2021 World Championships in Flanders - Time Trials

[Mayomaniac]

Top Ganna still the maverick.

He's got the need, the need for speed!
Gutted for Asgreen, I hope he'll unleash hell next sunday, or even better in 2 weeks...

Pogacar 10th is honestly remarkable, Ganna didnt even look surprised much less tired in the finish

 

[Vroome.exe]

They look like they could do a second lap

Flashbacks to Roglic in Olympics and Pogacar in TdF. Winning riders always look the freshest somehow.

4th time that Van Aert is second racing for Belgium in big Championships. He really has no luck.

Well, it was a Ganna course more than Wout track.
Having the splits certainly helped pacing the pursuit.
Great ride from Remco too.
Expected a better time by Kung.

Nice dash.

Van Aert's fourth consecutive silver medal in World Championship events.

 

[Bonimenier]

Poor last section from WVA - either that or Ganna flew the last part

Ganna flew. Van Aert had the second best time of everyone from T2 to finish.

 

[BlueRoads]

Ganna didn't look as relaxed as usual throughout the whole day... must really have put a lot of pressure on himself.

Andy Murray of cycling you can't change my mind.

The italians got really good this year at snatching World Championships from home crowd favorites at the last moment.

They did get a taste of their own medicine over in Italy last week.

Ganna never lost that loving feeling.
Would have been nice to see Asgreen on the podium, particularly today.

 

[KZD]

Ganna was extraordinary today unlike other track riders his ability to time trial doesn't fade in longer distances.

Alaphilippe winning his TT in the Tour is probably an even better example of that.

Great ride guys!

Tom Dumoulin showing his Dutchness by calling himself a small boy.

Now, he's just being silly!

Cancellara and Sagan mixed into one.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Surprise of the day is Tony Martin imho.

Way more than that if you include cross. Of course he also has wins there.

While it's a surprise Hayter is the bigger one to me.

 

[Nirvana]

Congratulations Filippo.

What i told you last week?

Next year without the track hindering him he'll be even better (and he'll also get his climbing legs back).

 

[Krzysztof_O]

When Evenepoel ended his TT (having ridden a very strong middle part) I thought it would be enough for the podium but didn't know which place. Soon afterwards it was clear that the big boys were even better. The TT, completely flat and including long straights, turned out to be perfect for huge engines. Emotions to the very end! I was supporting Wout but he got silver again! Eternal second at main events. Ganna started a bit slower but gained speed during the course so congrats to him. No surprises on the podium but Kung weaker than expected. TT legend Panzerwagen 6th - good performance at the end of career. Pog in top10, somewhat better performance than at the EU TT.

Looked like some nutter jumped the barriers when Ganna was finishing.

 

[Gigs_98]

Gotta say, that was a pretty entertaining TT. Really happy for Ganna and Remco though I do feel for Wout a bit. A TT gold medal would really add a lot to his palmares.
