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

[GroupDK]

+1.41min now, literally in a class of his own.
personally, I had hoped for Pogacar, who would have looked stellar in that Rainbow jersey and ditched that puke green.

 

[Boehmand]

Pedersen burned himself by going solo at around 70k to go

Nobody in the world can stick with MvdP when he does such an acceleration - nobody.

 

[Lorzenz08]

Sepp Kuss ?! xDD

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Is there time for him to enter one of the Mountain Bike events later this week: take the trio and show Pidcock what it takes.

GCN saying he is racing the MTB but they didn't mention showing Pidcock what it takes

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I'm not sure what you saw that I didn't. He attacked multiple times and wasn't skipping turns.

Hw eas at the back after their break at 70km got caught, and let Wout and Pog cover several attacks after that...not sure which race you watched, bit it wasn't this one

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This could well be close to 10 minutes from first to tenth...

 

[postmanhat]

Bettiol looks like he's climbing Alpe d'Huez. Hope he can hold on.

 

[Unchained]

It will be absolutely brilliant to see Mathieu in the rainbow in the classics next year.

1:30!!! and has more gears..this guy is a machine!! Amazing!!

 

[fbjim]

sadly this race was decided when Big Matteo Jorgenson was forced to DNS due to injury. congratulations to VDP for winning by default

 

[movingtarget]

Hope Bettiol hangs on for fifth.

 

[Monte Serra]

allow me to be the first to say: those pale orange Dutch kits are disgusting

Next year they'll be properly orange again.

 

[jaylew]

Who wants to be 4th?

Pog, probably. These small group finishes in the biggest one day races don't seem to go too well for him. He's already got 4ths in MSR and RVV.

 

[Andy schleck]

Where is remco, the best one day racer?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Nobody in the world can stick with MvdP when he does such an acceleration - nobody.

...and he's still accererating...

 

[DaveJones2]

For some reason there is something quite reassuring to me that Pogacar can't hold MVdP in this circuit after the carnage of RVV earlier in the year.

 

[Didinho]

Wout is gonna win a sprint after 250km.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

+1.35min now, literally in a class of his own.
personally, I had hoped for Pogacar, who would have looked stellar in that Rainbow jersey and ditched that puke green.

Would have still looked like a UAE jersey, just with a little splash of five extra colours

 

[fbjim]

now VDP is side-drafting the team car. worst example of cheating in a bike race i can remember since that lady won U-23 cyclocross worlds on an e-bike

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Skuijns about to pass Bettiol

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I'm not sure what you saw that I didn't. He attacked multiple times and wasn't skipping turns.

Yes.He.Did.

 

[Monte Serra]

Amazing ride by Skuijnš

 

[Monsi]

CX World Champion, Milan-San Remo, Paris-Roubaix, RR World Champion

What a season! Chapeau MVDP!

 

[fbjim]

nobody wanted to follow VDP because those disgusting dutch kits made him look like a shirtless triathlete, and nobody wants to be in a group with a shirtless tri-guy

 

[RedheadDane]

Would have still looked like a UAE jersey, just with a little splash of five extra colours

Pretty sure UCI don't allow that nonsense.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tommy Skuijns where the *** did this come from

Edit: 5th in 2013 too apparently
