I'm glad I watched the TT. I had Remco Wout and Tarling for the podium though. Wout looks toasted after all this.

I said Wout for gold from the start lol. Dude didn't have a good day.
 
No idea who's even in the XCO so I'm not gonna guess. I see it's starting in a few minutes, will try to watch.

My money's on Demi for tomorrow though.
 
So the Olympics all over again. MVDP crashes first lap and Pidcock proves again if he raced a full MTB season he'd take the world cup easily.
 
Yeah I missed Van der Poel's crash because stupid Supersport only showed the race from lap 5 onwards because they showed the U23 road race that no one really cares about till the very end. They're supposed to prioritize elite races the dummies.

So I saw Hatherly at the front with Pidcock and Schurter. Genuinely thought he had a chance for a medal but then he started to go backwards.

Ashleigh our last hope for another medal today and I think she can do it. She would have been on the podium in France if it wasn't for that TT :)

Roglic and Jonas are going to double team Remco like they did to Pogacar in the '22 Tour.

Mas will flatter to deceive once again.

Roglic takes a record equalling 4th title.

Oh, and also, SD Worx went 1st, 2nd and 4th in the Elite race, and 1st and 3rd in the under 23. The make the Jumbo Visma men's team look like fun-riders.

Why on earth would anyone with half a brain cell mention Mollema in the same sentence as Primoz and G.

I feel sorry for G though. He's gonna get mugged like he was at the Giro.

Shoule be between Roglic/Vingegaard and Evenpoel, hopefully Meintjies can compete and finish in the top 10.
 
I see Gibbons is racing Burgos, so good bet he'll make the Vuelta team.

Of course he'll be a worker bee for Ayuso and Almeida, but will be good to see him in the race.
 
Listening to a pod with Greg LeMond, now I know his cycling record and the shooting, but I googled him and this popped up. What ****in' legend.

LeMond is an avid outdoor enthusiast and fly angler,[139][200] and in 1991 – while still racing full-time – he made the world-record fly fishing catch of a four-pound smallmouth bass on a reel with a four-pound tippet. The record was certified by the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisconsin. The catch exceeded the then-previous record of three pounds, six ounces made on the same size tippet back in 1986.[201] LeMond confessed, "I always pack my fly fishing equipment when I travel to bike events. I fish every chance I get.
