Cycling world Championships - GLASGOW 2023 - Road racing

[love2fly]

Just sawDarryl Impey bail with about 105km to go. Just wondering, what's the selection criteria? Is their a qualification requirement or required UCI points? I don't think Darryl has done much lately and seeing him bail bears that out - how are riders selected and does Joe Taxpayer foot the bill?

This is lining up to be a showdown between MvdP, Tadej and WvA. 

[Jewbacca]

For all the negativity, this race has been and promises to continue to be absolutely brilliant.

As far as entertainment value, this is top of the pops

Afternoon rains, 48 kms to go, variable surfaces, a flying Bettiol at 25 seconds ahead of a chasing peloton, a kermesse style course, and shiny roads that will favour escapees.

Phew! Intense.

Feels for me like they're on lap 72

Agreed. 

I'll be happy for Bettiol to hold them off, or for one of the 4 Chasers to take it. 

[babse]

These chasers are fire 🔥 and exactly my top4 I was telling @Jbrover coffee this morning...

 

Still a lot can happen.

He's gone. Van der Poel in Rainbow stripes for the next year. Redemption after the stupid hotel antics from a year ago.

That would put a smile on my face, maybe just a tiny bit less than seeing pogi in rainbows !

Damn as I’m saying this he crashes
