2021 World Championships in Flanders - Time Trials

Wang wins, done deal

 

[Samu Cuenca]

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.

Wang crashed on the ITT in Course de la Paix, which could have given us a better idea about his level, but of course the tailwind makes a huge difference here.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, it has to be the wind, all the top guys are loosing a lot of time.

Bevort is still coming back from some health issues and he came in third a moment ago.

 

[Samamba]

I think the wind direction has changed a bit so

Well yeah Bevort and Segaert are doing a good job, but they would be challenging for the win if the wind didn't change.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bonetto lost a lot less time in the 2nd half of the TT.

 

[Mayomaniac]

That was really close for the 3rd place!

 

[Samamba]

The guy who started 2nd ends in 2nd, a bit strange

 

[RedheadDane]

Segaert squeezes onto the podium.

First Danish Junior TT World Champ in 10 years.

 

[Wvv]

Apparently the tailwind dropped quite a lot.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wang is speaking English like a proper Dane He's not saying fantastisk like Kron though.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Not sure the youth ranks are IOC sanctioned.

Yeah, that makes sense.

 

[sir fly]

Doesn't look Chinese at all.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bonetto lost 13sec in the second part, so he was only 3 slower than Segaert on that part. A good TT for him.

Scandinavia[edit]
Wang is also an unrelated surname in Sweden and Norway. It is a variant spelling of the name Vang which is derived from the Old Norse word vangr, meaning field or meadow.

So, he's got Swedish and/or Norwegian ancestry?

reports, it actually dropped a bit. Do think Wang would've won anyways tho but I think we would've gotten more of a fight for the win.

Another photo that pretends to be about a cycling podium but is actually material for the barber shop.
Or is it for the casting of a high school movie? The handsome dude all the girls run to, the super nice guy and the weird friend with the weird jokes...
I know I'm mean, it's just not the best photo you could take of Segaert. After already not having the best wind?

By the way I'm really disappointed, I had hoped Wang has some Chinese anchestors.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe, I don't know, but it's probably just a mistake that Denmark isn't listed as well.

Wang also does CX, so we know he's a future star!

It's a Battle of Curls between Wang and Segaert.

Tarling looks like the frontman of a pop/rock band.
