lechatnoir Posted August 7, 2023 Share Was it just me that felt Pog opened up his sprint against Mads really early? Mads had to follow and while the early going was good for him as his pure power in a sprint is better than Pog's, but Pog just outlasted him and towards the end Mads flagged while Pog stayed strong and pulled ahead.

Super Mads was cooked... He did SO much work keeping the race together in the early/mid laps and then went with every move later on. He over did it a bit I think and the sheer pace the top 3 put out later in the race buried him That was such a fun, amazingly exciting bike race to watch. I was hooked Underachiever, Schnavel, Vishal72 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read Poggi's comments after the race....."Two dead men sprinting". He said it wasn't even what one can call a sprint. That was how tired they were.

Only one other rider did - Pauline FP in 2014 No disrespect to PFP but the women's peleton talent pool is way shallower (currently). With the CX, Road and MTB worlds I don't think anyone has ever done a double in a single calendar year before*. in 1975 Roger de Vlaemink won CX and came 2nd on road. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCI_Road_World_Championships_–_Men's_road_race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCI_Cyclo-cross_World_Championships_–_Men's_elite_race *Mercxk didn;t race cross I guess, actually only won the Road worlds twice (not sure how many times he entered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted August 7, 2023 Share Jasper Stuyven averaged 350 watts for the last 4 hours with a normalised power of about 420ish, assuming he weighs about 77 kgs. That'll warm me up! He was the only top 10 racer who shared his Stravus stats. Beautiful racing.

They only give them out to the highest bidder, even if the highest bidders media service sucks (flo bikes etc.). These scummy media companies then want a return on their investment. Hence, they lock the race behind an exorbitant paywall, only giving us a little taste of the event to try and tempt us into buying their service. Basically, UCI is greedy, media companies are greedy, and the consumer gets screwed. The UCI and media companies have no faith in growing the sport so they milk it for all its worth for a quick buck.
