World Championships Montreal 2026 ***SPOILERS***

[MadMalx]

Not much to look at until Lombardia, so was idly looking at next year's calander.
It appears next year's RR is scheduled to take place at the end of August, a week before a delayed start Vuelta.
The Vuelta will finish a couple of weeks before Lombardia 2027

It's a super worlds next year, I think, no?

Browsing rubbish on the train I saw a report saying Matthews had joined in having a pop at IdT for working for McNulty. Or similar. But I can't find a link now.

Yes super worlds based around Aigle / Sallanches / Les Gets I believe

I saw reports of Matthews joining in, the same Bling who did nothing to close any gaps whatsoever.

There’s a video on you tube showing Del Torro and McNulty having a chat at say 35k to go then at 33.5K McNulty attacks De Torro who’s on front swings off to one side.
I know these days you can make anything look like anything. But!!!!!!

He basically stopped peddling in the feed zone a couple of km later too. Then miraculously was fresh enough to chase back.

Cyclist have friends? Who knew?
C'mon, they're team mates and the US had 3 in the break. Del Torro wasn't going to win solo so...

 

[M.R.M]

While all of it may be true, del Toro did do a lot of work in stretches when the MvdP - Simmons group had gone. He definitely has plausible deniability.

I wonder if Sexias, Remco or MVP had won would we be still discuss the tactics of the race several days later.

Yup. There's some guy on a forum saw much the same thing https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/world-championships-montreal-2026-spoilers.312452/post-7705239

Probably, it's not like there's much else going on.

Is Pog better yet?
What exactly did Demi do that was so bad?
What was it that first repelled you about UAE team-member and American-enabler Isaac del Toro?

I think it's valid to discuss the tactics as they were a strong factor in the outcome of the race. When Pog has poor tactics, he can win as a result of his class, but not everyone has that luxury

I'd say it's particularly relevant as it was a very tactical race
