Copenhagen 2011: Junior Men TT 27.8km & Women TT 27.8km

[Ferminal]

Early start at 9:30 for the Juniors, with the Women following almost straight after at 14:00, a couple of big fields so it will be a long day.

Both are doing two laps of the course of the U19 Women yesterday.

So do the Aussies have any chance in these?
In the women, which I know hardly anything about, it seems unlikely with Pooley, Vos, van Dijk and Arndt looking to be favourites. Clara Hughes might set a decent time in the second group.

Junior boys I know less than the women.

Well Taryn Heather is the current Australian champion and the best rank Aussie in there. She has been working hard in the leadup but think here in experience will show and could buckle under the pressure

Gillow could also be a rank outsider but don't see her toppling Voss, Whitten and pooley.

My prediction: Pooley, Whitten, Voss



No idea witht eh boys, although David Edwards is 4th last to ride so could be a chance

That is as far as my thinking went as well, LOL.

 

[Njbb1995]

Fraser Gough should be one to watch

I don't know why Alex Morgan isn't there, current Australian champ, beat Watson and Edwards by over a minute. Part of the WR (U19) 4000m Team Pursuit last month, almost went sub 4-minutes.

With a name like that you would think he would be Australian. How about Oram? Will he do okay?

This.

Watson will medal tonight. Don't think it will be gold though.

Vos FTW...

I know TTing isn't her thing but I don't care. My heart tells me she'll win

Also will be looking out for Martina Sablikova. She's an amazing speed skater. Interesting she's also doing the bike these days

Indeed. Though biking is a common training method for speed skaters and maybe the competition - for women - in the Czech Republic isn't that great. Ireen Wust would make for a great rouleur.

How'd Craddock do last night?

Expected too much of him too soon. Will go better next year.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Some of these early boys seem to starting off a bit too quick.
50kph at the first split. Tailwind?

+ Bettiol + Ivlev

Great ride by Oram.

 

[just some guy]

Oram 47 Km/h Nice ride so far unless the bear and Fridge jumps on his back

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oram tearing it up.

 

[Moondance]

The Kiwi is clubbing the 1st group opposition to death like so many baby seals. The lands down under are truly owning the Worlds so far.

 

[just some guy]

German rider has a camelbak type thing on his stomach is that allowed in the kids ?

 

[Ruudz0r]

Looks like Bettiol isn't starting.

[Lupetto]

Last guy to start.

Yeah, but he has "did not start" behind his name in the live tracker.
