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

Did they forget that chabbey is away in the front?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I think the Dutch are waiting for Ghekiere to be done before they will contribute to chasing effectively. No interest in helping Kopecky even if it means yet another self-sabotage episode.

Deignan's form is beginning to concern me.

Did they forget that chabbey is away in the front?

At this stage, I hope Chabbey will win, but she is up the road for a very long time and still has 40K to go. Rationally, it’s just too much for her.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

We saw how tired Chabbey became after a 50 km solo in Tour de Suisse, so it will be difficult for her to hold on. However the difference from that day is that Reusser is her teammate here.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Now they've finally decided to use Markus the right way.

Looks like a nice U-23 podium at the moment - Shackley, Van Anrooij and Blanka Vas. Will happily cheer for all three to win.

 

[Netserk]

let’s go!

 

[iBanesto]

Lead is only 48 secs now.

 

[yaco]

Australia can't continue with having Grace Brown as their sole leader in major championships. That's three consecutive occasions she has been a major fail.

 

[Red Rick]

I think what Vollering should do is ride with Kopecky while calling the SD Worx DS asking for a negotiation

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Vollering now shows her face, and she and Lotte are collaborating better as rivals than they usually do as teammates.

They're still not cooperating.

 

[postmanhat]

Lol at Kopecky. Those taking a breather at the back of the bunch out of the race in under a minute.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Booooooooo reusser

 

[iBanesto]

Kopecky surging...

 

[Netserk]

Yes, yes, yes!!!

 

[iBanesto]

And then complaining about getting no help.

 

[Didinho]

2 strong teammates in your wheel who may not ride. Vollering has to use the team now, good tactics. Lotte seems stronger in those shorter intervals.

 

[iBanesto]

Van Vleuten attacks!

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

The Dutch actually playing this well for once.

 

[search]

how did Lippert and Persico completely disappear now? Crash?

 

[Red Rick]

Defending Chabbey makes 0 sense here if you wanna win

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Vollering was gasping at the top of that climb. Kopecky is the strongest. But Kopecky wants her to help chase van Vleuten.

They still can't get rid of sodding Deignan. She's going to end up riding away with Kopecky to do the one-two isn't she.

 

[Volderke]

This looks like a crushing move but it’s not over yet.

 

[roundabout]

lol Kopecky cleaning everyone's clock there

edit: and even that's not enough to get away

 

[Netserk]

Bah. How inattentive can you be ...
