World Championships 2024: Men's Road Race (September 29)

What? How can they not have shown that??

I guess he crashed with Bilbao and the TV director and cameramen are incompetent. This isn‘t even not knowing cycling, it‘s not knowing storytelling, because we also don‘t know where Bilbao is.

I would love someone outside the big 4 to win this race, then the forum going berserk saying they're not worthy winner because they've done nothing of note all year.

Tomorrow I have half marathon, some family are joning me and they wanted to go for a dinner to celebrate afterwards. So I thought, ok it's gonna be a perfect Sunday, do my run in the morning, watch the worlds in the afternoon and then eat

They booked the table for 14;00.! 2 in the afternoon!!!!! So I'm gonna miss again the men's worlds, 3rd time in a row I miss it due to training or social commitments , last one I got to sit down and watch was leuven. What a joke

I'm tempted to pull the old Bettiol illness trick

Watch it on your cell phone! Last week I let the fam know, nothing on Sunday it's Worlds!

Anyone who can cross the line first in this race is a worthy winner, that would indeed be dumb of ‚the forum‘

at least we saw every no-name dropout who couldn't keep up even for 25 km in extensive details...

Woods just having last nights Chinese out of tupperware at the back, absolutely mad skills!!!

Woods with an unconventional snack.

Absolutely ridiculous.

I’d eat cereal with a spoon in the peloton

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

TV Director again, we need a proper cycling man

Limited number of cameras (I believe rules state max 5): they can't be everywhere.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ok, so Bilbao is back now

 

[tobydawq]

Nice name for a climb: MAUR WALL

I wonder if it's steep or just an unnoticeable drag.

 

[wirral]

Bauke Mollema, perhaps?

Don't know if they keep the same directors but it's been a consistent issue. There was already one on what I assume was the crash but they panned away (Bilbao). Yesterday and in the women's tt they missed most of the key moments because they spent far too long lingering on random dropped riders.

That's not the issue at all.

Why would there be a rule about that?

 

[tobydawq]

Bauke Mollema, perhaps?

Or Alekss Krasts.

 

[scribers]

Does foss count as a danger man?

 

[tobydawq]

Why would there be a rule about that?

To not run bike riders down.

 

[pastronef]

Dillier with a gravel handlebar? very flared, look at that

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

That's not the issue at all.

Unless you know where and how Alaphilippe came down, and how visible that was to a passing camerabike, it is precisely the issue

 

[tobydawq]

No. Of course you stop by a crashed rider to film it.

It seems very farfetched just to assume that he fell entirely out of the road and was invisible to a cameraman...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Why are the Czechs investing so much to ride side-by-side with Slovenia?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Why would there be a rule about that?

Not for me to explain why, but I had remembered correctly (this time)

2.2.070 5 motor-cycle mounted cameras and 2 motor-cycle mounted sound recorder shall be
permitted. These motor-cycles shall manoeuvre in such a way as neither to help nor
hinder the progress of the riders.

Does foss count as a danger man?

No, if anything Geschke would
