Nationals road race

Anyone know if the Nationals road race is live online anywhere?

I am happy to listen to radio etc. just as long as I can hear how the race is going.

SBS have coverage from 1 or 2pm

I didn’t see it but read the results. Thoughts?

Incredible. Didn’t think it possible but what a ride !!!

196km on the front,
then slowly break the other six down and ride to a win was a great effort.

He rides like a seasoned pro and he’s only 21.
Pretty impressive, the first 3/4 of the race was like watching paint dry though

he fuckin smashed em.

last lap pain face

The race was pretty awesome, although it was easy to see that Turbo was going to take the win.

It’s amazing to see the difference between Pro-Continental and Pro-Tour riders especially when they are racing in the same race.

Each year Australia seems to be developing better riders and with the NRS etc. it’s anyone’s guess who will be the next star in Australian cycling.

It would have been good to see Mark Obrian get on the podium (he attacked towards the end and was virtual third place) although it never happened.

It was a bloody impressive ride from Durbo. One of the commentators noted his skinsuit at about the half way point, said he’d either planned for the breakaway win or wasn’t expecting to finish. I guess we know which way he’d planned now.

Really hoping he just gets better and better. With the way he rode, the one day classics should be in his sights in a few years.

The skinsuit mention during the commentary made me think of this classic story: Velominati › Defining Moments: Alexi Grewal-1984 Olympic Road Race

Durbo flipped the received wisdom on that one!

Skinsuit gotta be to offset the drag on dat chin.
I hope he goes far, seems like a good dude. Could be a Prologue/Classics specialist a la a certain someone…

+1. bona fide good dude.

Very similar ride to Jacky Bobby in 2011’.

Lets hope he doesn’t get distracted and go downhill from here.

My first thought when seeing thie thread title was “Oh! Women’s or Men’s?”. Was I the only one?

I’m pretty excited about Gracie’s potential. Interesting reading the Nicole Cooke thread (and her words), and then this one.

Speaking of the girls it was great to see my home town girl Shara Gillow kill the tt she is so bloody strong

Yah… total axe!
