2025 Road Worlds ***Spoilers***

GIven the weather 6 years ago Harrogate must have been pretty attritional. After the overnight rain its been sunny day, if only it was then. My overriding memory of the day is MVP blown up crawling up the Otley Road.

10th was @1:10 in Harrogate, 40th place was first over 10 mins back

Just caught up via iPlayer with last 60km. Pogi is The One.

Weird finish coverage on BBC, first 5 over the line then cut away to a top 10 listing. Some time delay in their coverage?

Was that on BBC2 or the live feed on the Iplayer?

Yes, the presenter said the race was so fast they decided to show it delayed to show a bit more.

Yes, would have been the shorter BBC2 one, first one that came up on the iPlayer. Race was prob over by the time I logged in.

I blame the french 🥖 they started going for it first lap . ,42kmh

The BBC2 coverage, available on iPlayer after the men race had a resume of other races/time trials.

So, according to PCS's somewhat arcane profile scoring system, that was the hardest world's parcours since Sallanches in 1980 (20 reps of the Côte de Domancy).

In other news, in 2027 the world's will be held in Sallanches, featuring laps of Côte de Domancy

Pffft Pog was doing 43 by himself on the last lap.

Pog could quite conceivably win the next two editions if he can stay motivated (I think the mental side is going to be his biggest challenge outside of JV at the Tour). That said Seixas and Del Toro put in good showings yesterday and could become genuine challengers.

Including a race with women in!

His last two years have been frankly absurd. 3 Grand Tours (with 16 stage wins!), 5 monuments (with a very good chance of a 6th in Lombardia), and 2 World Championships.

Good job we have MVDP 😁

 

[Dogtrousers]

That got me thinking. MVDP Vs Pog at MSR seems like years ago.

Pog certainly lit up San Remo and Roubaix....reckon he'll be motivated for them next year.
Might plan another trip to San Remo 😁
