Ashleigh Moolman Pasio has had to pull out through illness.

And Kasia has said she wasn't feeling great last week

It's a shame about Ash who hasn't had good luck this season.

Kasia has a few days to recover after the TTT, so hopefully she'll find her legs again before the climbs come around.

[Libertine Seguros]

I don't normally have too much reason to be all that excited for Fenix, but <3 Rooijakkers and <3 Stiasny so all for them here.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Judging from the presentation, a certain olympic champion is going to have a great tour...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Hitec, or Coop - Repsol if you will, have now started as the first team of the day.

 

[ice&fire]

That's how you develop the sport: host the TTT start and finish at the outskirts of the city and send the race to the motorway to attract the crowds.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Fastest time by EF, but it's hard to judge how far it will take them at this stage.
They were only 6 seconds ahead of AGI-Soudal at the intermediate point.

 

[ice&fire]

There goes Visma Lease a Bike Imperial Army

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Canyon SRAM's lost Bradbury due to illness and will only start with 5 riders. Even if Kasia reaches her best level in this race, she'll probably lose too much time today to fight for the overall win.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

New fastest time by Visma at T1. Markus will be in a good position to defend her 4th place from last year.

Canyon SRAM's lost Bradbury due to illness and will only start with 5 riders. Even if Kasia reaches her best level in this race, she'll probably lose too much time today to fight for the overall win.

Ok, I might have got that wrong Currently second at T1, but the last part should be harder for them.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not bad by Kasia and Co. They even finished with all 5 riders still together.

 

[Didinho]

Van Dijk crashed? Last corner.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At least the GC will be pretty close now, but quite a shame for Trek.

 

[Didinho]

SD Worx also close.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Realini in red?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

FD and UAE the big losers today (I guess Trek both won and lost).

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Realini in red?

I assume so, unless they don't have a jersey in her size.

 

[Izzyeviel]

one second between the top three...

 

[yaco]

Have to laugh that by the far the weakest rider in Trek's team today and possibly one of the weakest riders today is in the Red jersey.

Have to laugh that by the far the weakest rider in Trek's team today and possibly one of the weakest riders today is in the Red jersey.

in years from now cycling enthusiasts around the world will be discussing what they were doing when Realini won a time trial.

 

[awavey]

was it me or was that quite a boring TTT ? it didnt look that technical a course, yetTrek still managed to crash on one of the only corners
