    I wonder if it was really an attack or more the Polish and Israeli girls exploding, because they looked parked (especially Plichta).
  2. heywoodu
    I wouldn't count on the GPS too much Wouldn't be surprising if it's off by a minute or more.
  3. heywoodu
    And there is the lead group exploding.

    Camera guy telling Van Vleuten how far behind her the peloton is, she is more interested to the gap ahead: five minutes. That seems like rather unfair helping.
  5. heywoodu
    I still think Van Vleuten is the one rider who could feasibly do this in a solo. The gaps are quite big in women's cycling between the top and the riders who are sort of below the 'sub top' (like the three in the lead). They could make it, which would be pretty cool, but I doubt it.

    Van Vleuten with the first serious attack, in the ugliest style ever. Perfect Froome-imitation though.
  7. heywoodu
    The riders in the lead group are having a surprisingly good chance to actually make it.
  8. heywoodu
    Next up is Van der Breggen.
  9. heywoodu
    Van Vleuten with the next short attack, and right after that Vos is the next one. It's on
  10. heywoodu
    Much earlier attack than expected by, in this case, Vollering. Assuming the plan is to be a 'springboard' for Van der Breggen.

    Can't wait for Paris 2026

    Norsgaard crashes and teammate Van Vleuten falls down right over her bike. Van Vleuten seems to be fine, Norsgaard as well hopefully (but didn't see her yet).

    Verwijlen is such a sore loser. The kind of athlete one would rather cheer against than cheer for the flag.
  14. heywoodu
    Well, Bouwmeester

    Easy to see the Netherlands is the main country in women's cycling, as our co-commentator (a cyclist) just gave us an explanation of how to bring back a lead group: "If you're pulling in the peloton and you go faster than the lead group, you will gain time." Thank you

    Wow, we had a live two minutes of canoe slalom on TV With 27 participants, the top-24 going to the semis and Wegman having the 2nd time in run one after thirteen athletes, I think it's going fine

    You have to try something very unusual to beat this Dutch team, unless the Dutch start riding against themselves. Luckily with Van der Breggen and Vollering they do actually have a regular team duo, but for example Van der Breggen and Van Vleuten are in no way expected to help each other

    Eritrea and Ethiopia together in the chase, that's cool

    Szilágyi What a legend! Yes I'm late, just had time to watch yesterday's finals now
  20. heywoodu
    And there is the Japanese guy with the super highly valued last run
  21. heywoodu
    Oh well, that's simply important nowadays I'm starting to try and look down less on those things, especially since literally every 'generation' looks down and ridicules the things of the younger 'generation' and will continue to do so. The TikTok generation of today will look with just as much ridicule to the things that the children born today will find interesting and fun when they're 15-20
  22. heywoodu
    Too bad. If this remains Olympic, it wouldn't be surprising (or wrong) if that gets changed, like in snowboarding or freestyle skiing.
  23. heywoodu
    It is quite surprising they're not using helmets here by the way. Quite surprising for the untrained eye, that is.
  24. heywoodu
    Is that little or what?
  25. heywoodu
    How does the final work?
