Mayerhofer not safe yet though.

 

[spalco]

Please don't take any stupid risks, Remco.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It looks like Remco is a brilliant descender as well.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Remco very careful now.

 

[lartiste]

mayrhofer significantly slowed down down hill, the gap between him and the group dropped quickly to 30s ... .

Re:

No, but an Italian off the front of the chase and two in the group could help him.

With this world title, Remco also, definitively, takes the crown of best junior ever.

What's the metric? And what's the competition?

The metric is a combination of palmares and opinions. The competition was the likes of Kwiatkowski and Sagan, who didn't just win pretty much everything, but also were competing against each other (and Le Bon, who was really good as a junior), while combing it with another discipline of cycling.

Julien and Nino were dominant as well?
Or just roadie?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

In retrospect, Vacek might regret not doing the ITT.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mayerhofer needs to go all out or he's done for.

 

[spalco]

Mayrhofer losing a medal would be pretty brutal.

 

[lartiste]

Mayrhofer seems to be in troubles, just 17s ahead, 3km to go.

 

[spalco]

Oh crap. Mayrhofer's getting caught.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Mayrhofer struggling, he might get caught.

 

[lartiste]

2km, 11s

So why is Remco better than either of those two/three? Do you rate his current competition? are his palmares much better? I don't follow juniors so I have no idea if this kind of thing happens a lot and it's basically the guys who end up winning in the pros.

Re:

I'm sure he is and has been. I think he's done.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

This whole championship, has been plagued by terrible graphics and lack of information.

 

[Gigs_98]

Did he just make the goat sign? Well, he doesn't lack selfconfidence

Take this race in a vacuuum, how often do we see stuff like this?

 

[Climbing]

Yeah, he looks the timid kind for sure.

 

[Red Rick]

Already find him arrogant

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mayerhofer, well deserved. Strong race!
