Uci youtube channel total pants for another year ! Its meant to be available for the world at least once a year fir 1 day.

Tony Martin retiring after the World champs.

@pacef8 if it helps it's on BBC2

Hayter 3 seconds down from Evenepoel at the first check point which is promising.

(Sorry not sure why I managed to tag you in that.)

New bibs for WvA after that corner!

Got the gcn app running 👍

Fucking hell Wout

Ganna less that a second behind WVA

Perfectly measured by Ganna, unreal effort by Wout though and Remco getting on the podium. Good to see Tony Martin put in a great performance as well.

Tony Martin will be missed

enjoy the retirement, tone

WVA is gonna get marked into oblivion and come second again this weekend isn't he?

Hopefully Remco can provide the perfect foil to that

If he behaves himself

Ineos on disc brakes. They will still crash.

UCI YouTube use to show full track days on top of the highlights for world championship events. I’m going way back. London 2012 YouTube coverage as well for all disciplines.

If one were going to the road race in person, any thoughts on where to view it?

One of the cobbled climbs .

Yo, I'm heading over this evening and staying in Tervuren with Adam Cotterell (who loves Flanders so much he may as well work for the Tourist Board). I'll let you know our plans!

Normally at a Worlds you can view the race from a few different spots on the circuit. But it’s a lot harder this year as the circuit is so complicated.

The climbs are always busy, but the moves go over the top normally, so watching from just beyond the top can be good. Your best bet is to find a bar or cafe with a decent screen, so you can catch the finish.

I lived in Tervuren for a few months.

No way! Got any local tips?

For what, riding? Or eating and drinking?

It was twenty odd years ago, so I imagine any place I can vaguely remember is likely to have changed since. Good place to ride a bike though, have some great memories of riding around the lanes between there and Overijse and down towards Wavre.

Yeah, riding. I guess some of the Brabanste Pijl route?

Cycling in Flanders has some nice routes https://www.cyclinginflanders.cc/routes/map
Don't know how accessible the climbs will be during the worlds this week.
