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

[Red Rick]

Van Aert looks bad.

 

[RoadDonk82]

It seems there is unusual number of mechanicals. Any guesses why?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Pog must feel great if he orders Bettiol to nuke it that early.

 

[Riek s]

Pogacar and vdp biggest favs...

 

[Didinho]

Wout looked not so easy this hill. Remco needs to follow his wheel to stay in front.

 

[Red Rick]

Guys, I definitely think Pogacar came out of the Tour completely empty

 

[Volderke]

Every time the tv director switches to another camera, somewhere a baby seal gets clubbed to death.

More seals being clubbed.

 

[roundabout]

here we go, i think this is for real

edit: or not

 

[will-10]

ooh la la

 

[iBanesto]

Van der Poel goes!

 

[Salvarani]

It seems there is unusual number of mechanicals. Any guesses why?

Years and years of broken pints has made permanent small pieces of glass being scattered all over the road

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Evenepoel is positioning himself like he's the love child of Simon Yates and Ethan Hayter today.

 

[Red Rick]

Is that Hirschi or is the WC not a 1.1 race?

 

[Martinstranger]

The Danes taking the worst tactics award.

They should have had Mikkel Bjerg and Asgren with them still - but Bjerg not lucky and Asgreen absolutely not at his best.

Italy looks good and to have some legs to show it - I'm a little surprised.

But what with Evenepoel - he keeps going in the back. Might not be that good after all and get tired of the technical course.

 

[ice&fire]

I feel there are too many riders going out of their heads attacking so far from the finish

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where's that OP Belgium team everyone was raving about now?

 

[Boehmand]

Imagine Schmid wins this

 

[Poursuivant]

This young kid in green looks good

 

[RedheadDane]

Schmid playing with the big boys!

 

[iBanesto]

Evenepoel separated.

That Van der Poel got him.

 

[Didinho]

Wout with his Roubaix tactics now.

 

[Red Rick]

Comon Wout this is your moment

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I feel there are too many riders going out of their heads attacking so far from the finish

There are basically no domestiques left, so the first small group that manages to get a gap might go all the way even if it’s 90 km left.

 

[dobrien]

With each acceleration Remco disappears

Yeah, that last won didn't seem like he was playing a waiting game

 

[Danskebjerge]

I don't get how so many strong riders were dropped from the peloton with the breakaway out in front for so long, only one strong rider in that break.
