Very impressive win(s) from the 19-year old. She also got a silver in the U23 TT friday.

Strong winds in Denmark (Women's road race today):

It's quite impressive. When Tony Martin won the Worlds TT in Copenhagen 2011, his average speed was 51.8 kmh. The course was a little bit longer though: 46.4 km. But the most impressive fact is that the top 6 of the 2025 Danish nationals all had a faster average speed than Bradley Wiggins - the...

I took few photos in Copenhagen:

I really enjoyed the TT. The early rain actually provided for some great shots, and the scenery around the steep ramp was amazing. This and the 1st stage was the only ones I saw as I'm on vacation with my family who don't all share my interest in cycling (and races). Here are a few shots from...

I took a few photos approximately 30 km into stage 1. Unfortunately it was quite dark and cloudy - it had been raining the entire night and morning.

Reina = Queen? How appropriate!

The Danish national coach gives an explanation here (in Danish): https://sport.tv2.dk/cykling/2022-09-08-landstraener-forklarer-mystisk-soeren-kragh-situation Basically the Canadian races were planned a long time ago and it was always the plan that he should ride them. But he's totally out of...

WVA rode the last section 18 seconds faster than Ganna (who was the fastest until Wout).

Interesting standings at T1. It's a 40 km TT and the last leg is quite tough (~42 km/h for Ganna on this section). So the entire TT needs to be paced properly.

Schachmann was almost as fast as Ganna on the last leg (from T3 to finish) .

Timings from T1 to T2 (as 85 riders have passed T2): 1 Ganna 12'49" 2 Politt 12'52" 3 Cattaneo 12'56" 4 Tratnik 13'01" 5 Bjerg 13'12" 6 Wright 13"12

I can confirm as stated by others that it's the max weight of a truck through the little bridge leftwards below the bicycle bridge. There's another sign (angled differently, so less visible on the photo) that says 32 t. This is the maximum total weight of a truck with trailer.

Tony Martin managed 51.8 kmh at the 2011 Copenhagen Worlds TT on a course which took them through some similar parts of the inner city. It wasn't too technical (as evidenced by the average speed) but still had some tricky sections. I remember Cancellara crashing, for instance. The length was...

The profile of these final 13 km seems quite similar to the regular Aprica ascent (which by the way they won't ride on stage 16 as they're riding Mortirolo in opposite direction). Aprica is usually not categorized iirc but it's certainly not easy after a tough day. Basso/Gibo pops up in my memory.
