Tony Martin: ''Mirror, mirror, on the wall who's the strongest of them all?''

Mirror: ''Well, not you since two years now.''

*Proceeds to devour Dumoulin's soul*

TM: ''How 'bout now bish?''

Wait, it was seriously only 40km long?

Yeah it's pretty sad that the Men's elite TT was only 40 k's but this whole edition of the Worlds is sad so it fits in

Mullen really had a quiet season but I'am glad to see he has not forgotten how to ride a very competitive TT!

Yeah you're right, Kiri's performances are much more impressive (I'd thought Zaugg got more than his one other top 10 to go along with his win).

Am I the only one who has never heard of this Mullen guy?

He's been a well-regarded TT prospect in Ireland for several years, even before losing the 2014 U23 worlds TT by half a second. Almost all his results have been in TTs although he did finish 3rd in the Rás last year. Then he signed for JV and had done diddly squat this year until today - Cannondale doesn't seem to be a great place for developing young talent these days unfortunately. He's on Strava - https://www.strava.com/pros/307079 - he has a bunch of KOMs here in Dublin.

Does he regularly pop over from his home in Wales?

Really convincing from Tony. Good to see him at his best again.
All the twists and turns on the parcours have slowed down more than a couple of specialists, it appears.

Meh Tom :( clearly done with the season. He says he rode the worst TT in power he had done in a long time.

Weird result otherwise, I think the heat and the olympics have affected the result a lot

Maybe. I imagine he has family there, and it's not exactly a very long trip.

Well done to Tony, but it was a weird results page. Expected better from Dennis in the heat, and have to say Lampaert pulled one out the bag.

Amazing ride by Mullen, particularly as he's a first year neopro. As others have noted above, he's highly rated as a prospect but generally had a quiet year. Cannondale said when they signed him that they would be careful with his number of race days and the amount of pressure they put on him in his first year, but even so I think he'd have hoped for a better season. So it's great to see him up there in the top 5 at his first (elite) WC.

Congratulations to Tony. Also to Kiryienka showing that last year was no fluke.

What is the explanation for Dumoulin's poor showing? Temperatures?
My Tom has had a busy year, he was just cooked, fried, finished. He said his watts were the lowest hes ever seen during a TT.
