World Championships Montreal 2026 ***SPOILERS***

[Dorset Boy]

Not sure what people expect - 260 kms into a full on race and people have gone full attack and you expect them to continue that without a breather?

 

[yello]

They say fortune favours the brave.

Think I might rephrase it for this occasion; cowards get nought. There was numerous opportunities for someone to do something but, no, they'd rather give up on trying to win rather than risk not coming 2nd.

As I said, I don't get cycling sometimes.

 

[Dorset Boy]

Perhaps if more than Healey, MvdP and Pidcock had tried to animate the race the result may have been different.

 

[Cathryn]

Woah I did not have that on my predictions list!

 

[Cathryn]

Don’t know what’s worse a Yank winning or a domestique being in the stripes next year. I guess people need to be careful what they wish for.

First US winner since he who must not be named.

I love an underdog winning but I’m sighing about USA having the win

McNulty interview - “miracles happen” ( or something like that)

Indeed. And then they sat up and looked at each again.

McNulty interview - “miracles happen” ( or something like that)

I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

 

[Dorset Boy]

Poor McNulty might have to have his @rse kissed by Trump now!

 

[yello]

Well, I'm sure we'll find out in due time that Trump was an accomplished cyclist. Perhaps the best. That's what his mother said anyway. If he didn't become such an elite footballer, he would have definitely won gold medals in the Tour of France.

He hit em at the right moment... inspired attack

 

[mididoctors]

He looks stunned in the interviews

 

[Animo]

I was about to call it as race of the year with 40km to go but not so sure now. It's a funny old sport.

Good show from the Brits anyway. Onley was super strong early on and Pidders tried everything he could.

What's happened to the BBC commentary?

The woman who was commentating disappeared when MVDP attack and now Boardman has gone

It's Brotherton commentating on his own

They were introducing the proper TV coverage on BBC Three with Jill Douglas. Ex pro Dr Hayley Simmonds is "the woman".

Yeah Seixas was a bit narrow in his tactics... Mark Issac. Showed lack of experience. Issac was marked out of it and no team apart from UAE
