I'm just gonna jump in here and make a name-based prediction:
The winner of the Belgian Elite Men's ITT will have an "aert" in his name!

The big question is whether the V will be capital or not.

Does anyone know if the British road race is on TV? Eurosport seemed to have a lot last year but are only showing the French this year and live on E2. ITV don't seem to be showing it either but I gather schedules change/youtube perhaps?

Pretty sure it won't be on Eurosport. Sounds like it'll be livestreamed on the British Cycling youtube page, or something similar...

Unfortunately, between us we have a name-based prediction success rate of... exactly 0%! :p

Dutch women's ITT was essentially the World's, except Van Dijk and Van Der Breggen got switched around.
Also, Van Vleuten won with 1:35.

DAMMIT! That was a name-based prediction that would've been quite easy to make! Someone with a 'Van' in her name winning the Dutch ITT!

van Aert already pushed the biggest numbers two years ago, when he became 6th, but because he didn't have the best bike and because he wasn't aerodynamic enough, that didn't translate to a better result. Since moving to Jumbo Visma, they have worked a lot on his position, and he now has a better bike. To me, he's a clear favorite. I wouldn't be surprised if he simply crushes Campy & Lampy.

A bit disappointed that Langeveld didn't win. He has been in a very good form this year but didn't have the luck for it to reflect in his results.

KLM airline decided to liven up the extremely predictable Irish ITT by losing Ryan Mullen’s bike. It’s possible that he won’t win if he has to ride a child’s bmx. For good measure, UPS simultaneously lost his road bike.

Hirschi is being quite impressive as a 20yo neo-pro for Sunweb. Already an excellent climber and time trialist. He's the Swiss version of Pogacar, but somehow he's being kept under the radar.

And don't forget his top 10 in E3 Harelbeke of all races.

Pretty good day for the Barnes sisters over in the UK, with Alice winning and Hannah getting third.
Hayley Simmonds took care of second place.

Maybe his potential is up there, and he is definitely riding a strong first year, but his results this year certainly do not compare to those of Pogacar.

The wind in the Belgian NC ITT (close to the coast) is hammering the riders from left to right. Wellens just got his *** handed to him.
Any link?

Livestream on Sporza, don't know if geoblocked. You can try with a VPN if so.

EDIT: https://tiz-cycling.live
Really great battle going on between Evenepoel, Van Aert, Campenaerts, and Lampaert right now.

Campenaerts very disappointing.. Remco mighty impressive, barely 10" behind Van Aert after 26km.

Campenaerts far behind at the checkpoint; the other three were within 10 seconds of each other, with Van Aert the fastest.

Campenaerts won't make the podium. The race too much.

2nd intermediate:

Van Aert
Lampaert +5
Evenepoel +10

Campenaerts almost certainly out of the podium. It really shows the huge level of these championships.
