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

[Red Rick]

Pogacar needs to be a bit careful to not respond too much in this phase of the race.

 

[iBanesto]

The difference in placing between Pogi en Remco is big. Haven’t seen the Belgian in front the last lap.

No one helping Pogacar as well.

 

[dobrien]

117k to go yet? This will be every man for himself at the end.

 

[RedheadDane]

Sounds like with all of the chaos and rain we could get another image into the Celebrating to Early/Late thread by someone getting second thinking they won.

So far we've had like 5 drops of water.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is unfolding mostly as expected, except that Evenepoel is completely MIA so far.

 

[Salvarani]

Pogacar needs to be a bit careful to not respond too much in this phase of the race.

He sat up but could be a decisive split behind this group.

 

[houtdffan]

was Remco dropped from the front group?

 

[SHAD0W93]

So far we've had like 5 drops of water.

It is Scotland after all, can change in an instant.

 

[meat puppet]

This is unfolding mostly as expected, except that Evenepoel is completely MIA so far.

Isn't he in the group with hooydonck and WVA?

 

[Red Rick]

was Remco dropped from the front group?

Think I saw him near the back of the first big group

 

[Didinho]

Remco not in first group. I think Belgium will wait now.

 

[Salvarani]

Van Aert, MVDP, Pog, Pedersen... are all there.

Not seen Remco.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

'the New Zealander Sam Bennett'

...

 

[Red Rick]

Think I saw him near the back of the first big group

Wait that's #4?

 

[ice&fire]

was Remco dropped from the front group?

Mission accomplished for WVA

 

[iBanesto]

A bit disconcerting I haven't seen a close up of Evenepoel so far.

 

[Didinho]

Think I saw him near the back of the first big group

That’s Stuyven. Remco red shoes also.

 

[Salvarani]

Remco going for the ITT instead.

 

[Berniece]

Isn't Remco on the red bike and red helmet?

EDIT: No, it's Stuyven

 

[Volderke]

Evenepoel will get destroyed on this parcours if he doesn’t move up. Or he simply is not good enough.

 

[KZD]

Laporte and Van Baarle are in the front group too, I believe.

 

[iBanesto]

Mission accomplished for WVA

Jumbo Visma 1

Quickstep Nil

 

[Volderke]

Isn't Remco on the red bike and red helmet?

Stuyven (in the front group) wit red helmet

 

[DNP-Old]

7 laps to go?

 

[Red Rick]

Wait they actually took off a lap from the total distacne?
