Took their chance when the favourites failed to perform.
Mind you the top 3 did have some form and Kiryienka has medaled before.
What do you reckon will happen in the Road races?
One for the sprinters?

Flanders types by the looks of it, and some of the tougher Ardennes-y chaps.
I think the length and bumpiness of the course ought to make it very hard for the 'pure' fast boys to make it to the finale, plus the relative difficulty of holding World Champs races together. Only really about 4 of them on the start list anyway, really.
On the lasses side it's a great course for Armitstead, but I think she'll need a couple of her team mates to step up if she's not gonna be isolated at the sharp end, or else she'll have to be very canny about it, anyway. The Dutch team ought to rename themselves the Harlem Globretrotters (GEDDIT?), and there's a couple of others that aren't far behind.

Thought she'd bollocked that when she missed the group that went inside ~20k to go. Chapeau.
Blokes will have to go some to beat that last couple of laps for entertainment.

Finally comes out on top!
The relief and delight was so clear to see from Sagan.

I'll probably catch it around Settle. Also hoping to get over for Tour of Flanders a few weeks before hand.
In other news, my bike has been stolen. No insurance. Gutting.

Disappointing news - hopefully just a one off in British cycling.

It's innarrestin, innit, how this gets picked up by the mainstream press, but his initial win obviously wasn't. Sky Sports News are always good for a TOUR OF TURKEY CHAMP TESTS POSITIVE on the ol' yellow ticker, when the initial result would not have been deemed newsworthy.

That'll make him about 5th in line on his own team.
Given that he'll be turning 31 a couple of weeks later it's a shame he didn't have the same thought a few years back. Easy to second guess but this is surely a more likely use of his talents than chasing GC unicorns (cc. Geraint Thomas....).

I realise that this picture was posted ages ago but some of those spectators seem a little bit too excited about witnessing a big smash.

Ok, I do this one - www.pdcvds.com but it's not open for sign ups for next year yet. Starts at Omloop usually.
What's the one you do TimeyWimey?

Scary crash yesterday in San Luis has left Malori in an induced coma, and now some of the Giant team wiped out by a car on a training ride with several injured and Degenkolb in a fairly bad way, by the sounds of it. Grim.

Still not much info on it, apparently Degenkolb with serious cuts and Haga with a broken hip which, whilst terrible isn't as bad as it sounds it could have been. Incidentally happened on the road where I stayed last summer, not the widest and a few blind bends but by no means unable to accommodate cyclists. Somehow doesn't surprise me it's reported to be a British motorist as the cause.
