Copenhagen 2011: Junior Women TT 13.9km & Men Under 23 TT 35.2km

Maybe you will be made to join us.

Most likely, we'll fail dismally in the Elite Men category.

We're above reproach

 

[LukeSchmid]

I agree thats why I wrote outside.

ps why is BMC the best Tean ever

check your signature for spelling

Thanks, better improved version now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Porte is an outside chance for 3rd in the ITT.

Porte is interesting. You take into consideration only WorldTour Time Trials and he's been the 2nd best TT'er behind Tony Martin. In fact he's done 9 ITT's this year, exclude the Giro Mountain one and he's worst performance is 8th.

He has finished behind Contador 3 times out of 3, been beaten by Millar, Wiggins and Zabriske, although did beat Wiggins, Millar and Martin at Romandie which was only 20km.

Certainly a track rider's dream course. Pan flat and not exactly technical.
I'm no fan of big city circuits in any case.

Tony M doesn't agree.

Technischer WM-Kurs
18.Sep2011

Auf den ersten Eindruck kommt mir der WM-Kurs nicht zu 100 Prozent entgegen. Es geht oft um die Ecken. Für einen Fahrer wie mich, der erst richtig ins Rollen kommen muss, ist das nicht perfekt. Das längste gerade Stück, auf dem ich richtig Fahrt aufnehmen kann, ist etwa 3 Kilometer lang.

In WorldTour TimeTrials (not prologues, not Mountain TTs):

David Millar
1st - Giro d'Italia (Milan)
18th - Eneco Tour
18th - Tour de Romandie
32nd - Tour de France

Richie Porte
5th - Tour de France
4th - Giro d'Italia (Milan)
2nd - Tour de Romandie
8th - Pais Vasco
3rd - Paris-Nice

Which one has the better palmares overall? Do you really have to think about it?

I was not trying to claim that Millar had been better this year.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Yep, another product of the Midland Cycling Club. Must join them if I ever move up there.



Pfft, we have no ties to the ACF "Mafia"

too concerned with being a glorious west coast supporter, amirite?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Looks like a very flat course which isn't too technical though in saying that the straights don't look overly long either.

As the u/23 should have kicked off, here's a pic:

Be careful there now, on the West Coast, yes.

Eurosport commentary of mens U23 ITT,

"Most of the pundidts around here believe that Hepburn will take it out, with his main threat coming from Durbridge. The two Australians are head and shoulders above everyone else."

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

gomez with good intermediate time I think he really won a lot in spain this year with caja rural amateurs.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Howson for Australia is off...

btw, I have seen a few people walking across the course so far. wtf is with that?

ramirez is only 18 years old, colombian u23 itt champion and winner of golden medal in junior cycling games last year with colombia


HORRIBLE gomez, breaks his itt handle bar it's over for good time sure now

 

[auscyclefan94]

Quitte a few ridres so far have been fiddling things while they have started their tt. The slovakian rider nearly lost it while fiddling with his helmet strap!

Thank you, hope he can do well here.

EuroSport is live since 13:00 CET.

 

[auscyclefan94]

An Eritean rider is competing! Good on him!

 

[greenedge]

I think this for the men will come down to Durbridge/ Quaade. Hepburn also looks good. I think Brandle could top 10 if only for the fact he has been competing against the pros a bit more. Jungels will go ok as well.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I would like to see Howson please!

He has the best time!

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi OI!
