Continental Championships

The final event! The best European riders are gathered here today to battle for the prestige award of being crowned best European Road Rider! Let us begin!

Continental Championships - European Road Race Event

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv01_zps2f5d6b73.jpg

And we're off! The breakaway has been decisive in both of the previous road races. Will the peloton dare to let them ride far today?

Strangely we see the largest breakaway group yet! 14 men lead the race and get almost 9 minutes on the peloton.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv02_zpsaaadcc08.jpg

The peloton chased but gained too little ground.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv03_zpsa327af64.jpg

And then Zdenek Stybar put himself at the front. The breakaway gap went from 3 minutes to 2 and finally to 1.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv04_zps85c83921.jpg

An attack! Valverde and Gilbert seem strong today!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv05_zpse2671c9a.jpg

But not strong enough, as the peloton catches up with them again.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv06_zpsaf32219c.jpg

The breakaway could feel the peloton's breath now!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv07_zpsf139525a.jpg

And then the peloton split up when the favorites pooled their forces together and went looking for the breakaway on their own.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv08_zps96a4dc85.jpg

Valverde was definitely keen on this title, you could see by the effort he took.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv09_zps6dc4380e.jpg

But it happened, the group of favorites and the breakaway of the day smelted together into one big group.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv10_zps6ee0e80a.jpg

The final climb of the Cauberg now. Cancellara, Gilbert and Valverde create a small gap.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv12_zps49d8aa5c.jpg

Valverde had wasted too much energy during the race. The sprint for the win was between Cancellara and Gilbert!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv13_zps7d5e879d.jpg

Gilbert took the lead and was heading for the victory here!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/wcv14_zpscb0764d9.jpg

But Fabian Cancellara had a final punch in him and overtook the Belgian not more than 3 meters before the line. By far the most exciting race of all 6 Championships.

And so these Continental Championships come to an end. We've seen dominating victories and close calls, we've seen real glory and defeat. I'm grateful to have been given the chance to be your guest reporter for these Championships and hopefully I'll see you somewhere in the future Wink

Uhh, 4th. Sad
Still, Dan showing a lot of good signs and all. Smile
And two medals is still good, wished one would have been golden though. Wink

Oh FFS Gilbert. Sad

I don't get much luck, do I?

And surprise, surprise, no Van Avermaet in the results. :lol:
Any idea on withdrawals, Ian Butler? I'm guessing young Dermot Walker didn't make it.

Another decent ride from Belkin, too bad we end without medals.

Anyway, thank you very much for the reports Ian, it was nice to have you Wink
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Thanks for some good reports. Happy enough with Antón finishing 6th on this last one even though I would have preferred to see him a bit more in front instead of always leading the 2nd group...

About the withdrawels: there were 192 entrants and 174 finishers. I guess there were quite some withdrawels, but during the race I was on x8 for quite a while (until the final 3 laps, rather boring before that) so I guess I must've missed it. Though there were some flat tires, but since there were 18 withdrawels, I guess it was a group caught behind and having the PCM bug that nobody wanted to ride Wink

Nice fighting spirit by Valverde although he wanted too much too early Smile
