Jewbacca Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Not only was she in the break from 200m out, she initiated the break. Her attack of the other 2 at the feed zone also looked planned. What a win DieselnDust and dsw 2
Nettie R Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 2 Dutch riders sat in front in the peloton when Anna broke away. Don't say they didn't take notice. It's like the commentator said: did riders forget how to think for themselves. DieselnDust 1

JCA12 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Just now, J Wakefield said: Its tough when you dont get fed correctly....or at all. That is insane that they didn't get sufficient or any food and stuff for the race.

According to what I am reading and seeing (vlogs, news reports etc) the heat/conditions in Tokyo are debilitating. Should I paste a few links FYI? No Tokyo by midday is debilitating. They started at 11am so temp was milder and they headed toward a more temperate area. Tokyo is a huge city, lots of glass. The cycling teams are based 120km away from Tokyo, so it's a bit better temperature wise. My cousin is over there on the media team as photographer for Canon so I'm getting daily rundowns. He was at the photographer zones for the ladies race today. Temp and humidity varied a lot along the course. He says it's hot but nothing he's not used to. CSA and mechanics and riders all saying the same.

Nic took his musette at the 100mm feedzone but ignored the feeder doing a 100m sprint next to him with a bottle. Where weren't they fed correctly? Really keen to know as these are all aspects of racing where improvement is needed.

kosmonooit Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Would the team car know what's happening via race radio or TV?

When you have no access to the 2 bottles on your bike for the 1st 100km, that isnt being serviced. Your race is over. DieselnDust 1

Underachiever Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I'm a bit OCD... So when you are at a once in a 4 year event like this, training isn't enough... The devil IS in the detail... when you have no race radio, you have to plan to get every little bit of race info. The Dutch were over-confident!! Great win for Anna today!!! PhD and Post Doc nogal. A big win for the NERDS today...Well done!!!!!!!!!!!! DieselnDust, Scary Rider, kosmonooit and 4 others 7

The koninlike nederlansche wielren unie(knwu) is very well funded and staffed with seasoned professionals in their field so there's going to be a tough debrief after this race. CSA has plenty excuses to get things wrong but the Dutch don't have many. They're just going to have to up their game Underachiever, Vetplant and TheoG 3
