A World Championship in the Cathedral of Cycling: Flandres. Not the Tour the Flandres route with the 'Muur', 'Koppenberg' and 'Oude Kwaremont'. Try to pronounce that correctly! It's a route more to the east, heading for Leuven or: Louvain in French. But I suggest you stick to the Dutch spelling and pronunciation. It's not really an area where people want to be addressed in French...
Luckily the F1 in Russia will start one hour earlier due to the time difference, so plenty of time to see the final stretch of the World Championship!

I think that all 'Flandriens' are packed alongside the route! The interest for this WC is phenomenal - and with Wout van Aert as one of the favorites, they're right to come and see for themselves. Must say that I hope that MvdP will win (bad back, so not really a big chance of success).
Julian Allaphillipe wearing a $120,000 Richard Mille in the worlds today !!!
it was/is probably a dummy one? I'm sure I have seen reference to it and its always showing the same time.. He probably has a real one as well though!Originally Posted by higham5
great race and a great champion - i was glad he won as he went on the attack a few times..
Apparently he was “ given one” in June of this year. Something to do with Decuinick Quickstep sponsorship. Im a cyclist and I have a fair few watches, and I never wear a watch when cycling.
He absolutely deserved that win, I watched him in the Tour of Britain three weeks ago , he was hungry then. WVA must be feeling pi$$ed as he two disciplines time trials and sprinting have been denied in this world round.
Fantastic to see Tom Pidcock get a 6th as the saying goes watch this space.

Cracking race. I love watching Alaphillpe race he is such an attacking rider and definitely deserved the win. WVA was a bit too defensive, although that’s easy to say from an armchair when you haven’t cycled 260k at such a pace!
Cheers, Shaun
