World Championships 2023: Womens Elite Road Race. Loch Lomond - Glasgow 154km

[Ilmaestro99]

Very small group

 

[Volderke]

Kopecky should just go in once very hard instead of allowing riders up the road; the Netherlands won’t close all those gaps. (Just said it and here she goes)

 

[Izzyeviel]

Now a bike change for Van Vleuten.

1.21 mins behind now.

who decided wheel changes were quicker than changing bikes? Time & time again its a disaster

 

[Didinho]

Very small group

There’s Persico again. Looking strong. But still a long way to go. Remember de Ronde.

Idiocy.

Trust the Dutch to stuff it up.

No communication and she was pointing to her front wheel so the mechanic went with a wheel.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Would not like this chase group if I’m the Dutch.

 

[RedheadDane]

No broken collarbone for Norsgaard after all.

 

[Dk one]

Nothing broken for Norsgaard as per Danish tv2.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Again Kopecky getting frustrated at not being assisted, but why is Riejanne Markus going to contribute with the race favourite when she has people like Vollering and van Vleuten behind? Obviously Reusser isn't going to help while Chabbey is up there, Lippert and Schweinberger just caught on and will want a breather before they take up the pacing, so it's only Persico - who was dropped earlier - and Szkalniak-Sójka who she could have counted on there... and I wouldn't hold it against either of them to say, Lotte, you're the strongest here, we want you to expend the energy to redress the balance a bit before we're willing to help.

They ought to contribute enough to keep the momentum in the group but it's only the fair and right thing to do to demand the strongest and best rider in the group take up the responsibility,

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Persico and skolniak sojka in the front of the race, this is what you want

 

[Samu Cuenca]

An angry Annemiek is a dangerous Annemiek.

Only 3 U23 riders left in front.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

AVV gets back and immediately attacks. Legend

 

[Netserk]

Kopecky better not wait too long before she commits fully and smashes them to pieces. Soon she will be completely isolated.

 

[RedheadDane]

Danish commentator needs to be punished!

"AG insurance, Lotto Quickstep"...

 

[RedheadDane]

Henderson down...

 

[Netserk]

Henderson down...

Too bad, she looked great on the first couple of laps.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Danish commentator needs to be punished!

"AG insurance, Lotto Quickstep"...

The worst thing is that Ravnkilde is actually the expert among the three of them. They should have hired me instead.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Not sure who caused that, but Baril did a phenomenal job to not end up in the crowd. It was between Henderson and Boilard, not sure if Henderson went down and Boilard was following closely and unable to react, or if Boilard just touched Henderson's wheel.

 

[Volderke]

If they give Chabbey 2 minutes, Dutch women will long have forgotten there is someone up the road and celebrate second at the finish.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This is pure grinta of elise chabey

 

[Libertine Seguros]

If they give Chabbey 2 minutes, Dutch women will long have forgotten there is someone up the road and celebrate second at the finish.

They'd better not play the "how can I underestimate a rider I don't know?" card with regards to Elise Chabbey though.

If it was disrespectful to Kiesenhofer who had won MTFs in the Tour de l'Ardêche and placed strongly in European Championships TTs, it would be downright insulting to Elise Chabbey.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Dutch Disease (refusing to use your numbers constructively)

 

[Netserk]

Dutch Disease (refusing to use your numbers constructively)

While they are not Italy, they at least aren’t Germany neither.

I fail to understand why teams with multiple riders are not using their team strength.
