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

[Red Rick]

Couldn't see the beginning of the race, and the first thing I see is Remco seemingly hanging on a thread and then MvdP attacking. What is going on?

And why is Remco apparently so bad?

Too technical for Evenepoeol. Just loses positions every corner and loses every split.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Pogacar taking a non-pull and then encouraging the others to do some work.

 

[Rollthedice]

The magnificent 6 slacked out.

 

[Boehmand]

Bettiol is refusing to pull, which may get the group caught.

 

[GroupDK]

Pogacar looks strong as, taking those accelerations as the only one in the saddle.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Only one person chasing dragging this back tells us nobody is pulling properly. Which is a misplay for anyone in that first group not named Van Aert.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Degenkolb in Paris-Roubaix form

 

[Filippo_3467]

too many passengers in that group. Probably there has to be another attack to get it really going. Swiss and France could manage to get a counter move going if it' under 30 sec

now its almost closed. 28 left with a bit of breakaway dead weight

 

[Didinho]

Good time for a Remco solo now.

Pedersen thinks otherwise. How strong.

 

[Salvarani]

Pedersen!

 

[Panda Claws]

What is Pedersen doing lmao

 

[peterfin]

Everything needs to be done all over. The leaders are emptying their tank. We might see a surprise win here.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

If it comes down to a sprint with MVDP and Wout there, I just don't see MVDP being faster...but they're about to get caught, so it might be academic.

 

[iBanesto]

Pedersen attacks in the feed zone.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pedersen is Mads

 

[roundabout]

impressive that Tiller was only 20 seconds back from G2 at the line

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pedersen clearly has phenomenal legs today but a solo move surely isn't the way...

 

[bjaelkesex]

Bit early to sprint with 70km to go

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Stupid move by Madds, he doesn't have the legs to pull this off

 

[Danskebjerge]

Question is now can MvdP contain himself and not go ballistic for the next 5 laps

Mads Pedersen couldn't contain himself.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bettiol is refusing to pull, which may get the group caught.

Like he always pulled all season at the most idiotic moments, but now he doesn't want to?

But probably the right choice as they sadly got caught.

 

[peterfin]

So Pedersen making sure he loses.

You have the chicken and the egg the wrong way round...

On paper yes, but how many times has wout beaten mvdp in a sprint when it matters?

Mvdp has some kind of kryptonite on wout it seems

Surprised he wasn’t riding for Pogacar 😄
