Tom looked naked without that National kit on. Glad he smashed it this time.

Bodnar wins ITT against Bialoblocki. Next riders came in 1m30s behind over 54km.

As Sagan and Velits do not ride the time trial, there is a good chance that Jozef Metelka will become Slovak champion in TT.

That boy is just unbelievable.

Why not Sagan?
He could have won easily like last year.

I thought they had to pick a maximum of 9.

Pretty strong field now - I guess only Contador missing who could be a genuine contender. Quite a few of the big names signed up very late - Lulu, Valverde, Castroviejo - I wonder if they were waiting to see what the weather was going to be like - perhaps didn't fancy it if it was going to be 35°C+

The Slovenian RR has a (mini) Strade Bianche like course. Profile on the second page:
http://kolesarska-zveza.si/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/RAZPIS-DP-cestno-Dom%C5%BEale-2016-c.pdf

12 laps of 14km with a little more than 1km of sterrato on each lap. I know the sterrato part isn't that long and the hill isn't the hardest but with the small field it can get pretty interesting.

This is the sterrato part:

Note: it's not the beginning of it, it starts a couple of hundred meters before.

I love the oddities of national championships: 20 riders from specific teams; 3 minutes separating the top ten guys in a TT.

And congrats to Pinot too!

Nice win for Izagirre and also a good result for Castroviejo, considering his crash a while ago. Disappointing performance by Lulu.
