Depends. Are there boniseconds?

Yes.

Evenepoel looks ready to kill somebody

QS riders got an angry Lefevre PM yesterday

 

[Extinction]

Impressive performance by Remco

 

[AlfaLum]

Depends. Are there boniseconds?

Normally there are I believe, so I would guess so. Roglic is too close for now anyway.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Two things regarding Leknessund:
1. at Uno-X he was focusing very much on his TT skills, probably more than most other U23s. At DSM he’s not been focusing much at TT.

2. He doesn’t like technical TTs with a lot of corners and accelerations.

 

[Extinction]

Ooh, the descent should give Primoz an advantage...

I would guess he doesn’t like anything in cycling for the last 1,5 years or so…

I have sent him a shortlist.

That list is probably not that short...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Looking at the first time check Vlasov really smashed the 2nd part, he gained time on everyone (even 1sec on Remco).

 

[Red Rick]

That list is probably not that short...

He can just abbreviate WvAs name each time it appears

He was pretty good at Paris-Nice tho.
But yeah, DSM sucks.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

That's the way to do it

 

[johnymax]

Rogla easily...never in doubt...
What a champion!

 

[AlfaLum]

Honestly starting to enjoy Slovenian super human performances less and less..

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Lol, Roglic even 5s ahead of Remco and already 20-60 seconds ahead of other "GC" contenders, yikes.

 

[Faserr]

Crazy time.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At least one Slovenian still knows how to do a proper sprint to the line.

 

[Extinction]

Rogla easily...never in doubt...
What a champion!

5 seconds on the descent

 

[dercuforever]

God damn such a gap between 100% fit Roglic / Pog and other GC contenders...
100% fit Roglic is incredible on ITT.

 

[Samamba]

boring

 

[RedheadDane]

Roglic still undefeated in Spanish ITTs.

 

[TomBonnen2005]

Honestly starting to enjoy Slovenian super human performances less and less..

In every race... with peaks of form lasting 3 months... At least in the past you could enjoy preparation races and flemish classics without the July freaks. Not possible anymore.

Quickstep should have brought Masnada if he had recovered from illness. He would be more of a threat to Primoz in the coming stages due to his attacking style and technical skills. I don't see remco doing much.
