Pezcyclingnews: Eurotrash Road Champs Monday!

The big story has to be the World Championships in Richmond, they were great! All the race reports, results, quotes and video here in EuroTrash Monday. Also we have news from Ivan Basso, Tour de France Saitama Criterium, Amgen Tour of California, new and confirmed contracts and sponsors. But the man of the day has to be Peter Sagan.TOP STORY: Was it a Good Worlds’15?I would say a big yes! There were many who said the circuit would not cause much of a race, it had been described as ‘a big kermess’ or ‘Flanders lite’ by some Belgians, but the cobbled climbs brought the race to life every lap and you could see by the reactions from the spectators that they were loving it. In places there were no spectators or were a bit thin on the ground and the course wasn’t too picturesque where the race passed under the motorway sections. You do need some gaps in the crowd for the riders ‘call of nature’ so that’s a good thing. The only criticism would be the quality of the TV camera work, the stationary cameras were great, but some of the moto work cold have been much better and maybe due to the high buildings the picture would freeze or was lost all together, luckily we saw the attack from Peter Sagan.Worthy winners? Again a big Yes to all of them, from the time trials to the road races, all deserving winners. Well done Richmond.World Championships 2015Peter Sagan (Slovakia)...
