Thought I'd take this one. Darn you BnB.

I wonder if the men’s guys will take what happened to the women’s race where the favorites marked each other out and go really early. France, Italy, and the Dutch just threw that race away.

Not sure on this but I just read that the men's race had an 80% attrition rate.

Story of the day​

At the Worlds Men’s Road Race, a six-rider breakaway formed early. Riders from the peloton repeatedly launched counterattacks, though only Garcia Pierna managed to join the leaders. On the Mont Kigali, the break was caught, and Pogacar attacked, with only Ayuso able to follow. Del Toro joined them in the descent. Shortly after, on the Mur de Kigali, Ayuso dropped. With 66 km to go Del Toro also lost contact, leaving Pogacar solo to claim his second consecutive victory. Only 30 riders finished.

Not sure how many riders started but 80% DNF would be 150 riders at the start. Sounds about right.

The men's race played out much differently than the woman's with the climb at 100km left. That turned the men's race into a whole bunch of small groups on the road.

The woman's was also very hard, but both France and the Dutch played it like they could bring it back the leaders. Only issue was all their domestiques were cooked by they time they needed to bring the leaders back. There was one point with about 40 kms left (don't quote me on the distance) where the Vollering/France/Dygert group let the lead balloon to 1:45 from 45 second which was effectively the end of their race with 10-15 other riders up the road.

I do love a race though where a guy (Piddock) bonks off close to 10 minutes in short order. That's when you know how hard the race is.

Gonna be busy with 7 races in 10 days....personally I think George bit off a little too much.

End of season with a bunch of races upcoming. Also with it being a loop, it's real easy to bail when you don't need a lift to the finish.

 

[Sand]

Tadej won with a three minute 8.6 W/kg attack. If I do the math here with my weight I get... .

Yep, that's accurate.

Reply...well I was wrong on this. In addition to the "Sixes" being to long with too many races at the end, the pricing is whoomped. George should probably trim the number of races and maybe schedule two times to reset prices. Maybe after spring classics and after the tour de france. Our teams are almost identical because everyone is smartly grabbing the undervalued riders.

I was worried about Bobby with the radio silence but he keeps submitting rosters. So all good I hope.

You had the smallcock. George did drop the bigcock late, but it disappointed today.
