Road Cycling at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024


Recommended Posts

Great stuff from Remco and kudos to Madouas for hanging tough. As good as it reasonably could have got for the French.

 

Broom wagon for :GBR and :NED though.

Yeah, this was bad. Evenepoel is like Van der Poel in Glasgow though: if he gets a gap, he's gone.

The guy is lucky he is Belgian, big countries have advantages, if he was from some thirdworldistan he would be out, the car must be shared with other minnows, ofc super belgium can have 2 cars and one of them right at the front of the caravane.

 

double standards

Kubiš finished the race this time and in a respectable 29th place, also the gap was not so big against the monsters of this sport.

 

Good job Lukáš :yes

Oh completely. And this is a RR, so you can never come in with expectation, only hope. I just think that not even getting a top 10 is a bit of a bad look for both nations.

 

I give you guys a bit more leeway, because MVdP clearly was trying and Dylan worked to try and bring the gap back.

 

But we have no excuse. Pidcock, maybe after his exertions in the MTB, But We were on the back foot all the way through, with the exception of Fred going in that ill fated group and he died very quickly. And I really don't see the reasoning for putting Tarling in there to trundle around in about 50th, rather than using him for the track. Just seems an odd set of tactical decisions.

    • 4  4 after 6.  Crucial match for a guaranteed semi spot.    
    • Gianluigi Buffon is gone, waiting for the Gattuso too.
    • @rafalgorka https://www.pantarhei.sk/635214-xxv-zimne-olympijske-hry-milano-cortina-2026   the SVK NOC official Milano Cortina 2026 book is out for your collection   Full of pictures, stats and as usual complete result book         
    • Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?
    • Denmark can only blame themselves for that Belarus match. A win and they'd qualify with a game to spare alas...   Gattuso has no business being a manager at this level. Italian problems come from the lack of domestic talent in Serie A but Gattuso ain't gonna fix anything.
    • Just listening to Gattuso is enough to understand that he's a simpleton.  Honor, pride, grit...but he is a coach, not a Spartan soldier. And he was surrounded by other idiots who confessed they had to buy their high school diploma. 1-0 up but down to 10 men and they are playing only counters with a lone forward with good pace (Kean, who almost scored the second) and Gattuso replaces him with a target man. Then 1-1, the team is forced to play more possession and the first thing he does is taking out a ball playing midfielder (who served a near assist just moments before) for Frattesi, who is only good in running into empty spaces to finish but always shy away from playing the ball.

    • The last time this team played well was at Euro 2021 under Mancini, but they 8 months later they lost to Macedonia at home in a 2022 World Cup qualifier play- off at home game... In my opinion, Italy Euro success was thanks to Chiellini and Bonucci's recent big form and Chiesa's tournament of a life. Without them, Italy is simply average team: the 1-4 and 0-3 group defeats to Norway wasn`t a case (under Spalletti, so a good manager, at all). Play-offs, however, are always a lottery in this format – especially when you're playing decisive matches away and also under the pressure of Italy now + Bastoni's red card episode. Such things are decisive. Take the current play-offs: Poland, Denmark and Italy could just as easily have advanced, instead of the Czech Republic, Sweden or Bosnia. Top teams simply don't have to play in these play-offs, why they avoiding the risk of defeat. In groups you have 7-8 home and away matches and no only one- last match chance away
    • Btw our coach (likely in a couple of days ex-coach as well ) Calzona, not the pizza, Italian himself, presented his 2 cents about Italian failure as well in the press conference after our useless match against Romania. Talk about how nonsensical and pointless this match was    https://sport.aktuality.sk/futbal/clanok/francesco-calzona-reakcia-na-bosna-taliansko-zaspali-sme-2026040100555755775
