World's in USA

[jaylew]

One lap in and Vos with a big lead. It could be over already. Compton couldn't afford to give Vos 27 secs in the 1st lap. A shame she missed that 1st move.

 

[GPdesAmeriques]

Huge wreck for the women on the 1st lap.

Can anyone other than Vos or Compton win?

Vos has already won unless she has a bad crash or mechanical. 0:27 lead over Compton after just one lap.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Vos is absolutely dominant. Incredible athlete. Just incredible.

Has 50 on Compton.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This is a crit course. Perfect for Pauwels today. Bad course for Nys.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Van Der Haar is best on fast parcours; he did excellent in the snow in the worldcup at Hoogerheide.

Hoping we don't get places 1-7 from Belgium at the elite men this year

 

[spalco]

lol

Oh no. Did the Czech rider's chain slip off or something? That must be soulcrushing for her, but funny to watch.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

Elite Women:

It was Nash that entered the finishing straight in 3rd position and had a mechanical. She ended up pushing the bike across in 4th.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Dutch and Belgian affair only for the U23.

 

[spalco]

So, after three events the Belgians haven't won anything yet...

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Yeah! 3 gold medals so far! Go Holland!
Please Van Der Haar, win somehow!

Poor Bosmans, though.

lol @the Belgian commentators using the excuse that Bosmons might've come up front too early 'due to circumstances', yeah, Bosmons lost because Teunissen crashed, sure

Teunissen was just better in the mud as far as I'm concerned. If it was still freezing, Bosmons probably would've won though; it seemed as if he had more power, but Teunissen was better in the mud.

Korfbal

 

[spalco]

Men's Elite now finally.

eta: the Belgian armada in this race is just ridiculous.

 

[jaylew]

Hoping for Nys.

 

[spalco]

Nice try by Mouray, but he's going to get steamrolled by the Belgian stormtroopers soon.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This course is harder than i thought

 

[Puzzilan]

Vos was lapping faster than the men

 

[jaylew]

Yeah, course has slowed way down. They're dismounting at several ares that were ridden in the earlier races.

 

[spalco]

Vos was lapping faster than the men

They are clearly not going all-out yet at the moment imo.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They are clearly not going all-out yet at the moment imo.

the course has become more difficult

 

[Puzzilan]

They are clearly not going all-out yet at the moment imo.

even so, shows how good she is

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

even so, shows how good she is

wel vd poel was faster as welll.. but the course was rock hard, now it isnt

 

[Puzzilan]

The CN feed is good quality but I prefer the Flemish commentary even though I can't understand Flemish

 

[spalco]

Me too.

I'm rooting hard for Nys now.

 

[spalco]

Wow, Vantornout almost caught up again in the end, very nearly an amazing finish.

Exciting race anyway, and a deserving champ.
