Did Victor Campanaerts not win in the Namibian TT championship or something similar a few years ago?

I guess if you pay your subs and are a member of the national federation, you are entitled to take part in the event, but not to be eligible for the title. I think I remember Bialblockski (haven't looked up the spelling, probably wayyy off) taking part in the GB TT event.

I think Bialoblocki only took part in the RTCC National Championships, which (unlike British Cycling) allow participation based on residency. Campenaerts won as a guest starter in Namibia indeed, but didn't make the official result.

UCI rules say "Participation in national championships shall be regulated by the respective national federations. Only riders who hold the nationality of the country for the purposes of the present regulations may compete for the title of national champion and the relevant points", so I guess this generally would allow participation for foreigners, if it says so in the national regulations.

Edit: found the Austrian rules as well:

"An den Nationalen Meisterschaften (ÖSTM/ÖM EZF [...]) dürfen auch ausländische Rennfahrer:innen teilnehmen, sind aber nicht wertungsberechtigt"

So in the time trial, foreigners can start, but are not wertungsberechtigt, which is a bureaucratical term I struggle to translate. I don't think he should be in the result.

Any updates on the Spanish TT chaos?

Thanks to about 3 users there are more posts about a Danish time trial competition here, than most French semi classics this season got

Nothing escapes us when it comes to Danish cycling, no matter how hard we may try.

apparently problem was that the timing system didn't take into account the different starting intervals for the final participants. So the initial results for the final 10 starters were based on an incorrect starting time

Nesrine Houili won the women algerian championship rr with over 23 minutes ahead of the second...

There are Spanish riders who still don't have their official time.

Sounds like the craziest Spanish time trial since the infamous 1981 Vuelta

52.1 kph by Mads Pedersen on a distance of 41 k. That's not bad, is it?

Oh, no. I am in fact at home, sitting very still.

(I try not be on my phone when I'm walking around; the risk of walking into stuff is just too high...)

Meanwhile, I quite like Norsgaard's reaction to "only" finishing 3rd in the Women's Elite race.
Basically saying that she just didn't have the legs, and that it's actually quite nice that it's no longer possible for her to just win despite having a bad day.
And remember, we are talking about the woman who once won the Elite Road Race when she was 16... says something about how far Danish women's cycling has come...

163 hm on 40.9k / 0.4% avg climb I personally regard as "severely flattish" compared to my usual 0.9-1.3% avg training routes. Which advocates for high average speeds.

However, almost all altitude was gained within first 5k or so, out of Nr. Sundby, moreover Vendsyssel is usually quite windy and generally different weather compared to south of Limfjorden.

I was not in my old proper as of yesterday, even not been able to watch the races yet so don't know exact conditions in the north.

On a windless day in the area, without taking into account the hills at Lindholm Høje, you can really get up to speed, suitable for the airport. Here I wouldn't say avg 52.1kph @ 40.9k for pro TT riders isn't something to write home about nowadays...

But if yesterday's TT Championship has been with a mixture of the stiff northwest wind and the challenging gusts, then it is definitely a high speed.

I read a bit of Nicklas Larsen's post race interview that he didn't "feel he had enough speed" (but still #2 just 25 secs behind Mads).

To me it sounds like the mischievous constant northwest wind, which you may not notice and feels like a false flat - in that case 52.1kph avg. is surely impressive!
