Where's the men's road race been waiting for months

UPLOAD THE MEN'S FULL RACE! ARE WE GOING TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE YOU UPLOAD IT???

Me too. Probably the race that excites me the most.

Sadly, it is a one-off

@@Quintendejong123 Nothing wrong with that - That way she will be remembered for ever

@@Quintendejong123 That makes it all the more special.

@@kenavr break wins are rare indeed

@@SchinniNobody What makes it even funnier is that Marlen Reusser (SUI) told the Netherland's women that Anna Kiesenhofer is still in the lead! The reply was: "Anna who?" 😍

Wearing a mask on the podium at the award ceremony is nonsense. this is re-education this is a step to the NWO

I am only afraid this was a one-off, as it happened too often in the past. One Olympic title, but nothing even close to that before and after.

Hasn't Christoph Strasser won it, he broke the world record for the longest ridden in 24 hours the magical barrier of 1000km plus he's just won the Transcontinental Race across Europe. He's also the past multiple winner of the Race Across America.

@@bitchoflivingblah he won it as well, i also think a tennis player won it at some point and a fencer as well

Actually, although there are definitely a few exceptions, “Get out in front and stay there” almost never wins. If nothing else the amount of energy expended in riding alone or in a small breakaway (supposedly about 30% more energy) means that by the end of the race the relatively well-rested peloton riders have little trouble in bringing the breakaway back, and most often the longer the breakaway stays out ahead before being caught, the more likely they’ll finish behind the entire peloton. The only reason that it worked on this day was because the peloton let the breakaway get so far ahead, and because they had lost track of how many were in that breakaway - it appears that only roughly half the riders knew that there were three riders up the road in the later stages of this race. By your theory the five riders in the real breakaway at the start (two other pairs - Chile and Paraguay, and Ethiopia and Eritrea - also jumped out from the peloton but faded early) should have finished at the top of the standings, yet two - Oberholzer (South Africa) and Looser (Namibia) - “got out front” but were caught by the middle of the race and didn’t even finish, while Shapira (Israel) and Plichta (Poland) also “ got out front” and made it to the finish but were caught by the peloton on the track and fished 24th and 27th respectively (out of 31 official finishers). They got out in front and stayed in front, yet barely finished… Kiesenhofer is an exceptional rider - her success is mostly in time trials (although at the time she was also the defending Austrian national road race champion) so she was well suited to riding alone, and on this day conditions and circumstances favored her. But as a rule, getting out front mostly gets you a little TV coverage - “ fifteen minutes of fame” - and an early return to the team bus.

thanks for you notice!

Also at 14:20 and 16:00 - she’s behind the peloton the whole time, and she stated afterwards that she doesn’t enjoy riding in the peloton.

@@mx2000I wouldnt either - too many risks for clipping, accidental or otherwise. Strategy is essential, especially with such a long, twisty, climbing and descending, technical race! Go professor!

Then at 19:20 they discuss "It's the smartest cyclist who sometimes win".

She is the best rider

Yes, indeed. And even funnier (and perhaps more impressive) that the Swiss Marlen Reusser told the Netherland's women that Anna Kiesenhofer (AUT) is still in the lead. The reply was: "Anna who?" 😜

Paris Roubaix breaks usually make it deep in the finale

​@@MusikPiratCH A time mark where that happens would be very appreciated.

@@okipienandoro5101 I think it is not seen but from some reports from after the race

yes! she is a post doc

So

@@wideawake914 so, shes not only atlethe who do nothing else .

@@KaMiSa07 if she worked in her local supermarket there would not be a mention of it.

@@wideawake914 it would probably be an even bigger deal…

Yep. Rochelle's obviously great but that dude is an effing idiot. Completely ruined the watching experience for me. After a while, watched the entire thing muted.

That was the case for the UK commentators also, in complete denial, saying there was little chance of the break staying away, they only changed their tune really late in the day. For me it adds to the magic of the race, the sheer improbability of it. The best cycling race I've ever seen men or women. And we know she's clean.

I agree - and I find it more than just strange. In fact, on several occasions during the broadcast, the male Australian announcer vasted a lot of time for either bombastic exaggerations, or to jabber about less important subjects while missing the essential ones. For instance, towards the end of the broadcast they showed a replay of Anna's two tremendous attacks (the first at the start and the decisive one with 41,5 km to go), while he kept small-talking at length about the Dutch team management's blunder who failed to inform its riders about the fact that Anna K. was up in front and won the race in style - Anna would have deserved better than that... Kind regards!

Since 18:20 , she was still at the last. But she won finally.

The day of her life. Bravo Anna Kiesenhofer (AUT). The Netherland's women didn't believe the Swiss Marlen Reusser who told them that Anna Kiesenhofer (AUT) is still in the lead. The reply was: "Anna who?" 😍

@@MusikPiratCH at which moment? Please mention the time if you can.

@@souvikgoswami5870 Unfortunately I cannot tell you any time. It was only what Marlen Reusser told in an interview. 😇

La ORIGINALIDAD de este gran deporte denominado CICLISMO... es que te PERMITE VER y apreciar los PAISAJES e infraestructura de toda la ZONA por donde transitan los ciclistas, eso es lo EXTRAORDINARIO !!!! por ello son los eventos de TOUR del CICLISMO como "tour de francia", "la vuelta a italia", etc. etc. es realizar por internet un TURISMO VIRTUAL, una forma moderna de CONOCER otros paises o culturas... saludos de Peru amigos.

Cheers, was looking for that!

Im surprised she didnt pick up on the 7 cars, motos and helicopter tracking Anna.....😉

Well this is what happens when one only uses brawns and not the brain!

Arrogance and hubris on an epic scale. Then a pathetic excuse and poor sportsmanship. Dutch shame

Hahaha

Maybe, they thought she would be a dropped rider. At that part of the race they become also rather tired and so the view narrows. As Anna stayed first behind and then escaped quickly they might just completely forgot her.

They're back again. 😉

i think several riders in peleton did know. it was just dutch that didn't know.

They assumed there would be no competition thus no need for these logistics. Can’t you see they are the greatest?
