Road World Championships (Spoilers)

I just switched over, and was asking for clarification as I was astounded. I had thought it might be a trick and we got a few minutes of decent commentary and then Phil walked in and shoved them off the chair

I could take Ligget in a bare knuckle fight

Not sure there's much point in this mini breakaway but it's better than the dull fare

Maybe we could set that up for next years Worlds? Bare chest, bare knuckles.

You can punch Paul Sherwen till I tell you to stop

If the doper Daryl Impey wins this it'll be as bad as if ValPiti does

That being the case, I hope Liggett hits you with an early punch to the throat.

Yeah, likely to come together eventually. Wish Kennaugh hid a bit.

Watched it a few times now and there's no doubt. Vos waited for her and then led her out.

Flying Monkey - good calls +1 Have to say I am not sure quite what we were seeing yesterday.

That race was an appalling advert for women's cycling on a parcours that was fine. Very slow.

Lizzie had no "hard luck" and I have no idea where she is basing her comments on. I saw Emma Johannson attack towards the bottom. The Italian had Bronzini behind so didn't need to chase. Vos chased alone with Lizzie contributing nothing and then as soon they caught Emma, the Italian attacked. Lizzie sat at the back, Vos looked behind. Lizzie was doing nothing, Emma was just caught, so Vos went again. The gap to Vos opened and Lizzie was drifting off with Emma. Emma got going and closed on Vos and the Italian with Lizzie in her wheel. Then as they closed Lizzie looked round and had the perfect view of what was going on behind. Either she could have attacked or, if she fancied herself in the sprint, waited. She waited and Emma got Bronze and she came 7th. And this was the girl who was last "robbed" at Copenhagen when she was not taken to within 5.4m of the line by Cook whilst her trade team-mates looked on doing nothing.

I think I can see a pattern emerging.

oddly futile attempt by Tony Martin

Haven't a clue who is winning this

Kiryenka is a trier

Nope. I'm hoping that the pure sprinters will get dropped on the speedy ascent of the last hill

 

[Rasmus]

I'm trying to get excited about Valgren being in the break going onto the last lap, but stupid Dan Lloyd of GCN ruined it by picking him as winner.

I just stuck a fiver on @Rasmus

Please, not Valverde
