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

[Barnacle Bill]

Quite a performance, legendary.

I just hope Senna is lying down.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Tommy Skuijns where the *** did this come from

It's pure Potato Power.

 

[Didinho]

I wanna thank Van Baarle for all his work in the leading group. He’s just done it all by himself.

 

[Volderke]

Where is remco, the best one day racer?

He melted in the rain. Every superhero has a peculiar weakness.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

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

After they were caught after 70k, he went to the middle and back at one point, and kept his powder dryer. It happened. Sorry you missed it.

 

[iBanesto]

Let's see if Pogacar can survive Montrose Street.

 

[King Boonen]

Go on, drill it!

 

[movingtarget]

Great support from the crowd.

 

[Red Rick]

No bibs >>> white bibs

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I am cultural opposed to seeing any combination of Orange and happiness in Glasgow, but enjoying it anyway.

 

[Salvarani]

Worthy champion.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

There needs to be an asterisk next to silver medalist, since Oier Lazkano would have been less than a minute behind if he hadn't crashed last week.

 

[Breezy1985]

VdP almost looks afraid to celebrate

 

[Vino's Mum]

Awesome win!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The greatest World Championship I've seen.
The greatest race I've seen this season.
And, for me, the greatest win of Van der Poel's career I've seen.

A day to never forget.

 

[postmanhat]

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.

Yes he's in the XCO race I believe, saying he has nothing to lose or prove by doing so. First one since he crashed out of the Olympics as far as I can remember?

 

[jaylew]

A 2 minute victory with a crash, bleeding everywhere, no buckle on his shoe.

Epic. I'm so happy.

 

[fbjim]

the dutch should have had matching shorts, so Mathieu could have been the first nude world champion

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Let me be clear, he kept his powder dryer, but he is still by far the strongest rider in the race.

 

[Didinho]

I’m cutting onions. And I love it.

 

[Unchained]

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

Broken shoe and bleeding and turning over a 53x12

 

[magliaroz]

Wout for his beloved silver medal!

 

[titan31]

Didn't even see how Wout got that gap

 

[Volderke]

Mvdp is in fact half Belgian, no? 😀
Wva with his signature 2nd place

 

[dazaau]

Welcome mvdp, let me shove my hand in your wound ha ha
