Hey Bridie, u23W would have more than the 51 starters if they had their own race. I'm sure some nations don't enter or not field full team because it's mixed. The Elite has a big influence on the race #sbscycling#couchpeloton#zurich2024@Bridie_OD@gracieelvin@mwkeenan
@GuillaumeWatt Muzic(FDJ) & Realini(Trek) both had their own purpose to get into the top 5 on GC.
Muzic moved up 5 places to finish 4th & Realini up by 7 to be 5th on GC
That's racing.
@medicinexthings The crash was 5-6km from the finish, the race was on. The lead bunch are not stopping. SDW certainly made an error not calling their riders back for Demi, but also for whatever reason Demi hoped on her bike and rolled off past her team car as the Mech was out with a bike for her.
@PeterStuart3@Cyclingnewsfeed Probably for the TV coverage as well I'd think?
@SBSSportau any comparison numbers from your coverage tonight?
Anyone who didn't watch it missed one of the greatest race finishes ever.
@jesusjonesband Can you believe the UCI fined Bernard as well π³π€ the quote I read as a reason was "unseemly or inappropriate behaviour during the race & damage to the image of the sport"
He stopped to kiss his wife and embrace his family.
Seriously damage??? Quite the opposite in reality.
@HansenAdam I hope this is a wake-up call for driver race rules. With so many support vehicles & amount of crashes, there should be a more stringent rules, the driver is to be driving only & not for talking, handing/receiving items. Both women were extremely lucky to not to go under the car.
@jesusjonesband Absolutely. Have to agree with the others Spiral, Stripped, Idiot Stare & I'm going add Your Crusade. All with volume π such a good album.
