Road Cycling UCI World Championships 2018

A well organized peloton can easily catch the break. The dangerous thing is, what if the race splits on the descent or some favorites go really early before the break is caught. For the same reason Paris Roubaix is so often won by the break as the peloton thinks it can easily close a 3 or 4 minutes gap until suddenly the peloton blows up in arenberg and nobody is able to organize a proper chase. If something unexpected happens this could be dangerous for the favorites. 

 

Also you never quite know how well organized they'll be in teams with several potential winners.

When was the last time that a break won the WCh?

2013 I think? When there was a lead group and the Spaniards refused to help each other so totally fucked up their almost certain gold and let Rui Costa ride away to the gold :d (which was awesome because I had money on him at odds of 63)

Luckily Sagan anticipated this by becoming Slovak champion, so yet again he won't have to ride around in a regular sponsor's jersey :p

Schachmann in trouble, Benoot in trouble. 

 

And some thought Schachmann was a bigger favorite than Sagan... :p

    • Judo? That would allow France to win a lot of medals.
    • Nazgul entering finish line in womens team sprint qualifications.
    • luckily for all of us (myself included, I don't want to get mad), I will never rule on anything anywhere (not even at home) 
    • Easily the best work assignment I’ve ever had. It was an incredible experience in-person at the Arena di Verona. 
    • I know that probably nobody care about it here, but today in Wisła were held national championships. Only one round was held, with second being cancelled by heavy rain.   Kacper Tomasiak was winner with 128.0m, second was Dawid Kubacki with 131.5m and third was Paweł Wąsek with 122.5m, 47 jumpers competed in it.   Among womens winner was Anna Twardosz with 117.0m, second was Pola Bełtowska with 106.0m and third was Nicole Konderla-Juroszek with 88.0m. Only 4, yes four jumpers take parts in it, additionaly Konderla-Juroszek announced break from sport after being bronze medalist.    And still people were mad about Bełtowska results in Olympics. How it can be good when we have, now, just 3 active female jumpers???
    • And that's a wrap! The end of the Olympics always gets me. For a couple of weeks, the whole world is cheering, feeling the same highs and heartbreaks together, and suddenly it’s over. I’m really going to miss that.
    • I think Compagnoni is one of the biggest talents in the history of alpine skiing (in a different universe where she didn't have all those the dramatic injuries, she'd probably be a GOAT candidate), but in terms of career achievements, I believe Brignone is above her at this point.
    • Alpine Skiing Return of the team parallel event   Biathlon No change   Bobsleigh Remove the two-man and just have monotone and four-man for both genders.   Cross country skiing No change   Curling No change   Figure Skating No change   Freestyle Skiing Add mixed ski cross team event, mixed dual moguls team event, and a rail event   Ice hockey No change (yet)     Luge No change   Nordic combined Men’s team event back to four athletes Add one women’s individual event Add a mixed team event   Short track No change   Skeleton No change   Ski jumping Men’s team event back to 4 athletes per team Add women’s team event   Ski mountaineering Add individual and vertical races   Snowboarding Add PSL Add a mixed team parallel event Add rail event   Speed skating Remove the women’s 3000m and add a women’s 10000m Add the team sprint   New Sports Cross country running Men’s and women’s individual and team events, mixed relay   Cyclocross Men’s and women’s individual   Freeride men’s and women’s ski men’s and women’s snowboard   Ice climbing men’s and women’s speed men’s and women’s lead  
    • I never thought I'd see the day Italy had a 30-medal and 10-gold edition of the Winter Olympics, so there are probably too many to choose from.   Brignone winning the Super G, because to me that was the story of the Games from a human standpoint.   Lollobrigida winning the 3000 meters, because it was the most jaw-dropping performance for me, as everybody — herself included— was saying she had a very rough preparation for the Olympics.   The 1-2 in the men's skicross, because it was the one race in which I got to taste the excitement of gradually realizing that something unbelievable is about to happen. That's probably why the first moment that comes to mind when I think of that race is not the final, but the quarterfinal in which the Italians eliminated Howden.   If I have to choose just one moment, I'll go with those 3 hours on Sunday February 15th in which I saw Federico Pellegrino realize his dream of a relay medal, then Federica Brignone win the giant slalom, and finally Lisa Vittozzi win the first ever Italian gold in biathlon, with a silver medal in snowboard in the middle.
