Hating isn't the same as being bad at them.
(Long) TTs are the most brutal and taxing part of cycling, no wonder people aren't exactly thrilled about them.

TTTs are not TTs though. Sprinters are always very useful in TTTs because of the short, intense efforts. And as an earlier track rider too that should suit him. Henderson would perhaps do better though.auscyclefan94 said:lol, swift said he absolutely hates tt's on his twitter page.
Nobody likes TTTs. In an ITT at least if you don't have the legs or whatever it's only your problem, but in a TTT you have to keep up with your mates. Long TTTs are brutal (or were, since I don't think we've had one of those in a while).auscyclefan94 said:well he said that he hates it when people pass him in tt's. surely having people around you in a ttt is apart of it. He might be good at it but he doesn't like them at all.

Waterloo Sunrise said:The swine. In these circumstances my only complaint it being lied to - I took the result off them earlier, and they had him 2nd - sadly it seems it was not to be.
