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

There's enough Dutch, Belgians and Swiss there that if they work, they should keep him around.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pog catches Tratnik, what now?

 

[Didinho]

He really makes the race. Maybe not the smartest move, but you never know.
First time he got a better parcours in the WC and he does this.

 

[BubbaChuck]

they didnot give pills today to pog,are we serius.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Remco is missing, but I was right about 100k to go lol.

I don't know if this is smart or insane. Probably insane, but as it's Pogi, it could actually work.

 

[The fridge in the blue trees]

Perfect for Remco really.

Can't see anybody bringing that home attacking 100km from the end. Not Pogacar, not Remco, not the 2 together. Wait at least another lap.. and even then.... try on the last one.

 

[Izzyeviel]

If Pogacar has a sense of humour he'd celebrate when he crosses the line

 

[Nomadist]

Pogi sensed that Remco and Van der Poel were suffering and attacked. Good move given that Tratnik is in front.

Suffering =/= conserving energy

 

[Screecher]

Tadej must be ridiculously confident in himself to do this or he just had one of his "i don't know why i did that" moments.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Belgium on the move

 

[Froome]

He really makes the race. Maybe not the smartest move, but you never know.
First time he got a better parcours in the WC and he does this.

If vine, oliveira and sivakov work for him, can be a smart move.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

This cannot work. At this point it makes more sense to me if they agreed that they're riding for Roglic.

Oh, but it will. Cyborg mode has been engaged. It's over. Let the boring begin.

 

[Salvarani]

He is leaving nothing to chance this year to not risk to be able to be out-played tactically by stronger teams with numbers.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Man, Bagioli really fell off a cliff after joining Trek...

 

[rghysens]

Chapeau, but also it will be super ridiculous if this works out and a bit sad.

The whole year has been super ridiculous.

 

[Gigs_98]

Thinking about it I actually like this tactic. The dangerous thing for Pogacar was to get caught napping when the crucial move goes. He completely prevents this possibility by bridging to tratnik and letting him pace. But I don't think Pogacar should try to get into a TT against the entire peloton on a hilly course like this. That would not end well. Just stick to tratniks wheel and if you get caught again so be it, at leased you bridged a very dangerous section of the race.

 

[Stubb]

For me this was supposed to be rogla's role but maybe he has a "bad day" (rogla, you old fox).so pog was somehow forced to attack. Pogi seems pissed, like, who's going to help him in that group.

 

[titan31]

As much as I think is too early, peloton should probably ride. Not really bringing anything back on the front group so they can't be going to hard

 

[Peyroteo94]

If he wins, holy moly...

 

[Tim Cahill]

They need to catch the break before the climb/descent ends, otherwise its no-mans land.

 

[Salvarani]

Tadej must be ridiculously confident in himself to do this or he just had one of his "i don't know why i did that" moments.

Make the race super-hard and weaken the opponents.

If he loses he has at least given himself the chance to win... rather than getting caught behind at some point.

 

[stekelegel]

It’s not campenaerts en Herman’s that should be riding, but Wellens en Benoot. Belgians making the same mistakes as the others did with evenepoel. Ride 100% now or loose.

 

[Peyroteo94]

1 minute gap

 

[BubbaChuck]

thye said rem,co strongher in one day races,lmao.lets be serius.

 

[snipeheem]

If he wins, holy moly...

If he wins the debate about goat is over today
