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

[Logic-is-your-friend]

200 IQ move picking Wellens over the guys of QuickStep.

 

[Salvarani]

Van Gils now

Remco will have to attack sooner rather than later

 

[TourOfSardinia]

See why no one from UAE trains with Pog!

 

[titan31]

Only Wellens left?

Remco in third wheel

No there's plenty of them there. De Plus haw come back anyway and I'd be very surprised if Van Gils and Benoot still aren't there

 

[Tim Cahill]

I don't think Pogacar expected Evenepoel to not react on that initial attack now doesn't know what to do, this is the kind of thing you do if you're riding for Roglic.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pogačar is lucky, this seems to be Remco launch mode

 

[Gratemans]

I'm not sure that nickname will catch on.

Dangerous nickname when riding with Tiberi in a peloton.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I disagree. There's enough Belgians and Dutch in particular that they should be riding instead of rolling on the front up that climb.

Everyone else in the race is riding as hard as they can, and Pog can take minutes if he wants. The entier peloton can share pulls, and TT to perfection, and Pog still wins. I am not cheering this, exactly the opposite. The absurdity of hwat you are watching cannot be overstated. It's absurdity on a scale we have never seen in cycling. I don't know what to tell you.

Good thing he's rarely riding in the peloton these days then.

 

[Salvarani]

They might be there but seem cooked

Van Gils didnt look like he has much left

 

[titan31]

Going a bit slower up the climb to maintain gun powder for the next 20 km until the next climb is probably very wise

I dunno. You keep Pogacar relatively in range and other teams will ride. Leave it go out past a minute or 90 seconds and everyone will start racing for 2nd. You need to keep him sub 40 and that brings Australia, France, Switzerland, Spain into the conversation for bringing it back

At this moment the Belgian team has one domestique left and the Dutch maybe two.

 

[Salvarani]

It is soon only the leaders left in peloton.

Will they work together?

 

[tobydawq]

Remco looks effortless.

 

[Rollthedice]

Looks like there's one half dead Belgian left for Remco.

 

[Netserk]

Most helpers are dead.

 

[Didinho]

Remco time for a 70km TT duel.

 

[Salvarani]

Benoot dropped

 

[iBanesto]

Benoot dropped.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Sivakov should work, if he can. I don't think there is a better chance to win a medal for France.

 

[Salvarani]

Remco has to go next climb

 

[Didinho]

Remco goes!

Mathieu follows.

 

[titan31]

Looks like Belgium have some come across (though maybe how now that Remco is going)

 

[Salvarani]

Why not wait for the climb?
