European Championships 2023: Individual Time Trial (September 20) and Mixed Team Relay (September 21)

But I have no doubt that all the expenses of the ukrainian XCM guy were covered by the other federations

The Ukranians also seem to have favoured the U23 road race, where Ponomar will be riding.

I guess they have a big team as they are freerolling

Zoe Bäckstedt has done her job in the U23 ITT. I had expected Niedermaier to be within 30 seconds of the Swelsh rider, but she would always have needed a more hilly course to have a chance of winning. A fine Finnish brone medal for Ahtosalo, who proved to be stronger on the day than the likes of De Wilde and Kerbaol.

Is it anyone that can beat Alec in U23?
Söderqvist, Rafferty and Garcia fighting for the rest of the medals?
This course may suit Söderqvist since he is big.

Edit: It was wrong Christen in startlist.

AWP is going to remain the fastest rider of the day until (at minimum) well past halfway through the U23 TT. That's Evenepoel final junior season tiers of batsh*t.

Not too shabby for a first year junior.

Lol, Segaert. Every winner thus far has been toying with their competition.

 

[Samamba]

Segaert lmao. Funny that he's also the only u23 rider that will comfortably beat Philipsens time.

 

[Samamba]

So King Albert would've been 3rd, as a first year junior. Jeez.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Philipsen would have taken bronze had he been eligible for the U23s. This surely has to be the strongest anyone has ever been as a first-year junior?

Segaert basically doing what he should do in this field. Big talent versus average talents should always produce this kind of margin.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

García Pierna just avoided to get overtaken by Segaert, but still lost out on bronze by a clear margin in the end. Were the wind speeds sort of the same as during the junior race?

Little bit more wind was predicted for u23, but didn't really check the last few hours.

Slightly gustier, nearly the same average speed.

 

[awavey]

that zoo looks an interesting place to visit

 

[hayneplane]

Will try and watch tonight but it seems safe to suggest that AWP is blatantly a generational level talent and the closest we have seen to Remco type precociousness in the junior ranks. Same course and distance in a time that would have got him a medal in the under 23s less than a month after turning 17 is immense and he looks skinny and lean rather than a flat TT rouleur powerhouse.

[Samu Cuenca]

Strong start from Schweinberger, if we can trust the timings.

 

[DNP-Old]

Belgian TV is livid with Reusser and her socks.

Fixed.

I'm amazed nobody saw that error sooner, myself included.

 

[Dk one]

Ouch, Norsgaard in 17th after the second split. Her TT has not really worked the last couple of years.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No medal for Kopecky, not even if Reusser gets punished for the socks and missing bib number.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Berniece]

Without Reusser it would have been a very exciting race

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not a bad birthday present for Reusser. It also seems like she avoided getting interviewed by that guy at the finish she never understands, so that's a plus as well.
