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

[Danskebjerge]

It's like one puncture and you're out. Brutal, but hey, that's how it is to be in bike races on any other level than for the professionals.

 

[iBanesto]

For the last 50 k, the team needs 2-3 riders who haven't been in attacks. That's not possible anymore.

Too bad Pogacar lost his team mates at the 271.1 km to go mark.

 

[Red Rick]

Van der Poel closed the gap there

 

[Didinho]

It’s a hard race. Gonna be 5 riders left in the final.

 

[MartinGT]

Philipsen, Asgreen & Ala dropped

 

[roundabout]

Philipsen also done

 

[iBanesto]

Jasper Disaster dropped.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pedersen going to be the only former champion left very soon, unless Evenepoel makes a miraculous recovery.

 

[Volderke]

Mvdp in pole position, contrary to Wva not hitting the front even once until it’s time to go.

 

[Red Rick]

Belgium Coleader Philipsen destroyed with over 100km to go

 

[Tim Cahill]

Trade team dynamics

 

[Potomac]

OMG jasper phillipsen out of contention!!!!! OMG

 

[Didinho]

Philipsen was behind a crash in the first lap. Jumbo maybe dropping him instead of Remco.

 

[Boehmand]

Skjelmose is the human reincarnation of the Energizer bunny.

 

[DNP-Old]

Remco bridging.

 

[roundabout]

I think Evenepoel will be ok once the group gets small enough

 

[Danskebjerge]

Too bad Pogacar lost his team mates at the 271.1 km to go mark.

The Peter Sagan strategy.

 

[Squire]

This race is mental.

 

[Filippo_3467]

If Neilands has something left in the tank he's still a good shout for a contender in the finale. So many people should be cooked when the come to the breakaway

 

[Didinho]

Mvdp in pole position, contrary to Wva not hitting the front even once until it’s time to go.

But he’s always closing some gaps behind. I’m following him most of the time. A teammate here could be crucial for saving energy.

 

[rallybanana]

Philipsen, Asgreen & Ala dropped

Col du Kelvingrove Park doing a lot of damage today

 

[DNP-Old]

Remco is back once more.

 

[Red Rick]

Evenepoel bringing 30 riders back to Van Aert.

 

[iBanesto]

I think Evenepoel will be ok once the group gets small enough

Just ask Pello Bilbao.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Think my prediction of <20, possibly <10 riders at 50k to go is, if anything, going to be too high...
