lol i've read that tony martin was going with a 58x11.now remember that the route is not flat,it has hills on it.

animal ride,comparable with those of ullrich.

Wiggins, Froome, Dowsett all look to be in better shape and form right now.

Right now, yes. But Millar is the only one of those guys who won a time trial in the WorldTour this year.

Wasn't last year the first time that anyone broke 1 hour ?

Yeah. And remember who did it? David Millar.

Tony Martin is on his way to become even more impressive than Cancellara in the time trial in his best years

Nice to see the youngster Julia Shaw doing a reasonable ride at the age of whatever. Its rude to reveal a ladies age lol.

I'm glad the Brits took Longo out anyway even if the Americans blew the field away.

 

[jens_attacks]

of course she didn't win but let's not forget that jeannie longo came in the race after being dragged in all kinds of scandals.so chapeau for coming back and not quitting the fight.

i never thought that's possible but i think it's already happening.

 

[MatchstickMan]

Even if Millar becomes available for the Olympics (BOA rule is going to get put to CAS little doubt of that) I doubt he will get the nod.

Right now, yes. But Millar is the only one of those guys who won a time trial in the WorldTour this year.

Millar apres-baby hasn't been at his best in terms of form and motivation at this end of the season, yet he still came top-10 at the worlds. Should be back to being top class next season.

Is the Olympic TT down to 1 rider per country like the track?

Nope - GB Australia and Germany will have 2 after the WC I think top 10 gives you a rider and if 2 then you get 2 .

No, every country in the top-whatever of the UCI time trial ranking gets to send 1 rider, and if you had a rider in the top-10 of the Worlds this year you get another.

So Holland gets to send two. I don't know what we'll do with them, but there you go.

I always thought they used bigger chainrings on the front so as they wouldn't spin out on the down hill sections. Effectively the need bigger chainrings for lumpy courses than they do plan flat ones.

 

[El Pistolero]

Lol, 2 minutes over silver medalist at the Olympics. Just wow...
