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.

To be fair, Switzerland with a male dream team and a very strong female team is in no way an unexpected winner, and Italy with silver can hardly be called surprising as well :p

Can someone tell the TV directors we don't need to see a full minute of coastline pictures every 2 kilometers in the deciding stages of a world championships race? We've seen the same thing roughly 75 times now, it's been enough.

 

And today it's fantastic weather for a race like this, but during the men's race tomorrow it will be all dry. Life is unfair :p

Main riders back together after a strong group of five has been caught, but now Marlen Reusser is on the attack with 11k to go. Big question is how she'll go up Mt Pleasant, but otherwise she can be incredibly hard to catch.

This will be the first world championships (women) without a Dutch medal since 2014, and only the second since 2005 :d

Almost getting caught by a group, and there's another group behind them. Super tense race :cheer:

Oh wow, what an insane attack by Van Vleuten with her broken elbow in the last kilometer, without even standing up, straight to the world title :hyper::hyper:

:sure:
 

But yeah, even at the start of the last km, I would have placed a serious bet on no Dutch rider finishing in the top 10 today, and then this happens.  

 

What a crazy finish and once again, what an amazing season for Van Vleuten. :thumbup:

    • has 2 wins already  Not bad for complete minnows!
    • Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever. 
    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup
