World Road Championships

Did you get a chance to watch the end of the World Road Championships this morning? The organizers made a pretty good course with the final selection coming at the very end. Pretty good finish. I think it is so interesting watching the dynamics within the country teams compared to trade teams. I think the rain made a huge difference, taking risks on the final descent reaped huge rewards. Kwiatkowsk made his move on a descent, held it up the climb and railed the final descent to maintain his gap. Here’s the last few kilometers. Like I said, pretty good finish. Universal Sports sure jacked up the end of their coverage, not showing the final podium. This is the only shot of the jersey presentation. Kind of anticlimatical.

Pretty boring race compared to last year’s event.

Paul sounds horrible, and he interupts a lot.

The BBC also did not show the podium ceremony, choosing instead to talk about Bradley Wiggins, Ben Swift and Wiggins’s victory in the time trial (on Wednesday).

Next year all of us will get the chance to go to the World Championships in Richmond, VA. Have you made your hotel reservation yet?

What’s with the UCI thug pulling at him interfering with his team celebration. I know he has to go for his oiss test but give me a break let the young man have a few seconds.
