If I recall, Pidcock doesn't even drink Coffee, never mind beers or booze.... He is from the North, he drinks Tea!

And OJ too, if I recall correctly

One of the 3 'crossers in stripes will be just perfect!!

Pidcock isn't partaking for some reason. But any one of the other 2 would be cool. Even Pogi would be fun.

We sit with a realistic chance of three gents with who could win both the TT and the RR.

-Remco

-Top Ganna

-Wout

he is only doing the TT as he is focussing on track and if I remember correctly the Madison is on the same day as the RR

Funny that, being olympic champ and all.

is MVDP going for paris mtb, they should have got a dropper onto his Canyon by now?

WvA and Remco as their main aces, they should be favourites.

I'd personally love it if WvA can win the race, but I think they will need to give Remco the prime tactic as he is defending champ.

 

mathews in with a shout at that price.

joh, this is this sunday!

 

 

is this the twistiest finale since like forever? from what i can see the finale is ~15km and has a altitude variance from 15 to 35m. It will surely be a messy race, very hard to control!

my next question, since this is in SCOTLAND.

Who is the second best ever scottish cyclist?

toss up between Hoy, Obree or Millar, anyone else?

Who's the first then? Hoy does have quite a legacy on the track.

I scanned the wiki list and I'm liking Danny MacAskill tbh

Looks like a 'crosser circuit!!!  All the better for those hard accelerations out of the corners. Come on Wout/MvdP.

I don't think he's ever done a worlds. Because he'd have won at least one by now if he could be bothered. Would be SICK.
