Huh? It was like infinitely better than the last two? Still not really good for a Worlds race though.
Best race this weekend was the U23 IMO. Women's was pretty predictable.

Very impressive by Grivko, he was the one bringing Nibali back after his crash.

Isn't it all pretty predictable?
In the U23 someone from the Eastern Block, no one ever heard about wins.
In the womens elite race Marianne Vos wins.
In the mens TT Tony Martin wins.
In the mens Elite, Spain throws away the gold medal, by racing eachother.
Seems like a pretty standard WC overall

Predictable, but still very good. The U-23 indeed was the best, Mohoric was so awesome.

I meant worse than the other races in Florence (such as the Womens Elite and Mens Junior), rather than 2011 and 2012 Worlds which were indeed also sh*t
Ah, I misread it then. Completely agree.

If you post more than X dancing bananas the forum crashes.
It's happened a few times, cactus jack wants the bananas gone. And he's right.
You're jjust saying that because you hate happiness too!  |

He's considered a big talent, winning the Junior WC last year

Allright, sorry then, didn't really look like it, but it's the internet I guess
Also, on an other note, Kelderman finished the race

I don't want to think about what you would have done if he had won, with how happy you are about that... |

Well, I wouldn't crash the forum, don't worry.
I think I'd rush to the Stat Discussion thread

Top 50 for Nechita. I'd say that's pretty good for someone who doesn't even ride in the top 3 "divisions"

Yeah, and he was actually holding on to the group for a long time, which is good.
Though to be fair, only 61 people finished. On the other hand, that he does manage to ride it out without becoming last is quite impressive...
