For those of you that appreciate this sort of thing, the lower placings of the Danish TT nat chams today

In other news, Mads P was the winner, 41km in 47 minutes, 52km/h. I knew he could ride a TT, but would have thought he was better at much shorter distances.

The top ten has some very good testers in it, and Albert Withen Philipsen came a very respectable fourth - not bad for an 18 yr old.

That list makes me wonder why Niklas Larsen doesn't have a "Mikkel Bjerg job" in the World Tour?

4th for Philipsen is phenomenal.

Well he had one for Uno-X (PCT) but they're particularly well blessed with testers/rouleurs really

Absolutely destroyed it taking more than 4 minutes or if his nearest competitor. Only 16 year old in the top 10 too.
Could be the next Oscar Pareiro.

Eventually 12 year olds are going to win junior races by 5 minutes. 😉

The coverage from British Cycling of the the women’s race is really poor. No idea how far to go, an d poor camera work. Lack of experience I guess.

I think that's bit harsh.

I just watched the women's race (well the last hour or so, on and off)

The lack of distance to go was a bit annoying butI thought the rest of the coverage was ok. I'd imagine it's done on a shoestring budget compared to the big continental races.

 

[DeadCalm]

Is there coverage of the mens road race anywhere?
