[The Hegelian]

Man, this is annoying - a week after the WC....did he get a win in the stripes?

Didn't he win in Poland?

 

[RedheadDane]

Didn't he win in Poland?

Yes he did. Beat Ackermann by sprinting early-but-not-too-early.

 

[BlueRoads]

I think Pedersen is showing his rainbow jersey was not necessarily his only one. He's still a young rider, and although circumstances were suiting him very well in Harrogate, he was not a champion by chance.

My god, they found that finish line girl interviewer with the horrible voice again. Why, honestly, why?

Rochelle Gilmore?

No, she works for Belgian TV but her voice and accent is nothing to write home about.

 

[tobydawq]

To be fair, it is rather rare that I write home about anybody's voice or accent.

Just a popular expression in Flemish that apparently exists in English as well.

It also exists in Danish

 

[Broccolidwarf]

There's a fine line between early and too early.
If you win, it wasn't too early.

Just like there is a fine line between fishing........ and just standing on the shore like a idiot.

He said in an interview after winning Worlds last year, that his dream race to win, would be a Paris-Roubaix in a complete mud bath

I expect him to be a candidate for winning both that and Flanders this year.

If memory serves me, he won Roubaix as a junior.

 

[Jagartrott]

Nice parcours for today's TT, but a bit short. No rain, but some mud on the road sides and some wet patches. Almost no wind.

 

[RedheadDane]

If memory serves me, he won Roubaix as a junior.

Indeed, back when the Danish juniors practically owned P-R Juniors.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ludvigsson fastest time. Less than a second faster than Van Hooydonck.

 

[RedheadDane]

Laporte deciding to give the other guys a fighting chance.
And he takes the lead.

Steimle takes Laporte's gift in gratitude. New best time.

 

[RedheadDane]

Steimle takes the lead.

 

[SafeBet]

Are the intermediate times reliable?
Both Steimle and Terpstra lost a lot in the second part.

 

[Faserr]

Adrenaline for Laporte?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Sütterlin beats Steimle.

 

[RedheadDane]

Welcome to the Open German ITT Championships.

 

[Jagartrott]

I'm curious to see what MVDP can do here. Quite technical descent towards the end, should favour him. Though I think both Kragh and Pedersen will beat him. Küng the big favourite, though it may be a bit short for him.

 

[WKA311]

I think MVDP will murder this course. Nice to see Steimle doing well. He really likes these short, technical ITTs and got a lot of power.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

SKA... damn

 

[SafeBet]

SKA almost 20 seconds faster than Sutterlin!

Edit: ok only 16 seconds, but still...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

That starting hill looks like it would be a lot of fun to descend
