[Tinnekeisabella]

Does anyone know the starting times tomorrow?

Does anyone know the starting times tomorrow?

First to start at half past two, everybody to finish by the tea time.

Modest wind forecast.
Definitely a day for the powerhouses.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Belgian assasins ready for an all-out assault:

It's time to look for some good shelter!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Italy vs Belgium vs Switzerland. Those 3 nations will probably place 6, maybe even 7 riders inside the top 10 tomorrow.

 

[motty89]

My prediction:

1. WVA
2. Ganna
3. Evenepoel

Training for track worlds not the perfect prep for ganna otherwise he'd be my favourite.

Poor Khalil Amjad.

 

[Ricco']

Poor Khalil Amjad.

He's fine. Bjerg, Bissegger, Evenepoel and Affini will leave first than him.

 

[BlueRoads]

He's fine. Bjerg, Bissegger, Evenepoel and Affini will leave first than him.

But I doubt he'll get any screen time.

 

[Bonimenier]

Poor Khalil Amjad.

The guy starting after him was last on 28 mins in 2019 so he might not get caught by him.

 

[Bonimenier]

But I doubt he'll get any screen time.

When Affini finishes Khalil Amjad will probably still have to ride 20+ mins so there is a window for screen time.

[ciranda]

So Benjamin Thomas will be caught by Bjerg and then those two will be caught by Bissegger and then those three will be caught by Evenepoel.

 

[solo80k]

Hard to look behind Ganna, WVA, Kung, and maybe Pog...

Not sure about catching others, but on the long straight sections, it's quite likely he can target some of them.

 

[greyclouds]

Poor Khalil Amjad.

I really dont understand that lineup order...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I don't know if this belongs here or not, but former Danish cyclist and current cycling commentator Chris Anker Sørensen had passed away after being hit by a car during a training/reckon ride in Belgium :-(

 

[Wvv]

Terrible, terrible news.

 

[yaco]

Having the ITT before the RR should always be the template - Olympics please take note.

 

[glassmoon]

Terrible, terrible news.

Very sad indeed... but that CN article title is just...

[hayneplane]

My prediction:

1. WVA
2. Ganna
3. Evenepoel

Training for track worlds not the perfect prep for ganna otherwise he'd be my favourite.

Would surely think he prioritised track for the Olympics but will have put the Road Worlds above the Track Worlds given their relative prestige and profile.

 

[hayneplane]

Odd looking timesheet - fully stacked from 48 to 43 with great TT riders who will all occupy the hot seat for a long time if they win that block yet then a 30+ series of riders unlikely to get near the top 10 overall.

Is it purely down to logistics putting big gaps between the riders whose country have two entries with their being only one team car to cover both riders.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Sobrero will start 2nd, probably the first bench mark, then you have Walscheid before one of the Remco-Affini-Bissegger group will probably take the hot seat for a long time.
Will the wind be the same for the whole duration of the TT?

 

[Savant12]

Top Ganna to win but if he lacks the need for speed then WVA to take it.
