Bleep1673 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 What a cracking race yesterday Junior Time trials were, both winners had problems to overcome, when the Junior Womens leader took a wrong turn, and had to back up, and the Men's winner had to change his bike at the first corner, then got stuck behind a team car. At half-way he was 30 seconds behind, and came back to win by just over 7 seconds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/cycling/49798283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glossop saint Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Sounds like the weather is causing trouble today. They have had to delay the Women's TT, and Hayley Simmonds (the British rider) is not happy at all judging by her interview just then. I went on Saturday to watch the para event. It was a really good day and great event. Probably not the strongest of fields but still nice to see plenty of British success and some fantastic crowds though I'm not entirely sure that they knew what they were watching.

I bet he ended up smelling a lot better than I did and it looked like he lost a lot less skin. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.

Ullman Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Very impressive performance by Rohan Dennis in yesterday's men's elite TT and once again the 19 year old Belgian Remco Evenepoel caught the eye with second place. So good he's skipped the under 23s race and gone straight to the elite competition. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.

Bleep1673 Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 The winner of the Mens U23 Road Race got DQed because he crashed, then slipstreamed a team car to get back into the peloton, meaning GB won a second Bronze medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie RL Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Ethan Haytor top 10 in the time trial yesterday. He is a new name to me these past few months. Seems to be a genuine talent. Not sure if Tom Pidock is in the road race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you might well know, Hayter was just pipped at the death by Wout van Aert on the final stage of the Tour of Britain. Anybody who gets within six seconds of van Aert in anything has got to be taken seriously. Haven't seen the line-ups for tomorrow yet but I know Tom Pidcock was down to ride the road race. Not that you'd know it but he's been carrying a knee injury all year and plans to ride the World Championships then get it sorted. "I'm from a fishing family.

Futtocks Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 My only gripe is that the once-thrilling Keirin races have become so sanitised and dull, they are hardly worth watching any more.

Less than two weeks after winning the British individual time trial championship in Lincolnshire. What a year he's having. His younger brother Leo looks like he might be one to watch too. He won the under 23 ITT on the same day as Ethan won the elite title. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.
