UCI World Championships 2023 (Spoliers)

The German's fault. Pidders under braked him and clearly had the inside line before the apex. German should have taken a wider line instead of trying to take Pidders' back wheel out.

Are there any rules banning contact per se?

You mean you don't know the rules, but you DO know the German was at fault? Interesting ...

 

[Dogtrousers]

I don't know the rules. Just sayin'

Yeah, but you're the forum maverick.

That’s the Elite Men Time Trial started now.

An Uzbek rider one of the early starters. Always makes me think of Djamolidine Abdoujaparov on the uncommon sighting of that flag in any context!

Edit: and makes commentary too!

The Tashkent Terror - never was someone so aptly named - I can still see that crash of his on the Champs Elysees

He apparently approved of Pidcocks overtake and blamed the German too.

hoh yes ... it was probably the first big road crash I saw; and it was quite a biggie! Certainly stuck with me ever since

 

[Va Va Froome]

There goes Rohan Dennis! Ever present for years and mega at time trial. A last hurrah!

 

[Adam4868]

Wouts gonna finish second again today isn't he 😁

 

[Va Va Froome]

Is this likely to be Geraint Thomas’s last big event?

(Edit: oh commentary saying Vuelta 2023)


COME ON G!!!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Young British lad could get 3rd here.

 

[Va Va Froome]

He’s eligible for the U23 Championship but holding his own in Elite. 👏

 

[DogmaStu]

Remco is such a talent. Well done to him! Power TT!

Technically still U23 and winning the Elite WC TT - after winning the Road WC at 22 last year!

Josh did extremely well too - only 19!

 

[Va Va Froome]

Quirky little finish to the route.

Great performance by the podium winners!

Was Rohan mechanical a single sram single chainring chain drop ? , He wasn't a happy bunny
