having said that haussler has reached hayman level of underdog so maybe

if it had been early april, and haussler was just coming off a hard CX season and the early classics... maybe. he's not been showing much lately though, as far as I can recall, so don't fancy his chances really though he'd be a popular winner

It is raining Sunday. Winner will be +75kg

Edit: or a CX racer

😜

Don't discard chunky boy Mads P. or Asgreen! They both had a WC that needs rectifying

Ja, aber.

Politt is a contender.
I am really really excited to be watching this on Sunday. I can hardly sleep

I am glad the organisation split the different l'Eroica distances over two days meaning my ride will be this Saturday instead of Sunday :) ...now to decide whether I should try and watch it in a bar in Gaiole or stay at the apartment to not miss a minute of it

Joss Lowden going for the hour record today at 4pm, live on GCN and Eurosport.

Hour records can be a really compelling watch, especially if it is close.

Edit: live on YouTube too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxCGdh9izdU

is it a good watch on turbo?

I would have thought so!

Docker deserves an honourable mention. No chance of winning but it’s his favourite race – the fact punctuates his every sentence – and last one before retirement.

Do an hour FTP test at the same time?

No one's talking Sagan. Is he finished? He has the experience to win this.

(Is he even racing it?)

He's thinking of racing gravel isn't he?

Get in Alejandro!

and Are Joss is off!

Such a shame there is no one there to cheer her on, is it a COVID thing or lack of interest?

Go Joss...

I think it's a cost thing! Would cost more to hire out the stands and get in stewards etc

I've been thinking this could be where he heads next

I was at Yvonne McGregor’s successful attempt in 199-something and I think there were about 30 spectators there.

48.406 - new record!

Superb effort. Chapeau Joss.

Mainly down to the Le Col skinsuit, right?
