A race more backloaded into the later laps than the Men's race at least - but some great battles, and can't argue with Kopecky as the winner!

Kopecky was excellent today, as was Chabbey. Another great race on a realy intriguing and deceptively challening course.
I've really really enjoyed these combo Worlds. And it's been really easy to get my friends to turn it on and enjoy something new as well. The overall excitement ahd hype across disciplines has been awesome. As i said the other day, shame we won't get such a festival of cycling again, despite it being so obviously beneficial the sport of cycling as a whole.

yes, it was actually good to see all together, but....multidisciplinary riders were quite damaged by it. it should be planned in a better way
Who are you refering to here? I mean Kopecky got 3x gold 1x bronze out of the 4 races she was in.
kopecky was ok, but Ganna had to skip RR as pidcock did. VdP skipped short track, some other track races were potentially overlying to men RR, mixed relay too...
Well there's a difference between choosing to skip for fitness reasons and being forced to skip due to bad planning. IIRC Kopecky had 3 races in 4 days at the track, but chose to do it anyway. When it comes to the big names, there should be no overlaps, but you can't give them a week rest either.
Pidcock only rode 2 events I think and same with Mathieu, skipping a 3rd event to focus on the other 2. That's pretty much the same as riders skipping the TTT/mixed relay in earlier editions to save energy. I'm not sure about Ganna as I don't really follow him.
