2025 World Championships

[eth-dog]

Started last night with the two elite ITT's. To nobody's surprise Remco won by over minute to Jay Vine in second, a big surprise. Marlene Reusseur won the women as well

Looking at the course for the Road Race, you'd have to think Pogi is the favourite again, but the tactics will be interesting from them and how they use Roglic.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Pogi is pretty unstoppable.

Zoe Backstedt (GB) wins the Women under 23's. Felicity Wilson-Haffenden best placed Aussie in 4th, 10 seconds off the podium.

Hamish McKenzie a podium chance for the men under 23's, but Jakob Soderqvist a heavy favourite.

We won the TTT relay. There's 47 km to go in the Women's U23 with about 40 girls in the peloton, 3 Aussies still there

Talia Appleton finishes 9th, got dropped on the final cobbled climb. French fooled everyone by riding for Gery when everyone thought it was Bunel, who ended up leading her out to win it over Chladonova.

 

[Orange Agent]

The altitude and air quality are making it pretty tough apparently. This is an awesome result for a 19yo from Mansfield to achieve, given that there was no real expectations to even be there at the start of this year.

Pogi's so so good

 

[eth-dog]

Pogi's so so good

I repeat: so, so good.

He's probably gonna win the Euro's next week as well.

 

[largebus]

Tadej is too good, even peak Merckx would get beaten occasionally

 

[two blue tiger]

Tadej just about the best ever. Extraordinary talent. And a nice bloke to boot.

 

[Vader]

Tadej just about the best ever. Extraordinary talent. And a nice bloke to boot.

Still only 2nd best ever, but will likely work his way into the GOAT discussion by the time his career ends.

Merckx still the GOAT, by a wide margin.
