but I guess Wout forgot to take itTJV cooked up something extra special for today.

Yep. Would probably still have the highest km/h average... looked like he was just warming up in the first half.The way he kept pushing after the finish line after completely destroying everyone's time in the second lap was quite something.
Did he have another lap in him?
The RR took too much out of him. Would have been a podium sweep otherwise.but I guess Wout forgot to take it
Yeah TJV has been flying in ITTs all year.Cervelo also the best TT bike?
Historically yes, but my knowledge isn't really up to date so I couldn't be sure. The bike can certainly have an effect over such a long race though.Cervelo also the best TT bike?
and next year - roglic,dumoulin,van aert,dennis, vingegaardYeah TJV has been flying in ITTs all year.
Kuss could undo all their power in his turn on a TTT.and next year - roglic,dumoulin,van aert,dennis, vingegaard

He was certainly very quick, what really raised eyebrows today was the benefit that he must have got from catching Asgreen and Almeida, it was in the sectors where he gained the most time too.
Even ignoring the televised coverage of the two or three of them riding a team TT you've also got the extra two chase cars to draft and have a little rest as you approach them.
Does look a bit shady when you've put over a minute into the next four best time trialists and they're within mere seconds of each other.
Okay, I was curious to see whether Primoz's Clinic thread would get some action after today's Olympics TT performance, and there's some discussion--seems reasonable. This was Roglič's all-time best TT performance, I think. --Dominant also, with a solid minute back to 2nd place. But it doesn't seem to be as unexpected as Pogi's 2020 TDF TT explosion. Or maybe I've just gotten desensitized.
more or less shocking than someone registering on this forum cause she/he was not happy a poster made a Sam Bennet clinic thread ?Roglic getting one back on Domoulin for out doping him at Bergen ITT 2017.
I don't understand why people are saying he benefitted from drafting behind slower riders Asgreen and Almeida - he wouldn't have risked a DQ to slow down for a few seconds rest, anyway didn't he pass Asgreen going uphill first? In any case, he was already way ahead of the lesser doped riders by then - it's quite shocking that Slovenian cyclists are doing all this in full public view at the biggest events in the sport, they really are taking the piss.
