2023 World Championships
Artesa de Segre, Spain


i.imgur.com/bGSyHoA.jpeg


For the conclusion of the 2023 season, the best of the best come together to compete for one of the most prestigeous accolades in cycling: the title of World Champion. It will be a long and difficult day in the saddle, tackling the foothills of the Pyrénées in a circuit around Catalunya. Although it was Lukasz WISNIOWSKI who took the win in Torfeno Branishte, the last time the race was officially categorised as mountainous, the grimpeurs got their revenge on the famous Nordschleife. There, in 2020, it was Silvio HERKLOTZ who secured the rainbow bands. He is back to give it another go, but the likes of Lachlan MORTON, Tim WELLENS and Justo TENORIO failed to make their respective national selections so they'll have to enjoy the action from their living rooms, watching alongside the rest of us! Who then are the favourites?

Obviously the five categorised ascents on this year's parcour will be vital in determining the victor. First is the Castell de Fontlonga, whose official classification of 4.5km @ 5.34% does not include similarly difficult slopes in the immediate prelude. Still, neither it nor the Coll de Comiols (19.5km @ 3.3%) or Mas Santmarc (11km @ 3.5%) are likely to be decisive for anything other than thinning the herd. Instead it is the Coll de Bóixols (13.5km @ 5.5%) and an ascent of another face of the Coll de Comiols (9.5km @ 4.7%) that will really shake things up. There are still ~20km of descending leading into ~20km of rugged terrain - including a short and sharp unclassified climb - before the riders make it to the finish. A solo victory can only come from a candidate that can combine the abilities of a grimpeur, a rouleur, and a descender.

The first question that will be asked of the riders will be about their ability to tackle the positive gradients. Only once they have surpassed that hurdle can we look to their other qualities. So, who comes to mind when we talk about the best climber in the world? The aforementioned HERKLOTZ. It is obviously impossible to discount the former world champion, especially when he has won every race he has entered this year, adding La Vuelta and Il Lombardia to his palmarès. That Il Lombardia win is especially noteworthy as it came from a reduced sprint against the world's best puncheurs, including Jan HIRT and Miguel Angel LOPEZ who are outsiders here.

His biggest competitor might be the indomitable Taylor PHINNEY. Aside from his absolute dominance of the ITT World Championship, the second most important facet of PHINNEY is that he has the best sprint of the top climbers. The absent Joseph DOMBROWSKI will be sorely missed though, PHINNEY might well need to lean on Ryan EASTMAN and Brandon McNULTY given his struggles this year. He cracked in Liechtenstein, was beaten by HERKLOTZ in Scandinavia and lost the Tour to our next favourite: Pierre-Henri LECUISINIER.

LECUISINIER was the runner-up to HERKLOTZ's 2020 victory, so will doubtlessly be chomping at the bit to get his revenge. As already mentioned, the Frenchman saw off PHINNEY to secure his home race for the second time. He also won in Indonesia and Colombia but those victories came against inferior opposition. In Liechtenstein, which seems to have been something of a beacon for our favourites, he was unable to keep up with the insatiable German monster that is HERKLOTZ. In fact, he was relegated to the final step on the podium.

The man doing that relegating was Merhawi KUDUS. No African has ever podiumed in the Elite Road Race, let alone secured the rainbow jersey. What better candidate to change that than the two-time continental champion ('17 & '21).

Of course, the elite road race isn't the only event on the calendar. We start out with the B road race, where William CHIARELLO will need to be at his best to reproduce his dominance in this year's Continental Tour. Going up against the likes of Chen SHIKAI, Ki Ho CHOI and Orluis AULAR is no easy feat; but my pick to qualify for the Elite competition is Louis MEINTJES. The undeniable king of the ITT is Taylor Phinney, although the likes of Marlen ZMORKA and Mads WÜRTZ will be hoping that time is finally catching up with him. We'll also get to see the stars of the future duke it out in the U23 competitions and see which nation can produce the best combination against the clock.

An absolutely fantastic preview post! Looking forward to seeing some SEE Turtles in the U23 races and to domestique a bit in the TTT/B Race.

A shame not to see Areruya here as I he'd have to be a favorite. Looking forward to some fascinating racing.

Super annoyed about it but nobody to blame but myself. Must have not hit "Post Reply" and ended up closing the tab because I would have put my entire bank account on having posted it Angry Deadlines are deadlines and I should have double checked Frown

Thanks for the preview lief, would love a Kudus or Lopez victory here - the latter would be especially nice as the puncheurs haven't won one since 2017!

Thank you for the fantastic preview!

First time ever we have a legit shot at a medal here for Skjelmose with the mountain course (I don't count the B Worlds since it's really a preliminary). Can't expect lightning to strike twice and I'm happy with l'Avenir, so expect a Plapp victory here. But a medal would be awesome and one more "first" for our team, 10 years in. Let's do it!

Edit: Forgot Forssell got the ITT Silver last year. Embarassed Guess we'll need gold for a first after all!

Thanks for the great preview.

Not sure the ITT/TTT profile has been posted so here it is:

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2023/Reports/Others/WC/ittprofile.jpg


Also a huge thanks to Tamijo for our custom built course.

Hope to post the first race around this time tomorrow and then every other day thereafter. All of them are done except the main event, happy to give that up if another reporter is feeling it. But otherwise should be able to knock that out sometime before it is due to be posted.

Very excited to see how the races play out on such a course! With Aker eyes, I think the B race might be the most exciting, to see how Japan do the potential double leadership with Kinoshita and Amezawa. Hoping they don’t block each other via how AI races.

A couple of very long shots in the U23 race, and it'll be cool to support O;Connor and Canty on the Aussie teams. As always the Worlds should be fun.

Thanks for the great preview! I think Meintjes might have a shot at the B race, though there's fierce competition. Looking forward to the reports!

Nice report, looking forward to seeing how the Africans do throughout the week Smile

Looks like a really nice route that can be won in a bunch of different ways, so hopefully the following races will be just as exciting.

Really fun race, at first glance it looks like the route delivers what we had hoped for. Great report as well, Mr. Reporter of the Year Wink

Since only first place really matters, which was always going to be a longshot, I don't mind Meintjes and Ndayisenga fading out of the Top 5 and Top 10. The latter especially was a positive surprise for me, I didn't expect to be cheering for him with a chance to win it in the final 3km. Cool to see Hadi active with an attack, too.

Finally, congrats ember. the fantastic season just keeps on going Grin Wouldn't rule Amezawa out for the elite race, either!

Brilliant race, brilliant report!

And what a win that was for Amezawa Grin Thought, and maybe feared, he was going to play second fiddle to Kinoshita when the latter was active relatively early in the finale, but then Amezawa showed he was attentive, alert, and also aggressive at the right times. Massive to see him hold on in the sprint and claim the B title. Also really great work from the Japanese team, taking responsibility early, which makes it even better to see Amezawa run away with it in the end. Definitely looking forward to the elite RR as well now. We suddenly got a slight, slight outsider to cheer extra for!

And thank you for the congratulations messages!

Great finish by Amezawa, congrats ember!
None of my three riders - a sprinter and two TTers - in this race could make an impact; only Szarka could've hoped to participate in the A Worlds if Valter had been in the Hungarian team. Without him, obviously no chance ^^

Looking forward in particular to the TT events, with plenty of riders in the TTT, and two double representations in Poland and Switzerland. Would've hoped for Brunel to get a spot in France, but Paillot and PHL sure are a strong duo.
In the A worlds, we probably only have doms this time - the three Swiss (Stüssi, Schmid, Darbellay) for Frankiny, Errazkin for Aranburu, and Masnada for Formolo.

Thanks for the opening report (and the preview, by the way), looking forward to the rest Smile
