2025 Road Worlds ***Spoilers***

[No Ta Doctor]

SEixas on the front piling on the pressure, with Bernard in the break, Madouas with a mechanical needs a bike change and it takes far too long, he's got a lot of catching up to do. Certainly an eventful race the French are having

What's the expected finish time ? (UK time) , want to come back with 80kms to go.

About 15:30 I think (according to PCS)

That's just Alaphilippe for you. It's a classic move from him, just very, very early.

It's at moments like this I wish IainF was still about

They already had Bernard up the road and Parrot Pants also attacked.

Pidcock not looking good. It’s not the usual break of no hopers whilst the peloton pootle around for 200km

I think it might be 2h45?

According to the internet it finishes at 16h45 CAT which is 2 hours ahead of GMT so 14h45 here?

Not quite no-hopers - usually we have the smaller nations involved - this constellation leaves it up to Slovenia, Belgium, Italy & GB to chase, it's taken quite a bit of potential diesel power out of the front of the peloton.

Kigali is only one hour ahead of you - it's the same time as CET EDIT: CEST - Europe is also on summertime
(You're right about GMT, but you're not on GMT at the moment, you're on BST)

Think they're an hour ahead of us.

Abandon Alaphilippe. Stomach issues apparently.

Yep, that was what I was trying to get at. Only just over 40km in and already lost several riders including JA after his weird attack

It's also on their front page under "next races to finish" ;-)
They're local times though, so knock off the hour

 

[Pross]

Cav seems to be loving life.

Hindley puncture but the race seems a bit more relaxed. Crash with van Wilder looking hurt, quite high speed mid bunch and on a narrow section so could have taken out more. Soler looks out.

 

[Pross]

Bjorn Koerdt abandons for GB after being in the crash.

Soler also out after that, though he rode off. Ilan Van Wilder looking banged up and behind, not abandoned yet though

Meanwhile, Raúl García Pierna seems to have finally caught his potato

Recap ..,JA abandons ... 7 man break . French have been trying to make it chaotic. Slovenia taking up responsibility early
