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

[Tricycle Rider]

Such a drastic change in weather, the women really had to suffer through the rain yesterday.

 

[Bolder]

Beautiful countryside, would love to ride in that area.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Peloton is looking at each other at the moment, nobody wants to work

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Poland, Ecuador and Slovakia are very under represented compared to more recent years

Poland, Ecuador and Slovakia are very under represented compared to more recent years

Good for Slovakia is that they already have 3 medals from JR/U23 races though.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Graphic for the climb makes it look like we've got to tackle a long 4k 17% section instead of just a minor bump.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Allez Pablo!

 

[Tim Cahill]

VAMOS PABLO CASTRILLO BIG MOVE

 

[Tim Cahill]

Slovenia don't have a clue what they're doing do they, huge reaction for 1 guy and they've just lost a domestique.

 

[noob]

Castrillo 🥰

 

[Tim Cahill]

Slovenia now 2 doms down chasing a Pablo Castrillo attack from 129k out

 

[glassmoon]

Pablo still thinks he's racing La Vuelta

 

[Extinction]

Remco was badly positioned on the last climb and out of the saddle.

 

[rokovski]

Split in pelotone

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

It could have been carnage in the rain from early in the race, now I expect a much shorter finale / more traditional approach with favourites only opening from the last 2 rounds.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vine, Sivakov, Lippo, Steven Williams on the move

 

[Berniece]

Tratnik in the attack

 

[Tim Cahill]

Now that is an actual group they have to chase

 

[Tim Cahill]

Go on De Plus and Tratnik go for your own ambitions

 

[Salvarani]

Good group

 

[Berniece]

I think Laurens De Plus from Belgium

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Lipowitz, Cattaneo, Vermaerke, Tratnik, De Plus, Sivakov(?), Vine, Staune-Mittet, Cort, Williams

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Mustache Cort is aware

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

That should be the typical subfavourite group but I fear there is too much firepower to call it just an in-between move. Dangerous enough to chase quickly.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The Dutch gotta call their bluff, Belgium and Slovenia have fakethreats up there.
