Hot racing coming up in Australia

[search]

it stopped raining now, according to the Australian commentators. Still 90 minutes time till guys like Hayter start, so it could dry up again significantly, I guess.

And to think that I stayed home with two sick kids just to watch this.

What a bizarre day for EF. Bettiol gets mega lucky with the rain, then both Honoré and Quinn manage to crash twice!!

You're not staying home with two sick kids... because you have two sick kids?

I'm not watching - shocker, I know - I'm at home now, but I need to leave for work before they're done. Seems I'm not missing out on much.

Of course It was a sarcastic jab at the race situation. Actually the whole family is hit with a good time of Roskilde sickness, but might as well take advantage and "enjoy" the first WT race of the year.

James Moriarty has to be one of the best names in the peloton.

 

[tobydawq]

The first eight to start still occupy the top eight places. Quite bizarre. Bystrøm is best of the rest.

The dark side is back

 

[Lequack]

Bettiol will win this whole race.

 

[tobydawq]

Bilbao the first to break into the top 8.

Damn, that's some ride from Bling. Very much in the race with the bonifications.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Really bad time by Storer.
Plapp to start in a couple of minutes.

 

[Salvarani]

Pretty solid from Plapp.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

How can you have a tv-coverage of a time trial in a 2.UWT race and not show the times of the riders?

 

[Kazistuta]

It's a sh*t race! /Jancouver mode

 

[tobydawq]

Sheffield really fast.

If it continues to dry up, Hayter can still pip Bettiol.

 

[skippo12]

Sheffield really fast.

First one within 10s of Bettiol. On paper Hayter is the only remaining starter that could join them.

 

[Salvarani]

Sheffield could win the overall.

Ineos has a great team for this race.

 

[BR2]

Groves I think could also do a good time.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Hayter to win this.
What will his time be? My guess is 6:15:47.

 

[tobydawq]

Hayter slow.

Race still open.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Ha ha, I should delete my post.

 

[BR2]

Well, I don't have Bettiol in the cq-game... but I'm happy for him.
Never too great though if the weather affects a time trial like that.

Why is Harper the last rider. Do they think he's Vingegaard or something?

Apparently they expected the course to be driest when it was wettest.
