AvV on the defensive all day, can’t follow any of the top moves, always in the chase, mainly chasing for Vos.Lanterne_Rogue said:I'm sat on a train and can only follow via Twitter, but I'm assuming I just missed something ridiculous?
Group of favourites arrived at 1km to go without AvV, slows down, AvV goes ‘erop en erover’ and no one chases till too late.0 -
As much as anything it was that no one was smart enough to anticipate it, apart from everyone watching.pblakeney said:

It takes some doing to win a Worlds RR medal with a fracture, never mind doing it again (and getting the jersey) two years later!
On top of which she's replaced Alejandro Valverde as Movistar's oldest WC.0 -
After all that I'd forgotten the U23s also get medals. Top three among the elites were Niamh Fisher-Black (12th, +0:01), Pfeiffer Georgi (16th, +0:13), and Ricarda Bauernfeind (20th, +0:13).0

Eurosport are effing hopeless. Highlights / re-run of WRR should have started 45 minutes ago. Crappy irrelvant made up tennis tournament over-runs, then compounded by 20 minutes post match waffle.0

The full women's elite race was on live on BBC2 this morning.
With highlights prog on BBC2 at 14.45
Men's elite on live tomorrow morning, highlights at 14.30
All available on catchup.
Shame they have had no coverage of the events in which GB won medals
(Except the womens U23 RR, which deserves it's own separate race anyway....)

The whole u23 category needs a rethink. On one hand you have a Women's World u23 champion despite there not being a women's u23 calendar, while the men's u23 race is usually dominated by people who no longer ride in races on their u23 calendar.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Does the under 23 champion get to wear the jersey in elite cat races.0

Probably too big a gap? Would U21 be more realistic.
Must be scary for the other young women that Zoe B could race as U23 for the next 5 years.0 -
Which if you are an under 23 women there aren’t any.0

I think a separate u23 women's race would run the risk of being an exhibition race for the Dutch B team.
Cyclocross do a u23 World Champs. The last four podiums

As far as I know there are no womens under 23 World Cup races so again the world champion doesn’t get show off the jersey.RichN95. said:flite said:Probably too big a gap? Would U21 be more realistic.

A different design of the rainbow bands ( like that Vets WC jersey with them in a v shape or rainbow bands on a different colour ) for each age group. Then they could all wear them in the same race.
But then again a lot of this is the UCI just ticking boxes.0 -
Could be worse... In Australia STAN have the main rights, but yesterday a free to air Channel 9 had Elite Women and Today's Elite men.Dorset_Boy said:Eurosport are effing hopeless.

At 4:59pm Channel 9 cut away from the coverage to go over to the 5pm News...
The race was at 2km to go !!!!!
That's how much Aussie broadcasters think of cycling, which yesterday was up against their biggest sporting event of the year...

Plus Wallabies v All Blacks , plus NRL semi final.0 -

Remco and Cosnefroy were both doing hill repeats between women's laps yesterday.
Volunteer stewards tried to kick them off until they were advised otherwise 🤣0 -
Outrageous. MVP arrested and charged during the race for an altercation with young kids banging on his door at 4am0
