They're gonna get caught

 

[Red Rick]

Junior gears are so silly on descents

 

[Rollthedice]

The French lady catches the first three. Who's the best sprinter?

 

[spalco]

4-way sprint is exciting. At least one of them will be very unhappy.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Impressive catch up by Le Net. None of the two italians could do it, and they were right behind her with 7 to go

Where can I watch this?

Ah of course

Stigger wins! Great effort.

Nice to see the Canadian girl get a medal too as they both did the most work.

 

[Red Rick]

Brilliant tactics by Malcotti there

 

[Gigs_98]

Wooooohooooo. Austrian world champion in Austria. How great is that? Yes yes yes

 

[spalco]

Yes, excellent win for Stigger. Did a good amount of the work in the select group too, I'm surprised she had enough left.

Really fun little race too.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Junior tactics...

 

[LaFlorecita]

Great racing, hope the other races can deliver the same excitement

 

[RedheadDane]

Congratulations Stigger!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Junior MTB champion and now road race champion, looks an exciting prospect.

 

[stetre76]

Simply unbelievable, it's her 2nd road race and now she's MTB Word Champion AND Road World Champion

Super gemacht, Mädl :surprised:

Re:

The thing is, she actually doesn't have interest in road racing and doesn't plan to ride road races in the future. A bit underwhelming to hear that from someone who is now junior WC on the road but we will see. Maybe she changed her mind today

Alexandre Balmer might do the same this afternoon.

Exciting race, worthy winner, congrats to our Austrian friends here. On the other hand, that Igls climb done 7 times by elite men will make a tremendous natural selection.

Evenepoel is beatable, and Balmer surely is capable of doing so.

It looks a nice climb and will definitely whittle down the group, however with that 3k wall to come on the final circuit it would be a crazy decision to go early, unless they’ve got a teammate or two up the road.

fun fact - Boilard (3rd place) had no idea who Stigger actually is.
Before the medal ceremony, Stigger explained to her, that she's also MTB Junior champ and that this was only her second road race.

Boilard had to smile, just a little bit

 

[RedheadDane]

Gawd… I'm an emotional idiot.
Getting all teary-eyed because a person I'd never heard about before won…

Btw, did the German speaking - I assume local - speaker sound just a little bit more enthusiastic when he was presenting Stigger? Not that I can blame him.
