Mas attacked in the final km, but took a wrong turn at a roundabout with in his wheel Romo and McNulty.
Grégoire could profit of their mistake by taking the right way at that roundabout.

Second time this happens this season. What is going on?  :o

There was a motorbike with a camera in front of Mas after taking the wrong turn, so I would blame the organisers this time. If the motorbike was supposed to take that turn and separate from the cyclists, they should have made it clearer for the cyclists that they shouldn't follow the camera bike.

Hahaha just for the race I had decided to take a risk and pick more sprinters than most people  ;D

Good news that they are adding more races. Maybe the lack of races at the end of last season was just a temporary issue.

Que sepáis que sigo actualizando el primer mensaje de este hilo a la vez que el canal de discord.

Hoy ha sido batido un record que merece especial mención ya que difícilmente será batido de nuevo:

- Valerio Martin (22 años, etapa 16)

record previo era de:

- Arnfinn Mikalsen (22 años, etapa 42)

Just so you know, I keep updating these at the same time than the chat channel.

Today a record was beaten that deserves a mention because I don't think it will ever get beaten again:

- Valerio Martin (22 yo, stage 16)

previously held by:

- Arnfinn Mikalsen (22 yo, stage 42)

Thanks Vos for the update! Congrats to Vos and Mitte for the really strong season and see you (hopefully) next season!

Congrats Mlb! It was close, just 9 points behind you (and Vos 8 points behind me). Don't worry, I'll win the jersey next year with the WC in Kigali, Rwanda. I am the king of Tour du Rwanda (2x, tied with Animatoca but I win due to the most recent victory  :P), so I'll use all my knowledge about the Mur de Kigali.

By the way, next year women U23 will have a separate race, so hopefully there will be 6x races in the WC jersey game.

I noticed there are only 4 left in the games calendar in WCS, skipping the three World Tour category races in China, plus many .Pro races. Are the admins just not keen on the season end or should we worry?

I just realised that winning the women's race is absolutely worthless with only two races this year :D

Well, if they skipped the elite TTs, no doubt they will skip any u23 races. It looks very much like it's going to be just the two that are already on the schedule. I guess the admins are fed up with the season already  :-\

Interestingly, the TTs were not even in the races calendar (including those without games), where they have a lot of races including 2.2, 1.2 and u23. It's worrisome. Are they on holidays? Is it the end of WCS?

I did not see this race with, to me, unexpected results and surprising GC shifts. Maybe the race profile was different as I thought.

It was a gamble at the end. Everyone against Van der Poel. Van der Poel didn't have any helpers (3 of them had to abandon on stage 1), so when the hills came at the end (short but steep), everyone was trying to attack (Hirschi and Vansevenant the most insistent) and Van der Poel kind of trying to tackle every attack. The lucky attack was the one of the quartet (Gaudu, Tiberi, Simmons, Jegat) for which Van der Poel didn't have any remaining strenght/didn't estimate them dangerous enough. After they took some gap, of course no one wanted to pull behind (only Hirschi for UAE, Ayuso was struggling and fell behind in a third group which eventually caught the VdP/Hirschi/Vansevenant group). On the final hill, VdP attacked, followed by Pedersen, but the front group was already too far away.

Are they really not going to add the TT WCs?  :(

Arnfinn Mikalsen looses his bronze medal record  :o The new wonderkid is for sale just now! Not cheap though.

It wasn't much of a sprint considering that both of them ride for the same team  :P. They both celebrated and Kasia gave Neve the win because she had better GC position.

It seems WCS still gave points on the stage 5 of Dauphiné (GC points I think). Winner was Vlominck.
