theyoungest said:There's a very fair recent example to compare women to men in a time trial: the Solvang TT in the ToC, over the exact same course on the same day. Kirsten Armstrong clocked 34.29, David Zabriskie 30.36. A four minutes difference in a half hour time trial, that's pretty significant.
He does road as well, he's the current Dutch champion time trial (and cyclocross of course) in his age group.
Not a bad shout. I went for a Worlds ITT and a comparable length major stage race one to make sure we got a representative startlist (i.e. at least SOME of the best in the world for both genders). Kristin Armstrong is definitely one of the best female TTers, but I was concerned for the depth of the field.
