THE WOLLONGONG WORLDS... SPOILERS

They need to build a velodrome, so I imagine most of the budget will go on that.0

Not like Megeve needs the money either tbf...
A velodrome could be great for the area though. Get a half-decent architect on it and it could be awesome. I can imagine an entire base being set up there eventually. Altitude (kinda) and winter training for the mountain bikers who don't dig skimo...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

The Belgians and the Slovaks are in the hotel next to us. . . We might have accidentally drunkenly gate crashed Wout & Remco's press conference yesterday.
A group of us tagged along the course practice session yesterday morning. Good chat all round. The Backsted and Tarling siblings seem so relaxed.
Dumfries Av & Ramah double climb is brutal. #gubbed.
Is there more than one Alaphillipe? Everywhere we go he is there riding a bike. Saw him for 3hrs at 9.30am session, then later on just breezing along the Seacliffe Bridge, then later at 3.30pm riding up Bulli Pass on his own whilst we were driving down.1 -
Top 2 in the jnr TT involved in a nasty crash.in RR. Lots of road rash on Tarling and MacKenzie.0

Caught the final 20k of the men's u23 . First bit I have managed to catch
Bit of disparity between the lead duo and the rest of the bunch race endurance wise"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0 -
Never really liked the u23 cat. Never made sense to me"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Especially these days where if you don't have a GT or Classic to your name at 23 you are passed it!mididoctors said:Never really liked the u23 cat. Never made sense to me

Hey @alan_a I've just noticed a typo in the thread title - it should be Wollongong, not Woolongong. Any chance you could edit for future searches, and 'cos now it's all I can see? 😅Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

AvV can compete in tomorrow's road race, say the KNWU.

Seems she’s thought “right, I’m off!”

2:38 gap. With 30kms to go they’ve let her go and win. Utter dominance, mental and physical.0

Laps 2, 3 & 4 I got the entire hill to sing happy birthday to her as she went past.
It was awesome. As one section stopped you could hear the next 100m up starting.
She didn't even look like she was trying.2 -
Nice try @alan_a but still not quite correct...
It's Wollongong.
There are no double "o"s anywhere in it.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS1 -

Please don't expect much coherent typography from me today 🤣0 -
I’m awake so turned on the womens race. 42km to go. Not much to say other than it’s thinning out quite a bit now.
No break at the moment.

Sarah Roy of Oz makes a solo effort off the front at 34km to go but the peloton looks pretty organised.
Has broken up and come back together again so I suspect the favourites are just biding their time.0 -

AvV wins with a completely obvious attack in the last km from a group of a dozen who let her ride off. No other Dutch in the front group."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago1

I'm sat on a train and can only follow via Twitter, but I'm assuming I just missed something ridiculous?0
