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

[Bolder]

Hammer dropped...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pog needs to rid himself of Pedersen & WvA.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Nobody ever needs to ride for Wout in the WC's ever again...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Helps Wout with what? Coming second?

Its not Remcos fault Wout cant win from a small group. (Its not really Wouts fault either of course, Mathieu is fccccing flying)

 

[movingtarget]

Game over.

 

[titan31]

citing punctures?

I mean you said this course is great for people who can ride bikes but we've lost a few contenders here just cos they've got a mechanical which has nothing to do with that.

 

[iBanesto]

Van Aert doesn't look good.

 

[magliaroz]

MVDP got this! Look at him go!

 

[Salvarani]

Such a smart attack. Pog was done with his turn and MVDP attacked. WVA and Pedersen first to respond. Couldnt follow.

If Pog in the same position as the others when MVDP attacks. I think he can follow.

MVDP is gone now.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Nobody ever needs to ride for Wout in the WC's ever again...

This isnt a choke or a big Belgian fail as Leuven was.

 

[jsem94]

Jesus. That's another five seconds.

 

[DaveJones2]

This is over 100%. He's flying on a course perfectly suited to him.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2023 Vélo d'Or, the greatest season of one-day racing of a generation, Mathieu van der Poel. 38 years after Zoetemelk won it at 38, it was written.

 

[Boehmand]

The thing is, that none of those 3 will be happy with silver - none of them care about "the podium", so this may not be over.

Van Der Poels seems stronger than everyone, but it's still 20 K to go.

 

[fbjim]

Pogacar doesn't have the legs today, this could not be more over

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wout not even as strong as Pedersen...

 

[King Boonen]

I mean you said this course is great for people who can ride bikes but we've lost a few contenders here just cos they've got a mechanical which has nothing to do with that.

Yes, no one ever punctures on any other course where handling plays a massive part. It's a very well known fact.

 

[iBanesto]

Stupid woman had a pram on the side of the course.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wout looks like he's suffering, but he's looked bad before and recovered. Lots of road still left to go.

 

[Lorzenz08]

I think at this point Pogi needs to summon a Vingegaard stage 16 TT perf to get back to Van der Peol xD

 

[KZD]

Van Aert cooked?

Yes,like almost always happens to him at the end of these +250km races.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Hope they all go the wrong way and bettiol wins

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Why did the km counter jump from 21 to 35 km to go just as he attacked?

That's what MvDP jumps can do.

 

[postmanhat]

Pog probably needs to go now if he can. Don't think the other two have much left.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Funny how a completely different parcours has resulted in a Paris-Roubaix kind of race.
