UCI World Championships 2023 (Spoliers)

[Mr Celine]

Does anyone know when the men's TT is due to finish on Friday?
I can't find anything on the official site. (Which is garbage BTW)

14.15 start - at least a couple of hours to get everyone through maybe 3?

For straigh(ish) they should be holding the time trials next to Loch Ness. Can Pog outsprint Nessie.

It was embarrassing enough when This Is Rigged blocked the men's race. Can you imagine the headlines if Nessie ate van Aert?!?

(Pog doesn't need to outsprint Nessie: he just needs Nessie to take more than 3 minutes to eat the rider in front. 😉 )

That's usually the aim lol...but it's a course made for the TT specialists 😁

I'm watching the U23 TT, cobbles at the end, on a steep climb, whilst using a carbon TT bike. Not fun, the UCI are fools.

I was flicking between that and the E-MTB races in Glentress. Not entirely sure of the rules for the mtb race, do they use the battery the whole time or just as a boost? I would have flatten mine after 5 mins lol

No, my hero is my uncle, a three times National Championship TT medalist. (Flat courses with a minimal corners only.)

But yes, Merckx is the greatest cyclist of all time.

well, they (teams, riders) choose the bike (and material, tyres). And one glasgow climb isn't going to kill anyone, is it??

In order to try to keep up with you, I've gawn and found the Mens TT route and had a look at it.

I'm taking it doesn't actually crossover itself?

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Junior women TT. This final climb is horrible, they are all absolutely knackered at the finish.

No, that's not a crossover (if that's what you are referring to)
