    The chasing group look too afraid of losing to win.

    Just shows how little I know.
    Premature summarisation. :D

    Was glad to see CUL caught as I find her really irritating and couldn’t have handled an interview if she’d won. Felt a bit bad for her getting beaten on the line for silver though. Lizzie rolling back the years, just 10k too long in the end though.

    I find Vollering far more annoying than Cecilie

    Not sure Kopecky could look more Belgian if you drew a caricature

    This is the first Belgian World Champion since 1973 which is insane when you think about how many times they won the men’s race

    Was nice to see a genuine team player support his team.

    Tough few week for me ... Family illness

    Missed a lot of it . Saw the women's . The comments how much better they race when not all riding on the same team made me laugh ..

    Blanka Vas - a great allround talent; I hope for her RR cycling future.

    She finally gets a rainbow jersey; having had silver/ bronze in CX & MTB Worlds over the last 2-3 years....And she was actually 4th in the Elite race in Leuven 2 years ago.
