If Campenaerts would have won ahead of Ganna he'd have gotten a lot of heat in Italy. In Italy altitude tents are banned for athletes, so people would have called it an unfair advantage or even cheating.

That's some great math right thereWhat are you talking about?
Asgreen is at +60 at 14.9 k
WvA is at +46 at 14.9 k
= 24 seconds
Asgreen is at +47 at the finish
WvA is at +26 at the finish
= 21 seconds
I agree with you, but Remco isn't here.
If we're going to claim Evenepoel would've won every race he was supposed to participate in from now until whenever he's coming back, it'll get annoying very fast.
Its looks like a change of the old guard of Dennis, Dumoulin, Campenaerts.
That's what I would think.Surely Ganna was on a Pinarello also?
Apparently the EC doesn't matter to Zinoviev just because.
That's not the point. People have been correcting you as soon as you started posting your calculation, yet you didn't even bother checking whether your hasty calculation was off, or not. You just assumed you knew best and kept insisting. So you were convinced for two hours you were right, and now that it dawned on you that you weren't, it's "just because of a hasty calculation" of which you were so sure that it wasn't hasty or sloppy that you had to keep insisting others were wrong.
Only if they make that a universal rule for all riders in all topics. That would deliver us from the usual BS in races where Evenepoel does compete but "it doesn't count because rider A, or B or C isn't competing". We could delete 25 pages of the first 30 pages of the Il Lombardia topic.
Was this due to the wind, or because of Ganna?
Well he didn't, he finished 8th, so clearly the altitude tent doesn't give him any advantage.If Campenaerts would have won ahead of Ganna he'd have gotten a lot of heat in Italy. In Italy altitude tents are banned for athletes, so people would have called it an unfair advantage or even cheating.

Ganna knocked the signs over. Remco would have obliterated them. Normally I have little interest in tt. As a maths lecturer, I've found this thread amusing.That's not the point.

Faster than a speeding bullet, faster than the speed of sound. Remco, come back, it's not right without you around.As a maths lecturer, can you tell me what time Remco did the second half in?
sorry, I was being silly, hence theSurely Ganna was on a Pinarello also?
Are you aware that you will get much more respect from co-contributors if you apologise for a mistake, and act with a little humility?Glad to report your opinion is of no consequence to me
"I warmed up on a different bike and then I got to my race bike and it wasn't there. People were running around looking for it… No idea. Someone *** up, but that's the way it goes," Thomas shrugged.
what happened to attention to detail/marginal gains?This week in bad excuses, Thomas lost his Garmin before the start.
Geraint Thomas left to rue missing Garmin after fourth-place finish in Worlds time trial
'Someone *** up, but that's the way it goes'www.cyclingnews.com
I'm not going to say that that someone was you, Geraint, but...
Yeah, actually, it sounds like that someone was you.
It's pretty obvious Ganna paid attention to detail.what happened to attention to detail/marginal gains?
Compare & contrast:
- Last week Pogacar ditches his Garmin to win the TdF ITT
- This week Thomas ditches his Garmin and whines in fourth
clinic talkIt's very hard to ignore the massive leap Ganna has made the last 6 months.
There's also a common perception of Italian bikes as being pretty, but Pinarello really do their level best to buck both trends.Men's time trial results: Italy wins overall and 4 out of the top 5 bikes.
Pretty incredible given that there's a common perception of Italian bikes as being technologically deficient.
Somewhere, a relieved mechanic is making his/her way off a ledge . . . and/or no more risk of house/apartment being vandalized by crazed fans . . . unless they paid no attention to this forum.Neal Rogers

Confirmed with USA Cycling's Jim Miller that Dygert's TT crash was not due to puncture or other mechanical issue. She took corner too hot, in aerobars. "She had a speed wobble going into the turn and wasn’t able to regain control. There was not a mechanical issue." #Imola2020
