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

Easily? Mkay.

Of course, Remco will just ride like Demi Vollering and Pogačar will crash in the wet or whatever happened in the other races that will also happen tomorrow

Tomorrow will not be wet.

Who wins a two up sprint between Remco and Tadej ? The betting odds are part of the answer. But I don't think it will come down to that. I think Pogacar will get away from Remco and MVdP on the 3rd last lap of the city circuit and Pog haters will then have about two hours to contemplate the inevitable.

Obviously I hope for no crashes but it looks like it will be a dry race which is a relief.

The circuit isn't selective enough, so maybe yes, but no attack will stick, and at the end we'll see a group sprint with the likes of Pedersen and Mathews in it.

The circuit is more than selective enough.

I know, the ‚if this race is like those way shorter races in different weather‘ is just a questionable assumption

The only way Remco beats Pog is by dropping him in a long range attack which is unlikely. So on that basis I don’t expect Remco to be world champion by tomorrow evening. I think MVDP could win it in a 2 up sprint.

1. MVDP
2. Pog
3. Remco

Do we think any chance of an outsider (relative to Pog and Remco anyway) doing well? I was thinking someone like Hirschi could be a threat here with the form he's in, or maybe Van Gils, Ala, Bilbao sort of guys could cause an upset and beat one of Remco or Pog

I could totally see a group of "secondary riders" getting away (say Maduas, Schmid, Powless...) and someone staying away. I don't think it's unreasonable to put small bet on someone like Mauro Schmid on 120/1.

Looking at his results over the last few years, Schmid somehow finding a way to finish 2nd is far more likely to happen than actually winning.

Oh lawd he comin

 

[Jan the Man]

As an outsider Van Gils has much to admire. This of course is on assumption pog and Remco neuter each other. I think this is a possibility. The more likely outcome is obviously pog and Remco getting away

 

[Nick2413]

It’s time to bet the house on Hirschi. After a stellar late summer, in his home Worlds he will go in an early move for glory 4 laps out that never gets caught and will break free on the final crest of Witikon.

This is an easy call. Pogi will do exactly what Jan Christen did but will be able to finish it off.
