I've been wincing during every turn.

Bettiol had great timing with his attack with the rain starting soon after.

 

[LookProGoSlow]

Hahahaaa spoke too soon boy

you did brother

 

[KZD]

Kung not enjoying the wet corners - letting gaps open up

He and Remco probably don't want to risk it all because of the time trial.

 

[Red Rick]

Guys now is a perfect time to stop showing the gap

 

[Danskebjerge]

Bettiol.. if the others don't start working together or getting in a small group that works... He can win this...

It's all up to the Belgians.

 

[Didinho]

They’re gonna work together now.

 

[Rollthedice]

La Rai are happy

Unfortunately just checked and Eurosport player isn't in Italian. Most likely Rai is broadcasting there.

 

[Boehmand]

Apparently not a mechanical for Skjelmose, but a need to adjust the tire pressure because of the wet roads.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pedersen alone. Disappointing with such a big squad, and riders in good shape.

Just about everyone is alone now, Skjelmose wouldn't have been in this chase group anyway and they have to keep going there regardless. IMO he'd already done all he could for Pedersen.

 

[LookProGoSlow]

He and Remco probably don't want to risk it all because of the time trial.

nonsens, If you have the legs you go for the win.

 

[Red Rick]

Evenepoel is definitely done here

 

[jaylew]

These 4 and Bettiol have looked the strongest all day.

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar, Van der Poel, Van Aert and Pedersen chasing.

Big four.

Top 4 in Flanders are off!
