2021 World Championships in Flanders - Time Trials

[Samamba]

That Spanish guy in the junior TT right now deserves a DSQ

 

[Faserr]

Draft of the year by the spanish junior.

Gear limitations make this look rather strange, on this flat course with a tailwind.

Just dumb on a parcours like this. They're riding with completely unrealistic RPMs

 

[Jagartrott]

Ventoux Froome on speed.

It's probably way more taxing on their aerobic system than just riding a bigger gear on a course like that.

Uijtdebroecks only 4th atm, but with his recent injury (muscle tear after finding a burlgar on the roof of his house during the night) one couldn't expect him to be at his best.

Whuuuut? He fought a burglar on the roof of his house?

No, he saw him on the roof, closed the window ran to set the alarm, that's when he tore a muscle.

A bulgar??

Suppose that's more reasonable, but slightly less awesome.

 

[Mayomaniac]

A bulgar??

No, a burglar, no idea about his nationality.

Not everyone can be as awesome as Superman Lopez, who got his nickname by fighting off criminals who tried to steal his bike and stabbed him.

 

[Mayomaniac]

The Polish guy is looking good on his bike.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Off topic a bit, but does anyone else found it really strange that Russia is allowed to have a flag and normal jerseys in this WC?!

BlueRoads was trying to kidnap him?

Aren't they only "banned" from the Olympics?

Not sure the youth ranks are IOC sanctioned.

 

[Samamba]

I am a bit surprised by Wangs time, I have a feeling he's gonna win.
Probably shouldn't be surprised tho. Its a WC TT and he's Danish so

 

[RedheadDane]

Polish guy: I have a puncture! ... Nevermind, going again.

Because the Danes didn't ride the EC, we didn't really know how well they would do here.
Bévort beat Wang at the NC, but it was the other way around last year.

Wangs other results don't look that special tho.

Wind speeds changed apparently, explains a lot why riders now are struggling to get into the top 10 even.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yup, a lot less tailwind.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Was there a problem with Bonetto's bike right at the start?

 

[Samamba]

I dislike the fact that there's like 30 random riders that aren't any good between the first group of favorites and the second group. Second group doesn't stand a chance today because there's no tailwind anymore.
