Who do you think will win gold at this yearโs world champs? ๐ฅ๐
Gutted that Pidcock has chosen to focus on the XCO instead of the RR, does kinda feel like the course was drawn up with him in mind. Wout van Aert is my tip for the Rainbow jersey, maybe Tadej in with an outside chance
Audrey McElmury was world road champ for the US in 1969
Why do the male presenters almost always dress like slobs? Can you guys dress up a little bit and comb your hair?
โRighhhtโ
MRR – Pogi
MTT – Remco
WRR – Kopecky
WTT – Reusser
So Wout van Aert how are tou feeling about winning at the UCIs 2023?
WVA: yes.
Winner will be decided on what the makeup of the break is. The right combo won't be caught and might work together well enough to stay out until the line. A weak break will result in a sprint finish. I still think Wout or MVdP wins in that scenario.
Actually, it is not a shame that Pidcock won't be in the road race as his stregth and passion is XCO and that will help make it an excellent race.
Gonna go with Mads Pedersen
bizarre to see place names in fife on the world championships parcours
Um cyclocross races are 1 hour. I donโt think itโs a fair comparison. I think this course is too hard for MVP. Remco or Pogacar, Iโll say Remco takes it.
For the women, Iโll go with Kopecky.
Beth Heiden of the USA won the Cycling Road World Championships in 1980.
i don't like mvdp so i hope wva ๐
MVDP and Niewiadoma!
Derek Gee will be in a break, but zero chance of a podium.
evenepoel won on the sprint to bilbao who weights 32g… let's see if he can do the same with van del poel or van aert
I really hope for Mads P or MVDP. Both would be absolute fantastic world champs. And would be great to see Kรผng finally get his WC TT.
Lazkano is not riding actually, which I find very odd.
My heart goes for Pogi. Iโm not actually sure tho, can someone tell me how good his chances are?
Cant help thinking that the organisers may have missed an opportunity here with basically a "flat" course. You're in Scotland at the end of the day so a few more lumps would have been interesting.
Who pays/manages the riders and maintain/provide their equipment when they ride for their country and not for their pro team?
14:11 you said van der Poel,Ganna,Kรผng,Van Aert,Cavagna are the favorites for TT.
Surely you meant Evenepoel jnstead of VDP , he isn't even participating.
