Women Madison World Champion - Belgium 🇧🇪 What a incredible and tactical race from Lotte Kopecky and Shari Bossuyt 🌈🥇 #SQY2022
Belgium's team of Lotte Kopecky and Shari Bossuyt have been crowned Women's Madison World Champions in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines at the UCI Track World Championships.
Always one of the more chaotic track races, there was an early disruption due to a broken light which meant the back straight was covered in darkness and after a couple of crashes the riders were called off the track and the race was brought to a halt. After a short break the racing was back underway.
With the French team delighting the home crowd by taking an early lead picking up consistently good points from the sprints. Belgium though came from nowhere, taking a lap and 2 sprints in the process giving themselves 30 points and putting them in the gold medal position.
Amongst all the chaos of the final few laps there was a horrific crash with Great Britain and New Zealand going down very hard. The scoreboard initially gave France the 10 points for the final sprint and with it victory sending the home crowd into a euphoric celebration. However they had seemingly not realised Denmark were up the track and once the scoreboard had been adjusted accordingly there was an audible sigh in the Vélodrome National apart from the Belgian contingent as the were crowned world champions with the French taking silver and Denmark bronze.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
