Road World Championships (Spoilers)

[thom]

some big names delayed - both Vos and Bronzini.
Is that why GB were on the front ?
If so, that isn't so sporting but it's hard to say how hard they are pushing.

Vos was being led back up by her team, Armistead was with the main group I think.

 

[jarlrmai]

That's why the main competitors stay up front.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Vos is back and it doesn't look like she got taken down by the crash.

 

[jarlrmai]

Dutch team still off the back but I only see a few brits including Armistead in the lead pack, so Holland could do a team break at the end. Lizzie a bit isolated now hope her team gets back.

Looks like they have neutralised a bit.

Vos back on.

 

[thom]

I think the peloton weren't riding full gas and allowed them back - so many teams were been disadvantaged.

Very regrettable that BBC denied Eurosport the broadcast rights, Eurosport would have done it so much better

 

[jarlrmai]

The UCI coverage footage seems the best.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

What's missing is local colour, who they bumped into in the hotel last night, any riding they've done around here, what's the local food and wine like. All we're getting is very earnest, dull, dull, dull.

 

[jarlrmai]

I'm getting Abbey/Cheese description withdrawal symptoms.

 

[jarlrmai]

Attacks starting, Slovenia.

 

[jarlrmai]

Always good to see a rider with road rash making an attack.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

GB just keep putting in little digs - reminds me of the way Kenyan runners used to race on the track, constant changes of pace to disturb the others.

But now it's Australia on the attack...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

This is the selection: Vos, Armistead, Borgini, Johannsen

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Lizzie tried a couple of attempts to shake Vos off her wheel on the last climb. All 4 together.
