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

[Eddy Evenepoel]

No higher praise than being compared to my man Zubeldia.

Jesus does it really exist pictures of him?? Ive always thought Zubeldia was a mythical creature only existing in our minds.

 

[iBanesto]

How can the greatest ever drop like this?

Still feeling the effect of COVID from the Giro...

 

[King Boonen]

Imo it's more like it shows how extremely specific this parcours is.

How extremely awesome it is.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

The Tour could catch up with Pog, not sure he'll make it.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Two-time Liège winner, reigning world champion, still accomplished nothing mano a mano in one-day races against Van der Poel, Van Aert or Pogacar. Incredible rider but clearer than ever how much luck he's had in his big wins.

Pog and van Aert rode last year's worlds.

 

[dazaau]

I think we all knew deep down this course did not suit remco.

Love the comment about the Vuelta being decided lol

 

[Salvarani]

Imo it's more like it shows how extremely specific this parcours is.

Specific in how the strongest riders are all at the front? Yes.

 

[ngent41]

No higher praise than being compared to my man Zubeldia.

Think this is the first time i've actually seen Zubeldia

 

[Monte Serra]

José De Cauwer still thinks Van Aert is the fastest of the four. Maybe he forgot that Marco Haller smoked Wout in the sprint in Hamburg last year?

 

[Danskebjerge]

I think Pedersen looks slightly cooked.

 

[fbjim]

Imo it's more like it shows how extremely specific this parcours is.

the big move is Pogacar/Van Aert/Van der Poel/Pederson who would all be at the top of favorites for a race like Liege or Amstel.

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone wanna bet Evenepoel is gonna come back to that group at least once.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is 1994 Ugrumov riding for Latvia or something

 

[iBanesto]

Pog and van Aert rode last year's worlds.

Technically Van der Poel did ride it too.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I may yet eat my words on pedersen

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pog and van Aert rode last year's worlds.

That was very much not a mano a mano race though, but rather Belgium riding a tactically perfect race while everyone else dropped the ball meaning it was mano a mano against relative minnows in the end anyway.

 

[RedheadDane]

The rain is actually just @Red Rick with some giant sprinklers.

 

[iBanesto]

Is 1994 Ugrumov riding for Latvia or something

Is he under 50% this time?

 

[fbjim]

Is 1994 Ugrumov riding for Latvia or something

we all love BIg Ug and Romans Vainsteins

I'm skydiving and crying salty tears at memories of Froome clubbing Contador

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

That was very much not a mano a mano race though, but rather Belgium riding a tactically perfect race while everyone else dropped the ball meaning it was mano a mano against relative minnows in the end anyway.

In other words Pog missed the move.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It's an AI-generated image. Zubeldia is the cycling version of Bielefeld.

 

[fbjim]

Kung is desperately trying to bridge across to find a winning group that he can finish last in

 

[Devil's Elbow]

In other words Pog missed the move.

But not because he didn't have the legs. Which was my point, Evenepoel has never outmuscled Pogacar, save for a Euros where Pogacar got dropped uphill by Colbrelli (who also beat Evenepoel) and Cosnefroy.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pog hasn't pogged yet.
