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

[Escarabajo]

Remco waits for the flat to attack!

 

[Izzyeviel]

Pog does know about the rainbow curse right?

 

[memyselfandI]

Have you ever seen a group like this in a big race doing ttt?

Yeah, they learn very slow even after couple of years of Pogi being around.

 

[Heston]

Fleche Wallone is now officially the best one day race of 2024.

All the big races have been horribly unexciting with the winner known in advance. Bless Ben O Connor for giving us a couple weeks of fun bike race this year.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

2024, the year in which Sanremo was the most exciting one day race.

 

[titan31]

Pogacar starting to pretend to be tired now. Got to make himself look human.

Commentators being dumb and falling for it

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Common guys

 

[scribers]

Pogi lead shrinking

 

[Gigs_98]

Gap coming down pretty quickly right now

 

[E_F_]

So how do you know it's not entertaining? Do you also turn off the TV when the favorite in a football match gets ahead 1-0? The match can still be entertaining, even if the favorite is winning.

I know it's not entertaining because I turned it off after the result had been sealed for a while. I don't watch Champions League because the result is almost always given beforehand.

 

[Tim Cahill]

'Knock it off a bit make it look more believable'

 

[Salvarani]

Bardet?!

Havent notice him

What a season he is having at his respectable age

 

[Izzyeviel]

Pogacar cracking

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Pogacar starting to pretend to be tired now. Got to make himself look human

Oh my god, not this fallacy again

 

[E_F_]

Just ignore Pog, I think there's a fun and exciting race going on behind him. It's what I'm doing.

I don't care about second.

 

[Didinho]

The right moment for the time gap board.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

The year in which the most exciting one day race was won by Jasper Philipsen

Cycling is in a terrible state.

 

[Miha81]

I blame no race radio to be honest. No way that Tadej can stay away if radio was allowed.

He is fading now. But they will probably not know

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Commentators hyping something up that isn't there has been the story over and over of the last two years.

 

[memyselfandI]

Bardet maybe grabbing one more Worlds medal on his way to the airport, old fox.

 

[limak_]

But you can't. And if you try, you explode. There are a thousand examples of that.

I'm not convinced the guys I mentioned wouldn't have been able to follow that attack. He didn't go 100% there

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pog looks like he's hurting. But so is everyone else.

 

[E_F_]

I'm not convinced the guys I mentioned wouldn't have been able to follow that attack. He didn't go 100% there

He didn't have to.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Hirschi going for medal

All of Switzerland's cowbells have suddenly woken up.

 

[Danskebjerge]

So they underestimated him?

And overestimated how much help they could get from their helpers?

If a rider can't be caught by a group consisting of ten of the world's best riders, after 2-3 hours of chasing, then tactics and all other factors are irrelevant.
