World Championships Bergen 2017 - Road Race U23 (22.09.)

Weather Forecast - Rain for most of the day

Wet still.

Re: Re:

Still a lot of rain predicted for this afternoon? Won't be a bunch sprint then, giving more chances for stronger guys. There are a couple of pros, which must be favorites, but Riabushenko would be my top pick.

I'd go for Riabushenko as well if Albanese doesn't make it. I am watching the Women's Junior race at the moment and it's raining. Could be an awesome race. U23-race is usually better than the pro borefest anyway.

Those two are my favourites as well. The Danes and Benjamin Thomas would be dangerous in a late move. Philipsen and Jakobsen are quite durable and could survive for a reduced sprint. They're normally faster than Riabu and Albanese, but maybe not after a hard race.

The French team looks very strong to me.

Who's the Colombian riding with a huge gear up the hill?

 

[Escarabajo]

Re: Re:

Why Colombia has only four riders?
I know there must be a criteria but I don't know it.

They qualified to send 5 riders, but only brought 4. Same with Australia.

Thanks. Strange that with many young talent they don't send an extra body. Oh well!

Is there any live streams??

 

[jaylew]

The UCI is showing all the Worlds races on their Youtube channel but it's geo-restricted so depending on your country you may need to change your virtual location. Plenty of free options to do that.

Riabushenko, Lambrecht, Jakobsen and Powless not in the peloton anymore according to Tissot.

Don't shoot the messenger, not my fault Tissot is incompetent and they add those guys to the peloton minutes after passing the line.

*** you Eurosport... SNOOKER?

 

[fauniera]

Anyone got a good stream, please?

*** you Eurosport! I'm paying for the player and they are simply not broadcasting this race.

 

[janraaskalt]

A hand full of the strongest riders in front. Probably the peloton won't come back to them.

A couple of countries should work together, but they aren't.

 

[fauniera]

Eurosport is live now. On TV, not in the player.

 

[Samamba]

Ridiculous tactics from some of the big teams.

I'm watching it (British Eurosport) on the player.

 

[Samamba]

It s done. They're not coming back.

 

[Bushman]

Like what the hell is Italy and Belgium doing? Not chasing, not following the moves. I don't get it.

 

[janraaskalt]

Did McNulty drop from the lead group?

 

[Samamba]

Spain finally understands they have one of the big favorites

Re:

you mean Belgium?

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Re:

They did thanks to Spain. Still a big peloton.

Attacking on the climb of the penultimate lap is not a good idea.

Re:

Nope stupid move from Lambrecht. He's good but that was already his 3rd move. His team isn't strong enough (Dewulf seems fine but where is the rest?)
