World Championships Discussion (With Spoilers)
Yes, the World Championships are going on
Round up of the current news. Team Sunweb won the men's and women's TTT Bjerg wins the under 23 TT by over a minute. During that same race: McNulty’s American teammate Neilson Powless looked to be on time to vie for a medal but disaster struck at the top of the route’s primary climb, Salmon Hill. He jammed his chain, and while trying to fix it, he clipped a barrier and flipped over the handlebars. Powless still managed to finish ninth.

The Sunweb women's team was bonkers. Boels-Dolman had about a 10 second lead on the Sunweb team through the first couple checks, ended up losing by close to 15 seconds.
Absolutely flying that last third of the course. On the men's side, Team Sky looked pretty ragged their entire run. |

The UCI strikes again. In the women's Junior ITT, Emma Norsgaard of Denmark had her bike disqualified shortly before the race and had to borrow a bike. She placed 3rd in the Junior ITT at the Euro Championship recently and was one of the favorites today.
FYI, Catherine Marsal is the Danish Women's coach.

Sky TT losing Geraint Thomas on the last climb probably costs them the championship.

Van Vleuten with another dominating performance. She's killing it this year.

Pretty funny, they weren't really in the hunt for gold, with or without Thomas.

Incredible ride for Dygert-Owen in the TT... I expect good things out of her but didn't quite expect 4th!

Toughest rider of 2017 is Lauren Dolan. Holy crap.
I'll spare the images on the forum, just Google it and know you've been warned. To finish a TT course with injuries like that...wow. |

No doubt. That's beyond tough and her attitude towards the whole incident shows maturity beyond her years.

That is one tough 18 year old! Hats off and hoping she has a speedy recovery. Horrible crash, thank god her injuries weren't worse. Can't imagine what her parents must have felt, were surely watching their kid race on her birthday.

And she still only finished, what 2 and a half minutes down in the race. Impressive.
