2021 Trentino European Championships 8-12 September

[TourOfSardinia]

Shame the camera was shy of Kung flying

 

[Mayomaniac]

The Swiss bossed the 2nd part, Küng gained 10sec on freaking Ganna!

 

[broppo]

damn kung paid out like x 25

 

[Netserk]

I think the different pacing for Bissegger might be down to wind.

Or maybe just the Swiss way?

I would have liked to see more images of Küng on the route, that was one impressive second half.

 

[Red Rick]

King Kung does it.

 

[glassmoon]

Season saved for Kung. Chapeau!

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar back to being an overrated ITTer again?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Season saved for Kung. Chapeau!

Just wait for Roubaix!

King Kung does it.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Fair play to Carlton Kirby for calling a Kung victory after a negative split.
Broken clocks etc

Anyway what a thrilling ITT. Didn't expect Remco to go so well.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Thought the Gannon had it in the bag, but what a split by Küng.

Pogacar back to being an overrated ITTer again?

Oh dear.

 

[Valanga]

Pogacar back to being an overrated ITTer again?

Yup, till next TdF's TT where he'll gain around a minute on Kung.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pogacar back to being an overrated ITTer again?

Back to the coalmines with him.

 

[Rackham]

Pogacar back to being an overrated ITTer again?

Same as he was in the Slovenian national TT before the Tour (when Tratnik clobbered him on a similar flat parcours).

 

[Bonimenier]

TT's are really exciting lately. Quite some guys who have the potential to win, so hard to predict.

 

[Wvv]

Proud of my homeboy Rune too. 13th, not far from Almeida and Pogacar. Well done!

 

[Big Doopie]

I was 25 meters from the finish line. That was awesome.

waiting on the podium ceremony.

Great performance by Kung, who beat Ganna. This was a bit unexpected as the course (length and profile) seemed perfect for the Italian. Good performance by Remco as well, he was not far off. I was wondering before the stage if Ganna is able to pass Pogi. He managed to do it. Regardless of the profile it was a rather poor showing by the Slovenian, who clearly has looked out of form since the Olympics.

The view of the mountains didn't help Pogi as the route was flat like a table. Adige valley is hot, flat and wide and tourist often go via it on their way to cooler, high elavation Dolomite valleys.

 

[noob]

Ganna passing Pog was a fun sight. The whole race was fun, even if I wished Ganna to take it because it's his home country. Happy for Küng!

Yeah, at least Trento is not as hot as Bolzano/Bozen, the valley basin makes the heat even worse there. I remember being in Bozen with 40°C, screw that!

I don't understand how come Küng doesn't make it in GT ITT, or other ITT in races this summer and then he goes on to smash Ganna. Is he not very consistent?

 

[Mayomaniac]

On the bright sight, Ganna did better than at the NC where he was only 4th, looks like he's on the right track for the WC ITT.

Maybe his recovery is not that great. From what I know he also dislikes the heat, but that's the same for Ganna, who has a history of underperforming in TTs in the heat.

He was there in the first TT in France. Just one superman faster.
For the second TT he probably lost too much of his capabilities during the rest of the tour...

His Olympic TT was also up there with the very best. But also yet another Slovenian superman ;-)
