BTW - does anybody has start times for tomorrow time trial? Can't find it anywhere. I think it really wouldn't hurt UCI to let us know in like less then 24 hrs before...

This cycling afficionado's banner translates to something like "Welcome to Tour de Crap" and it really sums up everything about this race.

Is there something wrong with him? No strava activities since like 02.04. He's been updating all his rides very scrupulously, but suddenly there is a gap...

In last year's WC ITT he did something like 383W IIRC, so it's great to see he's still improving. What's really impressing is that he seems to lose way less power than other guys do in Time Trial position, and this position is among most extreme in World Tour (forehead below buttocks, and...

Well, when I reminisce Dolomites I think I know why hardly nobody in Italy wants to waste his time for pan flat rides;)

Only 9 participants in Polish ITT today, 2 of whom do not even currently compete on paid level (Marcin Białobłocki though was once 9th in WC back in his pro days). I guess it was due to ridiculously long course - 51km :eek:. I don't even bother mentioning who won for this time, because I...
