The entire TdF was just to lull people into a false sense of security for the Worlds.

Really is bizarre and I hope someone asks Wout in an interview why he didnt help close Alaphilippe down straight away instead of sitting up and giving him 15 seconds of a buffer. Did he honestly think any of those riders would drag him back?

serious gaylord posted:Wout refusing to chase right at the start cost him the worlds lol. i know it's easier said than done but that's a case where he had to attack that group, maybe take one guy with him for the "even if I lose the sprint I'm guaranteed a medal" factor

Lol Sean Kelly is sticking the boot into him for precisely that.Feels Villeneuve posted:i know it's easier said than done but that's a case where he had to attack that group, maybe take one guy with him for the "even if I lose the sprint I'm guaranteed a medal" factor Its not even that, he just had to put 3 decent turns in and they'd have got him back. Instead he sat up for 2km and then got surprised when no-one was fully committing.

No, there's not only 36 finishers it's just that it's only been 5 minutes since the winner finished and they're still coming in

Apparently according to Belgian Twitter, Roglic should have collaborated with Wout since they're trade teammates (isn't that against the UCI rules for worlds anyway?), and they're acting like Roglic stabbed him in the back.

Dear Belgian Twitter, Nobody in that group had anything left in the tank except Wout, as shown by him easily sprinting from the front and winning by a couple bike lengths.

I don't know if it's against the rules but it's not really common practice anymore Reminded that Freddy Martens once claimed that Eddy Merckx was under orders to chase him down because Martens was running Shimano gears and Eddy was buddies with Tulio lol

Jumbo have shitcanned Gronewegen until next year with a giant asterix over his return. It all depends on what the UCI hit him with. Word is hes going to get a 12 month ban.
