RR World Champs

Taxuser1 · 21-09-2018 10:36am

Eddie Dunbar isn't riding the TT, McDunphy is. Lot of talk about who merited a place on the team, the case of Darnell Moore went to appeal and Trulock is really going well. two lads flying right now didn't even get a look in because they stayed domestic

The 2 Junior girls both have a real chance of a medal with luck IMO. There are proper climbers in the Junior boys as well. I didn't think it was a decent Junior year until the results started flying in after the Leaving cert. If I had been selecting there are 2 or 3 other lads who were worthy of selection but no doubt it's a strong team. Cannot understand why the junior champ isn't on the team though, he's going as well as the A1s and has proven himself throughout the season.

We qualified 6 for the Mens RR, shame we haven't even taken our full allotment!

I didn't know that. Why are we not taking 6 riders??

1/100 Seán Kelly to mangle every rider's surname.

Adam Ward really is a strange case. How he wasn't selected for the junior team is beyond me.

Start lists (up to date, hopefully) for all nations available on http://www.uci.org/road/events/2018-uci-road-world-championships-tirol-innsbruck

Sunweb for the mens and likely womens too in the TTT tomorrow. Though BMC will have a thing or two to say in the mens.

How cool is the Canyon kit. Loving the socks and discs.

23-09-2018 10:38am

Wow they emptied themselves there and the whole team home.

Canyon SRAM are the women's TTT champs. If you like the kit, see if you can find a video of any of their run, they went all out on the colours and coordination!

CCC Sprandi Polkowice rode surprisingly well, I'd say. :eek:

You can usually get men's versions of that jersey quite cheap in the Rapha sale

Had half an eye on the Jr. Women TT and half heard on commentary that they are restricted in their gearing. Something I wasn't aware of, so what ratio are they restricted to?

All I could find was "Junior riders must ride restricted gears. The maximum gear ratio authorised is that which gives a distance covered per pedal revolution of 7.93 metres" what does that translate to in terms of ratio? 54/11 etc?

Better not mention the women's racing as it reads in the title this thread is for the men's race only!

by sheldon brown 7.93 would equate to a 53 x 13 on 700 x 25 tyres. that seems very big to me? I thought juniors were restricted more. i know i was as a junior, something like 52 x 15

seems closer to the mark for me

52 x 14 which is what i thought it actually was is 7.93

Dutch rider, Britt Knaven, rode Pinarello TT bike with SKY lettering and Australian colours. That very one:

99% sure it's Richie Porte's 2015 bike. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Her Da is probably Servais (Sky DS)

24-09-2018 3:12pm

Was on the phone for a while what happened the British lad there? he ran on to the ramp and hopped on the bike and away with him, last minute wee and missed his start?
