Lost for words.

 

[RedheadDane]

Look at that young guy!

 

[Breh]

A 21 year-old and a 20-year old on the first two spots!

A 20-year old and a 43-year old on the first two spots.

Oscar Sevilla could actually be his dad.

 

[KZD]

More than 1 minute advantage to Sevilla and almost 1:30min to Oliveira in 15.5km.
Absolutely mental.

 

[Big Doopie]

say what you want about the competition, he absolutely demolished the course.

and there are 3 TTs in the giro.

just saying.

 

[tobydawq]

Okay, but second is a 43-year-old non-specialist.

It's not Roglic he's beating by minutes (though, he did do that at Worlds).

 

[sir fly]

What are Evenepoels targets this season?
Giro and the Olympics?
I can imagine him going for all three Grand Tours, Olympics and Worlds 4 years from now and on.

 

[Wvv]

Oscar Sevilla could actually be his dad.

Don't be silly. He's obviously the son of Zeus.

 

[klintE]

No comment...

 

[Big Doopie]

and he will only get better.

Spectacular from Remco. Oliveira and Bodnar have a long history of being very decent world level riders against the clock but he made them look average.

will be interesting to see what the 4K pursuit world record holder Ganna can do

 

[Wvv]

47,3 km/h, with a few kilometres properly climbing, on a non-tt road bike... Well ok.

 

[hayneplane]

Okay, but second is a 43-year-old non-specialist.

It's not Roglic he's beating by minutes (though, he did do that at Worlds).

Current 3rd and 4th have a lot of strong time trial performances between them throughout their careers.

 

[Bonimenier]

Okay, but second is a 43-year-old non-specialist.

It's not Roglic he's beating by minutes (though, he did do that at Worlds).

More than a minute on very good TTers like Bodnar and Oliveira still is crazy. Bodnar did win a TT in the TDF in 2017.

 

[Big Doopie]

there was a climb.

he demolished even the climbers on the climb.

he reminds me of hinault.

only better.

 

[Poursuivant]

Special talent.

 

[sir fly]

Anybody familiar with the region's biosphere?
I presume there are endemic floral varieties similar to Australian endemic fauna.
(Not similar one to another... similar pattern of diversity).

 

[Joelsim]

Ganna +13 at the punto

 

[sir fly]

Found it!

About 30,000 species of vascular plants live in the Andes, with roughly half being endemic to the region, surpassing the diversity of any other hotspot

[Big Doopie]

Ganna +13 at the punto

i would be surprised if he finishes less than 30 - 40 seconds down. remco motored up the hill. ganna not so much.

 

[Wvv]

32" seconds for Ganna, not bad against that alien.

 

[sir fly]

32" seconds for Ganna, not bad against that alien.

Maybe it's just about the target...

 

[Akuryo]

Ganna +13 at the punto

And more than 30 at the finish.

Easy now.
