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

[Red Rick]

Ganna only focusing on sprints and classics because Tarling is threatening him into forced retirement.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Holy *** that looks awful.

What are concussino protocols even.

Concussion protocols in a race are kind of impossible.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At least Küng didn't lose the gold by doing, but it might have been silver, considering how Van Aert did in the end.

 

[Salvarani]

Ganna only focusing on sprints and classics because Tarling is threatening him into forced retirement.

Segaert is not too shabby either.

But Tarling will probably dominate for years.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The Vuelta was good for Bissegger. He really smashed the 2nd half of the course

 

[KZD]

I expected Tarling to win but this was monumental, smashing everyone.

Van Aert really bad at the end losing silver to Bissegger.

Hope Küng doesn't have anything serious after his nasty crash.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

In all seriousness, I think Küng's injuries aren't as bad as they look. If they were, he would not have been able to get back on the bike in the first place.

 

[RedheadDane]

Concussion protocols in a race are kind of impossible.

They do them in mass start races all the time.

 

[Elos Anjos]

I'm 194cm in height, just like Tarling, but with extra 10kg. Maybe I should start loosing weight if I want to catch Ganna.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Can this Tarling kid climb? Or is he too tall?

 

[Tim Cahill]

"Miguel Heidmann" riding for Germany apparently, just imagining Hessmann with a glued on moustache and top hat.

 

[Red Rick]

In all seriousness, I think Küng's injuries aren't as bad as they look. If they were, he would not have been able to get back on the bike in the first place.

He didn't even stay down. He got up immediately.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Can this Tarling kid climb? Or is he too tall?

Pretty good at long ass 5% climbs like Ganna but nothing punchy

 

[Red Rick]

Can this Tarling kid climb? Or is he too tall?

17th in the prologue of Tour of Norway which was half flat and half the Bergen ITT climb. So I'd say no

 

[TourOfSardinia]

11 Stefan Kung

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Can this Tarling kid climb? Or is he too tall?

He was second in the Bessèges TT on his pro debut which finishes on a pretty significant climb. It definitely isn't his forte and never will be, but who knows how well he will be able to do outside of TTs in general in a few years?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Tarlign overrated? No remco or ganna or foss, kung crashed and never is quite good enough, Van aert is a notorious bottler who was sick after British tour, bissenger has been bad all season. Don't know why cattaneo was so slow.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Not a bad result for the Ukrainian. Shame about Kung.

[Didinho]

How did the Kosovo rider with his 1980 bike do?

 

[Red Rick]

He was second in the Bessèges TT on his pro debut which finishes on a pretty significant climb. It definitely isn't his forte and never will be, but who knows how well he will be able to do outside of TTs in general in a few years?

Thing is I wouldn't call that climb pretty significant.

 

[search]

was this the fastest time trial ever (not taking into account super short ones)?

 

[RedheadDane]

How did the Kosovo rider with his 1980 bike do?

31st or 32nd (dunno which one of them that was)

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good man WVA farming podiums against some Kosovan refugees and Ukrainian draft dodgers.

 

[Aimar16]

Segaert is not too shabby either.

He is a year older than Tarling
