I think we had similar weather when Formolo won with a long range attack, right?
The first days of riding in the heat are always brutal, it's also gonna be around 34° over the weekend in Innsbruck, that means I'll travel home over the WE because I don't need that kind of heat.
No live coverage for the Italian ME ITT, that sucks!
You have Ganna, Affini, Sobrero, Cattaneo, Bettiol and Moscon, probably the most stacked field that I can remember. Ganna also is a potential big star, so no Idea why you wouldn't show the TT live.
The TT isn't easy, 45km with 3 short climbs:

That is weird. It owuld have been nice to watch, if anyone could challenge the almighty Ganna.
Why is Frapporti starting later than Boaro, Tiberi and Cattaneo?
No idea why they will start earlier.
With Cattaneo and Tiberi you can say that they didn't start last year, so Frapporti gets to start ahead of them because of his 9th place last year, but than you have Boaro who finished 4th last year, so something doesn't add up.
Why are the Norwegian medals so tiny?
Why are people that win Norwegian medals HUGE?

A sad day, João Almeida out of the most important race of the year.

But he rode GC at the Giro?
No way you can do GC at both GTs with any degree of success, especially without a full team dedicated to helping you out at the 2nd one.
Ion Izagirre wins the Spanish TT title by 0.08 seconds over De La Cruz.

Most of them are probably geo blocked. But the SWR also seems to be broadcasting via a YouTube channel, so that there is perhaps a chance for all interested parties here?:
Men's Elite is scheduled to be broadcast sunday starting at 2.30pm.

A few non-surprises: Maví García, Elisa Longo Borghini and Christine Majerus all retained their national titles. Majerus only had to ride 9.8 km to win, whereas Anniina Ahtosalo had to complete 17, Amalie Christensen 20 and Laura Lizette Sander 21 just to become junior champions in Finland, Norway and Estonia respectively.
Stanislav Bazhkou, who came second on the ITT, did one better today and was crowned the new Belarusian RR champion.

Yay Stanek, looks like he and Hanna will have matching jerseys now!
(I think her jersey is actually his old one, the one he wore in the first half of 2019)
Ganna has a history of underperforming in the heat, maybe that was the problem. The level was really high, just look at the top 4.
Weather forecast for the Danish championships Sunday, is 24 degrees, light breeze, and a significant chance of heavy showers.
Should make things interesting. thought not as much as if it was windy

Sobrero is really moving up in the world of TTers, as is Affini.
On the first intermediate the situation was like this: Filippo Ganna 22'27"; 2. Mattia Cattaneo +20"; 3. Edoardo Affini +22"; 4. Matteo Sobrero +30".
On the second intermediate: 1. Matteo Sobrero 34'14"; 2. Filippo Ganna +01"; 3. Edoardo Affini+05"; 4. Mattia Cattaneo +13"
Then in the last part of the TT Ganna bonked and lost 45 seconds to Sobrero
Ganna also had an altitude camp on the Stelvio to prepare for the Olympics (Moscon was also there), so he probably started too strong and still wasn't used to the heat. Sobrero destroyed everyone in the final part of the TT, even Affini lost more than 1sec per km.
A pretty close race in the Italian junior ITT
| 01 | Francesca Barale | - | 22:34 | |
| 02 | Carlotta Cipressi | - | + 00 | |
| 03 | Eleonora Ciabocco | - | + 03 |
What is going on in these NC time trials? Who would have bet that Evenepoel, Pogacar, and Ganna would all fail to win?

Neither did Küng. Essentially, if a country has a flag with a white cross on a red background, then things will turn out as expected.
