I would’ve thought that it would be every man for himself in the Olympics.
Do they give team awards as well as individual?
Renco is too selfish and too young to work with anyone. And without financial obligations maybe others riders will put up with his BS.
Chris, why some teams have more riders than others?
Jorgensen Gold, Paederson Silver, Evenepoel Bronze. USA🥇
Will riders trade teams have much, if any, influence?
But how does Ecuador only have one spot? Narvaez is going to UAE btw. Can't beat em, buy em 😅
I’m looking forward to the chaos 😎🚴♂️💥🤣
Will be nice to see Teams collaborate like they used to in the old days. Although they'll probably not do this and ride their teams all across the road (colour order as commentators describe it as) and burn out at 100km. Would be nice to see the old arrowhead of the peloton with 3-4 teams working together like the old days before marginal gains came in :p Think it was a neurotic Cadel Evan at BMC who started having the Team surrounding their riders.
If reading your explanation on teams based on UCI points why did Ecuador send only one rider when they have two good riders snd one was the defending champion?
Maybe an enterprising country would hack their Garmins or Wahoos or their own computer to receive text messages and would send orders and updates to show up on the screens of their riders. Or have them wear smart watches and get texts to them.
Be like worlds other year when Remco goes early and would marks vdp . Play the numbers because stuyven is flying to and if racing for himself could win this race. If they don't race against vdp he will beat them. Can't wait. Narvarz racing for Ecuador outside shot if on giro form. Would be incredible if Ecuador go back to back Tokyo and Paris. Allaphilipe is good outside so is mads and not sure if cort is racing but he'd be good on this route. Thanks Chris!!!
It’ll be more like an amateur race
Minus the Belgians: Mads Pedersen, Jasper Stuyven (yeah Belgian), Derek Gee?? Grosschartner, dare I say Biniam?? Laporte (no, not this year), Madouas. Sad that Carapaz is not defending
Off course it is all about power. With power, you can win even with bad tactics. Without power, no tactics will give you a win. Best doping program (=power) wins!
Remco working for wout, that won't happen.
Cheering for Wout. MVDP maybe with a 60km attack
It shocking that Slovenia doesn’t have the worlds two best riders. Makes it much less interesting
Breakaway team gonna win medals especially lesser favourites
give 5 seconds to Remco on the flat, and he's ribedebie for good. Tiesj to control together with UK and Denmark. Evenepoel to be on every move from 80k left to go. Let Jasper stay with Van Aert and if Remco gets caught after all, he can ride on the flat behind MVP when he goes on the hills.
I’m sure it will be a CX rider that wins this. Now that Poggy isn’t here, that leaves only 3 CX prospects, realistically. I think MVDP will do it, but WVA and Pidcock are likely to be on a mission in order to impress Redbull and get lucrative contracts.
Jasper stuyven has won san remo so he definitely can ride 250 km
Great analysis, however I was a little underwhelmed by Matteo Jorgenson at the Tour. I'm not saying he didn't make the best of a bad situation, but I feel he should have been there later in stages when UAE had Yates and Almeida still there with Pog and Jorgenson had been dropped long before Pog made his attack. He is still young and still growing as a rider, and sometimes Visma didn't have anyone else to help Jonas, but I was still a little disappointed with him as I felt he needed to be there alongside Jonas to bury himself with one last push for Jonas to pull back Pog and he just wasn't there. So I'm slightly confused as to why you think he had such a great Tour.
Lets go Pidcock for the double gold baby
Mads P. will win, so why worry about it.
Don’t sleep on Madis Mihkels
There's much more going on in the Olympic road race, riders riding for their country team mates…& if thats not working out, their regular season team mates.
..plus no radios, no d.s imput. Can't wait 😊
With such small teams, any riders hitting the front in the first 200kms will be waving goodbye to their chances of a win, plus be burning matches for any other team mates.
Sitting in, saving energy & following the wheels for most of the race, will be the only recipe for a win…Guaranteed.
With 40-50km left and Remco is still fresh… Once he get some length.. no one is catching him if he goes solo.
Would love to see loulou win though…🇨🇵
Remco for the double
I hate te say it because i love to see him race and win but i think you're overestimating Wout van Aert. In the 230+ races he has shown to be a bit less compared to other riders and i would place him next to a on form Dylan van Baarle
It is something completely different than what cycling fans normally watch, but with many of the all-star cast we are used to seeing. Honestly, I think it will be fun. Fun enough to get up in the middle of the night, no. But I won't mind watching a recording pretending I got up.
Does the whole team get a medal? Or just the top 3 riders?
BRING ON THE CHAOS
fix racing ! njoylife
The belgian team alreddy told they not gonna do all the work allone ! And by the way, in time Wout and Remco became friends …. It will all depends of the race situation. If 1 team would go all the way 50% of the peleton will be gone. if somme european teams would work together they will blow 70% away;
For sure Remco will ride for Wout and vice versa + they have 2 subtoppers in there team. Btw france will always ride …. If Jasper stuyven is in the frontgroup he will do 0 work ! !
if tiesj benoit is in the frontgroup he will do also 0 work ! Think about it Chris 😉
The fench will ALWAYS take the initiative , its a homematch for them
Mads Pedersen will win.
