Dunno if it’s been said, but wtf kind of distance is 22km for an elite-level TT championship?

Ok. I’ve been busy with work, so haven’t kept up with all the results.

It was discussed whether 60 metres would be an acceptable distance. The conclusion was a no.
But 22 kms are fine.
Everything in the range from 77 % of not only acceleration-based performance to thousands of kilometres are fine for a championship TT. Those are the rules, now.

The length was probably talked about last year and the year before as well.
Colbrelli and Vos seem like good picks here, though Sagan should never be underestimated in a championship race.
Trentin would probably also love to win on home roads. The Italian team is the strongest, but almost every other team can't rely on a sprint, so they will have to attack. The French team is very suited at doing exactly that, before Evenepoel takes over with 50 km to go
In the women's race it will depend on how early the selection is made. The Dutch team will probably attack all over the place, and if one of them gets a gap, either solo or in the right group, she will probably win. Kopecky shouldn't be underestimated either though, if she is up there at the finish.

So Vlad from the Cannibal Team... sounds rather creepy. I'm thinking about the team's HQ in old castle somewhere in the Romania.

If i were a betting man, i would have made a lot of money. Couldn't understand Wielerflits didn't even give him one star, while they should definitely know him (unlike non-Dutch speaking media). He can climb well enough and he's lightning fast in a sprint.

The 3rd of the junior race Lenny Martinez just recently climbed the Mtf in the Giro della Lunigiana 49sec faster than Pogi back in 2016 when he won the race, that's a lot on a 15min climb.

That looks like 2016 climbing vs 2021 climbing to me. Also I imagine junior times vary extremely wildly.
Wasn't Ayuso literally faster than Bernal on some Giro climb?
