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

[Libertine Seguros]

Why on earth did Ludwig pull through? You could see that coming a mile away.

She wants to guarantee a medal I assume. No way she was going to beat Kopecky. She couldn't beat her on the climb and she wouldn't beat her in a sprint.

 

[Savant12]

Kopecky isn’t the new Van Aert.

Van Aert would love to be the new Kopecky.

Specialized won't be happy 🤣 Kopecky winning on the SL7

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Van Aert would love to be the new Kopecky.

Well, he needs to stop working for his teammates when asked then.

 

[Dk one]

Cmoooonnnnnn Cille!

 

[RedheadDane]

Where are the graphics?

 

[Volderke]

Beautiful ride by Kopecky. Top favorite and she made the race, made the attacks, splits, chased where needed,… just brilliant and pure domination. Reminding me of Cancellara at times.
A race at least as good as the men’s in terms of spectacle and racing.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I swears its going to be a SDworx 1-2-3. What a joke

 

[Pirazziattacks]

This better not be another SD Worx 1-2-3

Maybe. Make her pull for the final 7k and you at least have a shot.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Going to get pelted for this, but I wouldn't mind CUL missing out on a medal after very clearly riding for second.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Looks like they are going to catch Cille.

Laptop probably about to go out the window.

Everything positive I said about this course and this race, ignore it. I was a delusional fool. This race is an absolute trashbag and should be forgotten about as soon as possible.

Edit: looks like they aren't going to catch Cille.

If Lotte wasn't here it would be a good race.

 

[Didinho]

They are not far behind though. Would expect a bigger gap after the attack. But it’s over.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Lack of time gaps and now distance as well has been a proper joke this last 30 minutes.

 

[Red Rick]

Vollering going for silver or just to club Ludwig?

 

[postmanhat]

Whatever your opinion of her, that's one of most deserved victories I can remember?

 

[RedheadDane]

Going to get pelted for this, but I wouldn't mind CUL missing out on a medal after very clearly riding for second.

Huh, she attacked and was caught by Kopecky who was simply stronger.

[Didinho]

Comon Cicilie!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Huh, she attacked and was caught by Kopecky who was simply stronger.

Remind me what she did after that?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Asterisked without Kasia

 

[Didinho]

Vollering still 2nd in the end. What a recovery.

 

[roundabout]

horrible to lose 2nd on the line

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Marty MacDonald: "there is nothing this rider [Lotte Kopecky] can't do"
Me: "how about take a pull for a teammate"

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Congratulations to Justine Ghekiere!

Just kidding. Kopecky was clearly the strongest rider in the race, although Van Vleuten's two mechanicals were costly.
