2021 World Championships in Flanders - Time Trials

[Mayomaniac]

Remco seems to be very strong today. Not that I don't want him to win, I don't want to endure the hype if he wins...

No worries, that's not Ganna happen.

I think the national federations will generally just borrow equipment from the various pro teams.
For example; I think you can be sure that the Kazakhstan riders are using equipment from Astana.

Ahh yes, missed the fact that EF is an American team. Thanks

Bulens on RTBF while the picture was showing Remco doing 55km/h "he's still relatively fast"...

The Danish commentator didn’t notice that Evenepoel had dropped his bottle. And he didn’t see it in the replay either. What a hopeless substitute.

What an incredibly tone-deaf comment.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Walscheid smashed the final part, to me it looks like he took it a bit easier between the first and 2nd time check so that he still had sonething left in the tank for the final.

 

[glassmoon]

Remco for the medal

 

[F_Cance]

Remco for the medal

as long as it is not the golden one

 

[RedheadDane]

Evenepoel just smashing Bissegger's (brief) new best time.

 

[Red Rick]

Feels like Evenepoels time could literally be anywhere from winning to like 4th.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

No worries, that's not Ganna happen.

I hope it does happen so we are going to have less puns.

 

[BlueRoads]

That was one top ride by Evenepoel... we will see what it's worth when van Aert, Ganna and Küng are through.

 

[tobydawq]

No Dennis on the start list? What in the world?

 

[RedheadDane]

I hope it does happen so we are going to have less puns.

Time to figure out some puns based on "Remco" or "Evenepoel".

You can never have too many puns!

 

[roundabout]

I wonder if Cattaneo should have been selected

 

[BlueRoads]

No Dennis on the start list? What in the world?

Yeah... the Australians are the new Danes

 

[roundabout]

ok, Asgreen has a camera and I guess the last 3 will also have them, maybe

I really can't see why so many journalists have put Pogi as a favourite next to Ganna, Remco etc. TdF TT is a totally different thing than a WC one. Especially when the route is this flat.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hayter 4s behind Remco?

 

[Red Rick]

Hayter 4s behind Remco?

Evenepoel haters might all become Hayters today

 

[KZD]

Feels like Evenepoels time could literally be anywhere from winning to like 4th.

I am almost sure that he will podium today given how much time he put on Bissegger and the rest. But maybe the last three are on a great day.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I wonder if Cattaneo should have been selected

I doubt that he'd been much better in a flat TT and Sobrero did win the NC. That said, Sobrero is clearly not in his late Giro and post Giro shape, maybe they should have send him to the hillier Olympic TT alongside Ganna...

 

[Netserk]

No Dennis on the start list? What in the world?

[A wild Slowpoke has appeared]

 

[Mayomaniac]

I hope it does happen so we are going to have less puns.

All jokes aside, at least on of Ganna, Küng or van Aert should probably beat him.
Hayter is a bit of a surprise, but that only spices things up.

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna doesn't even look his usual mildly amused. He looks dead serious.

 

[Red Rick]

Tony Martin with a great 1st split.
