Remco huh

Not sure why Ciccone feels hard done by

It's his own fault - he lost because he didn't throw his bike before the finish line (a bike throw gets you about 25 cm).

Remco did almost everything he could to give the win to Ciccone: ride on the front basically the whole last lap, butchered the last corner and lost all his speed. And still Ciccone couldn't do it 🤷‍♂️

Shoulda got a bigger bike.

He even chucked himself off his bike on the 2nd last lap

Dutch name of the year is Jop van den Biggelaar, which has become translated in my head through a mixture of Danish English to Jop of the Big Thighs

FFS. Joke ruined by a typo. I was ridiculously amused by it as well, even if nobody else would be.

I was otherwise engaged yesterday and missed this but apparently he says...

“I’ve watched the available footage hundreds of times and, in the shots where the finish line is visible, I keep seeing a sequence of events that I cannot reconcile with that verdict,”

Yet the photo finish photos released by the UCI which are taken from both sides show Remco‘s front wheel hitting the line first. His body is behind Ciccone but his bike is in front.
As above it was all in the throw.

Such a nerd.

Just watched it. Really happy to see Toms SQUINCH get fourth.

If you pretty much just sit on for 20k, the least you can do is win the sprint especially when you're 3 bike lengths ahead after the last corner. There is no cosmic injustice. The better rider won fairly (despite doing his very best to lose).
