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

now should be van Baarle/Küng move territory

 

[Devil's Elbow]

France pulled this back for the benefit of every team but themselves...

 

[Potomac]

BBC has me totally confused about how many laps are left.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

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.

Van Aerts winrate in sprints in a small group after 250k+ is quite literally below average...

 

[Didinho]

Some rest moment finally. Toilet break everyone.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

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

Oh, very true...and if wout leads it out like he did in the CX, world's and waits for MVDP to kick, he needs to be smacked. Maybe today, he makes up for his stupidity that day?

Did Skjelmose just take a puff for the final 65k?!

 

[Panda Claws]

Belgium has this intense desire to make the race in whatever WC they ride.

And Wout's lost the majority of their sprint finishes in cross as well.

I think we're sewing a different Wout today, but history says you're right.

 

[Filippo_3467]

riding in the breakaway was the right move. Many of them could follow quite well

Remco doesn't want to spend energy on the short punchy climbs.

 

[Volderke]

Belgians trying to drop Remco? (He’s probably just not good enough)

 

[GroupDK]

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

sure, the former world champ doesn't know how to ride or feel his own legs, you know better about his legs..

 

[memyselfandI]

Did Skjelmose just take a puff for the final 65k?!

Looked like that..

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pog may spoil the day for everyone.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Remco is saving himself to unleash hell.

 

[Panda Claws]

Evenepoel slept badly because of fight between the Patricks

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I think he doesnt have the legs today.

I'll mark this post to go back to at the finish...and I'll note that his stupid move was covered...easily, but you do you.

No he spends energy everywhere else. He is dead. (If he is good he rides in front). Belgium should focus on wva who looks strongest together with his teammate

 

[Salvarani]

Pog!

 

[Volderke]

Remco planning his solo from somewhere 1km down the front, refusing to do any explosive effort. 😀

 

[Monte Serra]

Narváez for the win!

That Slovenian jersey is ugly.

It's what the TdF points jersey should look like
