Hot racing coming up in Australia

V$ne is the number one ranked rider in the world for 2026!!. Stop the count!!

That's not a particularly noticeable altitude? If anything, drag resistance is diminished.

Maybe because it was quite stretched out instead of a single hill, but the average is still high compared to similar profiles throughout the season. He is in great form early or got even better at time trialing. Last option would make sense since he said he wanted to put more effort in it and get to the level of Ganna/Tarling.

Plapp is suffering from illness. No certainty to start the RR and if he does will be in a supporting role.

Lol, I completely misunderstood your point.

So Plapp is still dogged by the new years hangover.
Good to see the Aussie ITT distance creeping up a bit yoy.
V$ne will likely have a handful of jerseys to choose from this year methinks.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hamish McKenzie might be the most Australian name yet

You may be half right with Plapp and a hangover. he needs to be more professional off the bike. Think he forgets he is an elite athlete.

Plowright won above Welsford for the Criterium.

So, turns out Max is showing the TDU, but... possibly not in English. (Or Danish)

This is the description for the women's race:
"Élő közvetítés az év első női World Tour versenyéről, az Ausztráliában zajló Tour Down Under 1. szakaszáról"

And this is the description for the men's race:
"Das Auftaktrennen der Tour Down Under führt die Männer durch Adelaide (3,6km)."

there never is German commentary for Tour Down Under, so this is likely just an incorrect race description. Should be in in English, as normal.

Well, it wasn't available (at least not in Denmark) on Max last year.
And before that I just watched on TV2, with Danish commentating.

Well, that's a relief, because while I might have been able to understand German commentating, I wouldn't be able to understand Polish - or whatever that language is - in the middle of the night.
Not that I understand Polish during the day...
