The breeding policy is working well.

You take a winner of the Paris Roubaix and a British road race champion, look them in a room together and a world champion is the result...

;)

Magnus quick to point out he's the only one without a world championship medal in the family. Megan won bronze at track as a junior

I don't know tbh. He did it last year when Zoe won the road race. He got quite emotional then (obviously enough!)

I'll give Eurosport Player a listen later to check this, but I can imagine this time he wouldn't have been that emotional given that anything less than a win with at least 45+ seconds of advantage would have been underwhelming :p

It was Rob Hatch and Michael Hutchinson on comms duty overnight.

 

Whoever named the Australian state of New South Wales obviously had today's winners in mind, seeing as they hail from Pontyclun and Aberaeron if my Googling is up to snuff. ;) Though Aberaeron - on the western coast - is perhaps south Wales in the broad sense only.

Drama in the team TT - red hot favourites :NED suffer a mechanical to Mollema in the men’s leg, then van Vleuten crashes straight off the ramp in the women’s.  So going to be an unexpected winner.  
 

AvV looking in a bad way, has to race again on Saturday.

Tahiti do have a velodrome, albeit one of the old Roubaix-style ones.  But looking at the names, a few Togolese canoeists in there.

 

Well done :SUI - they were a strong team by any standards, would have been contenders.

    • Or is Girardelli respected in Austria these days...
    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for Girardelii. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
    • Stage 3 in Gurgl (AUT)   Women´s Slalom:   1. Mikaela Shiffrin    1:40.22 2. Lara Colturi    1:40.77 3. Camille Rast    1:40.79   Full Final Results HERE
