What's the chances that Mattia Cattaneo can get a medal???? I think pretty high. He has la vuelta in his legs

It also seems like she avoided getting interviewed by that guy at the finish she never understands, so that's a plus as well.

nah, no chance

It'll probably depend on whether he's the strongest Quick-Step rider on the day. If he isn't, then he probably won't get a medal, but if he is, then there's a chance. But if Tarling, WVA and Küng/Bissegger all deliver, then it will still be difficult for him.

I never understand UCI. Marianne Vos does puppy paws for 3s => disqualified. Reuters rides with socks until here knees, all fine... She still would have won, that's not the point, but be consistent in following the rules.

This is a course perfectly suited to VWA - No excuses if he loses today.

Backstedts back alright!

he got sick after Tour of Britain and missed some days of training, so that's probably a valid excuse.

By the way, page 11 - INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIALS – SPECIFIC REGULATIONS
Article 1 – Participation The events are reserved for the riders from the following categories:

Men Elite Individual Time Trial

Men Elite

2000 and earlier

Isn't this disqualifying Tarling from competing in the men's race?

Well, he's also disqualified from competing in the U23 race, due to having competed - and won bronze - at the World's ITT.
At least I'm pretty sure participating in the Elite race at the Worlds also disqualifies you from participating in the U23 race at the Continental Championships.

She was in a good mood, so that probably helped him. Considering she speaks French, too, she should just ask him to speak that, and then she can reply in English.

He's better at more technical courses

Lampaert also switched to the more aerodynamic Specialized helmet

Hoping for a Mikkel Bjerg gold today.

You do know he isn't Belgian, right?

Tarling finally with custom handle bars, fresh out of the wind tunnel.

Why doesn't Tarling tuck his necklace away?
