Richmond World Championship 2015 *Spoilers*
OK, so tomorrow actual racing, let's give this a proper spoiler thread
Friday, 9.25.2015 | Women’s Junior Road Circuit | 10:00 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.
Friday, 9.25.2015 | Men’s Under 23 Road Circuit | 12:45 p.m. to 4:50 p.m.
Saturday, 9.26.2015 | Men’s Junior Road Circuit | 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Saturday, 9.26.2015 | Women’s Elite Road Circuit | 1:00 p.m. to 4:25 p.m.
Sunday, 9.27.2015 | Men’s Elite Road Circuit | 9:00 a.m. to 3:40 p.m.
Times are local times.
All races now use the same circuit
There's some cobbles, and some steep hills, but all very short. Total elevation is only 1648m, that's only a bit more than Copenhagen, and about a third of Ponferrada. However, all the climbing is just before the finish each lap. And the cobbles may make it more difficult. Last time there were cobbles in the Worlds since Ronse 1963?

Weather forecast aint great....0 -
Training on the circuit today, lots of pros getting a feel what it's like.
Boonen thinks it's easy, but could be much more challenging and dangerous if it rains.
Stybar thinks it's quite hard, and also talks about rain making it worse.
Kevin de Weert says the cobbles are proper Flemish-style bad ones0 -

Jelle Wallays (who's blagged a trip out there with Sporza) said they were bumpy but not in such a bad state"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Yusss. In the off season, I'll disappear (again) and re-emerge for the 2016 season as *Doha Dolly*0 -

nooooooooooo
The weather forecast can do one0 -
For the u23 I've a sneaky feeling Denmark will do well. There are a couple of solid riders there who did well in l'Avenir, including the u23 TT WORLD CHAMPION, and I think the young Danes ride well as a team.
Of course, they might have all gone out and got trashed when Mads Würtz Schmidt won the rainbow....

If you average the weather for Richmond and Doha it's probably quite nice, though maybe a touch humid.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Tao must be in with a shout. Interested how Russians do. Hugo Hofstetter France good outside bet0

23rd street climb0 -
To a fit u 23 that's going to go under the wheels pretty quick
23rd street climb0 -
Dunbar in the break?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0
-
Martinelli, Dunbar, Schachmann, and a Chilean and Kazak in the break with a minute - 4 laps to go, 60ish km0
-
I like the classic simplicity of that Chilean shirt0
-
Dunbar dropped on 23rd Str steep ramp, just before 3 laps to go0
-
A lot of paint on the road for the elite riders. Lot of people going for Loadinng Only0
-
Not the most exciting race ever this.... The hills are fun briefly, but the flat bit is way too long0
